  Thread: front parking brake cable replacement
Post: RE: front parking brake cable replacement

I got the new cable and it appears there is some kind of 2 sided pin that slides into slots on the cable housing that would hold it into place. It still is going to be a bear getting the pedal assemb...

Post: RE: front parking brake cable replacement

Thanks Pete. I did do a search but did not see this one. So my guess was correct about the entire assembly. Is the pedal end of the cable then held in place when it's attached? Thanks again for yo...

This is a re-send of a response to a search on this topic, so excuse the redundancy. I have to replace the front parking brake cable but I'm not sure if the cable, housing and spring assembly needs t...

I have to replace the very same item but I'm not sure if the cable, housing and spring assembly needs to be replaced in its entirety. If that's the case, how is the cable assy. held in place in the w...

Post: TC write up

Hey all, it's been awhile. Nothing wrong right now. My TC is running but needs attention. Nothing I can't handle at the moment. I wanted to share this article from an online magazine called Wind...

Post: RE: timing belt replacement

Thanks man, I appreciate to kudos. I never considered being a teacher. Might be a new career on the horizon for me. Thanks Pete, for the last tip about repositioning the distributer. It made thing...

Post: RE: timing belt replacement

Yeah, I think my timing belt was slowly deteriorating and causing all sorts of sluggish behavior. I took it for a test drive tonight and it was like a new car (relatively speaking). MJ

Thanks Pete, I should have read further. MJ
  Thread: OIL LEAK!! -------- update
Post: RE: OIL LEAK!! -------- update

What stage are you at with the belt? Is it installed? I'm no expert at this but I just went through the very thing you're going through. If the belt is in place check the piston position with the s...

All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!! I couldn't have done this job without all of you. In spite of the distributer bolt being just about the biggest PITA you could encounter, everythin...

Post: RE: OIL LEAK!! -------- update

I've had trouble determining if I'm at TDC. See my posts, along with all the answers I got on "timing belt replacement" just below yours. I think finding TDC with a stick in #1 spark plug hole is mo...

Thanks Rodger, I'll feel around for that bolt this evening. MJ

Post: RE: timing belt replacement

This is another photo related comment and question. One of the photos didn't make it in. What I was showing was the relationship of the cam timing mark with the crank pulley. When the cam mark was ...

Post: RE: timing belt replacement

PS, did my assessment of the cam timing and the degree scale being off seem right? I think repositioning the belt will only throw the cam timing out more. MJ
  Thread: timing belt replacement
Post: RE: timing belt replacement

Thanks Rodger, that's what I was thinking. The only question I have is exactly where the distributor bolt is located. From what I could find in "search", it appears that the bolt in photo 004 is not...

Post: RE: timing belt replacement

OK, here's the latest. I got everything put back together and fired the TC up (with a jump from my wife's car, of course) and it barely ran. Very difficult starting and once it got a little warm and...

Post: RE: timing belt replacement

Just a status report and an observation or two. I got my timing belt on and cam timing set in only 3 tries, with the rotor pretty much where it needs to be for ignition timing. Got my tensioner ques...

Thanks Pete, for fixing them. I did everything that was in the link you attached but did not check for spaces. I'll remember next time. Dang! This was like handing in a homework assignment that I ...
