Honestly I didn't look at them that close, just glancing at them they looked the same. I don't know why I didn't think to check something that simple. I swear, lately I seem to have the mental...

Okay, I feel like a real moron for having to ask this but which ports(top or bottom) on the L-body quick ratio rack is for the pressure and return line. It finally warmed up to above freezing so I...
Yep, master cylinder seems to be the culprit. I think it's ridiculous that a 28 year old used master cylinder is in better working condition than a new unused U.S. made cylinder.
This is the one you need: http://www.jegs.com/i/Motive+Products/715/1103/10002/-1
The master cylinder was brand new.
Well, problem is fixed. It warmed up to the low 30's, so I put on my shorts and t-shirt and decided to work on the car(It's pretty sad when freezing feels really...
I'm going to put the car on hold for a few days. It's all of 12 degrees now and supposed be be single digits in the evening and I don't have anywhere heated to work on it. Plus my lovely assistant is...
I had the same problem, the piston firmed up a little but not like I remembered from doing one on a stock omni years ago. I have the stock master cylinder that came off the donor caravan, I think I...
I'm trying to get my rebuilt GLH back on the road and ran into some issues today bleeding the brakes. First off, virtually everything on the car brake related is brand new, master cylinder(24mm cast...
Well, the first option is to do the VW dist mod. I looked into that initially but didn't like the lack of a hold-down flange on the distributor and decided to look for something else. Since I...
The car will run fine with the computer just controlling the ignition. When I converted my 87' Omni to a Weber I ran it that way for a couple years with absolutely no issues before I had to ditch the...
I am having some issues with the manual tranny mount on an 83' omni. It's the older system and uses the same style as the typical passenger side motor mount. The only way I can get it to sit in the...
Anybody have a 5 bolt crank pulley in good non-rusty condition that they are willing to let go cheap?
I should have been more clear in my first post. I figured I would need the pump, lines and bracketry, I just wasn't sure if the lines would fit and route correctly in the L-body and have the same...
Will the ZF pump, hoses and bracket bolt right into an L-body without any modifications/problems. A nice looking turbo daytona just showed up in one of my local yards and it has the ZF pump on it. If...
Does anyone know where to get the different valve required to use the ham can pump with a quick ratio rack? I just found out I accidentally scrapped the ham can that came off the GLH and kept a stock...
I decided to go with flat top 2.2 pistons in place of the original dish pistons so I will still be good on compression. What I need to know is using the adjustable sprocket or 535 with offset keys,...
I admit I forgot about that. I was thinking that since the teeth and the keyways lined up, I would be where I needed to be for the slider cam and G-head. Since the 557 lines up and is approx. 2*...
Okay, I may have just found really simple solution. I took one of the 974 square tooth sprockets off a spare 86' 287 head I had lying around. I wanted to see how far off the teeth would be with the...
Is it safe to assume that the 557 sprocket is supposed to be on the aux shaft? If I put the 535 back on the camshaft, what kind of offset am I looking at? Right now it seems like the easiest thing to...
Thank you for the info, I greatly appreciate it. Any chance those $87 adjustable sprockets are still available? To make things more interesting, I have a 87' Aires wagon that has an 87 2.5 TD that...
Not sure if this is the right section, but here goes. I am finishing up a project car I started last year and had a question about the Cam sprocket/head combo. The car is an 83' Omni with upgraded...
Pm sent. Almost forgot, what year and car are they off of?
I am looking for the arched shield that goes over the power steering rack boot on the driver's side of a 1985 Omni GLH. Mine is completely shot, I thought I had a spare but the holes are spaced too...
I need a set of the stamped Caravan control arms with the extra factory welded bracing. I don't mind surface rust that can be cleaned, but definitely no rot/scaling. If you don't have a set, I really...
