Thanks for the comment. If you want take one part at a time. Hit me up with any questions.

My plan was to reuse the pitman and buying a new one delayed the project by a day. Thanks for watching !

Very close the vents are different. But the gauges are the same. Thanks for watching

@@33milegarage34 thanks for posting… the videos really help to see options and processes for restoration of my 76.

Good luck with your project. It should drive a lot better and get ride of any pulling to one side. Thanks for watching and the comment. Appreciated!

@33milegarage34 I would have quit, when I got to the pickle fork, if not for the great advice about , do not be afraid to hit it hard, and I did have to use a bigger hammer. I was using a jack, and Jake stands laying on my side. I owe you. The corvette drove perfect again

Good luck on the project. Yea I have done it too. Cheap out on a lift kit and wonder why I’m afraid to go 70mph on the freeway. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and the comment. Good luck on your project!

LOL thanks for the comment. I put a lot of time into making videos. Most of my videos suck but the Jeep videos are OK

Hope the project goes good for you. I always try to show what really happens and what the common issues are. Thanks for the comment and watching!

I purchased the headers from summit racing website. Search for year, engine, transmission and AC. A lesson learned the hard way for me, sometimes people use different alternator brackets that interfere with your fit. Good luck on the project.

@@33milegarage34 thank you sir

Yeah. My kids had the Jeep all over test hill this weekend.

@@33milegarage34 y’all got ANY drag racing footage? Mainly the FAST 💨 trucks, QUADS, or SxS? I saw that Jeremy and Lindsay kids got in a lil’ accident (blue SxS) jumping it. They were strapped in but no helmets and seemed to be fine.😯 (hope so)

Thanks for watching and the feed back. I have it on my list of videos to make.

I believe the parts your referencing are for an emergency brake cable attach. Some drums have a bracket style emergency brake and some use a pin that goes in the shoe, thinking that’s the parts your referring to. Thanks for watching and the question.

Our corvette is a 1970 so it should be the same. The electrical side of the wipers are a grounded switch system so if the system worked before the radio install you would want to go back and inspect all the ground wires and connections, it’s easy to break the ground wires and pull out the connections while installing a new radio. It’s also possible at some point the actuator got bypassed and removed. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps out.

Double check fit up. I purchased with summit and the website was helpful. AC and bracket placement play a big roll in fitment. Thanks for watching!

That’s funny. I was surprised with a few pulls it fell back into shape and the core support was really pushed back. Thanks for watching the videos uncle.

Yea...I just pick up a Milwaukee grinder last week. It's awesome! I was checking out your channel the sand dunes are crazy, and the jeeps and trucks are so clean. Michigan off roading is mostly 2 track trails with big mud holes. Cool channel

The rusted bolts kicked my butt….but I think most of the disassembly is done now. Thanks for watching

Diameter of the fan and how it seals against the radiator are big factors. The fans need to have a shroud that seals tight and covers 80% of the radiator surface. A cheap fan with a little shroud will not keep it cool. Thanks for watching

Thanks so much for the comment and sharing your build plan. I just got back from a quick cruise in our corvette a few minutes ago. I’m hoping at 73 I can still climb under a corvette dash. LOL. I agree with your wife about the blue gauges they should look good. Hope the project goes good and your back on the road soon

LOL yeah the window seals are all bad. Rusted out the floor.

Bench seat 4spd…. Pretty cool….I just priced out a TKX 5spd to convert this one over. My plan and my budget don’t line up!!! LOL. Thanks for watching and the comments!

Thanks. Appreciate the comment. Yeah LOL… I had to replace the cut line off camera.

If my budget holds out I’m planning to swap a Coyote 5.0L out of a Mustang into it. But they aren’t free…I need to sell a few cars to to pay for it. LOL

Yeah. I’m sure that was frustrating! I’m not a fan of the aftermarket grills but It’s my daughters Jeep and she likes it, and it doesn’t really block air flow. Thanks for commenting and watching

So no power to the plug . You will need to start un wrapping and testing the wire until you find the break or short. It’s a bit time consuming but not that bad. Most of the time the wire coating is damaged and the wire gets corroded and fails.You can jumper past the switch to test the rest of the system. But please go and find the break or short. Electrical shorts have burned up so many nice cars. Thanks for watching and good luck!

👍

It’s a factory over ride switch for the head lights . Kinda a cool feature. Thanks for watching and the comment!

That’s cool… it’s hard to find complete cars now. Would you engine swap or keep the six?

@@33milegarage34 I plan to attack the body work first but I have a friend with a 289 he took out of his mustang.

Thanks for the reply. It’s one of my favorite cars to drive but man I put a lot of time into fixing a vary rusty wagon. Yeah I feel pretty beat up sometimes on the bigger projects, December-March are bitter cold and makes it tough lay on cold concrete but I love fixing them. Great question about treating the cross member rust. The truth, Time it’s so much faster then me. LOL Good luck on the Forrester.

That’s funny… yeah I’m an amateur welder. Thanks for watching

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it!

Yea. I would check the switch first. Make sure the switch and body have good grounds when testing. If the switch checks good. Check the motor ground next. That is assuming your wiper door is open with switch made also. Good luck and thanks for the question.

Sorry for the delayed response. I have few ideas here. First try grounding the solenoid, the dash ground commonly fail. Next check the wiper switch, that can ground power to the blue wire. Wiper Switch off blue wire will have 12v, wiper switch on blue wire should have zero volts. Bad wiper switch or poor ground can be the issue. Thanks for the great question and watching.

@@33milegarage34 Thanks for the reply. My car is a 68 so I expect some of my connections to be different. A prior owner had worked on the wipers and everything was hooked up wrong or disconnected. The connector on the switch was put on backwards and the solenoid was dangling. I got it all working. I didn’t screw the solenoid back on to the tach. I left it hanging and ran a separate ground wire for it. Everything works now thanks to you , other CZcamsrs and a good elec diagram.

Thanks for the help pulling the seats out!!! Appreciate it!!!

Thanks for taking time to comment. We try really hard to share our experiences and information in way people can engage with.

Thanks. I’m exploring a few engine options.

So no power to switch means your going to inspect the wire for corrosion or a break in the connection. II use a test light or my multi meter to trace the fault back. You can also test to see if you have power going the horn relay that may indicate a bigger electrical problem. That’s for the comment
