Mudbone Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Here is the photo of removal. Is this the wind lace you are referring to? My steering box is in but not bolted tight. I can remove some of the bolts and tilt it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NailheadBob Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 @Mudbone I called Garage Squad and had to leave a message that we wanted them to finish your car next week, BUT they have NOT returned my call? Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 It appears from my first photo that I removed that wind lace first. I took a look at One Bid and I have no access to the dash bolts without damaging the wind lace by prying it out of the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resistance should be 1.4-1.6 ohms per shop manual specs. Check the values, the replacements run high in my experience between 1.8-2.2 ohms. Potential to lower primary voltage and cause a weak spark when the generating system goes into discharge, especially hot idle in drive, aggravated when loads are on like headlights and fans. Try it and see first as all the other replacement parts exceeding spec tolerances these days may compensate. If you get a replacement that has the (nichrome?) wire exposed in back vs encased in ceramic, trimming off about 1/4 inch of length will bring it into spec. Verify with a meter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudbone Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Sue helped me slide the dash into the car this afternoon. I least I now have more floor space in the garage. Now the fun begins! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) This is out of order but I just wanted everyone to know I have scheduled YouTube uploads of the Dynaflow rebuild. I wanted to put them all in order and do some more editing but I do not have the time. I have scheduled uploads through august. (One or two videos a day) Not in order. Some of these have been up for some time. Most have not. These were done about 12 years ago so I may not be able to answer any questions. I followed the service manual and I had some service bulletins. Click on the Youtube link and you should be able to see the play list. Be Nice…….

Kosage Chavis Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The videos will be a tremendous help. I have already viewed all of the available ones you have. Thank you Mr Mudd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosage Chavis Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) How are you @Mudbone? I viewed all of the dynaflow rebuild videos that you posted so far. You mentioned lightly hitting the gasket surfaces with a flat file to knock off the high spots to help prevent/minimize leaks. Is there any reason why someone couldn't just take it to a machine shop and deck the surfaces just enough to make true? Or are the tolerances for fit on this transmission just too tight to make this a viable option? Thank you.

EmTee Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I suspect the high spots typically aren't bad enough to warrant the effort and expense for machining the surface. Run a large flat file longitudinally along each side of the pan rail and any high spots (such as surrounding the threaded pan bolt holes) should be readily visible. Probably doesn't take much effort to knock-down those high spots. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudbone Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 (edited) Buick Saturday! I am finally getting back to Project 66R after cleaning up after the Burnt Buick. I have a little more organizing to do but I have a question about this dash trim piece. (Glove Box) The photo shows the trim piece that appears to be covered with rubber. (One Bid) Does anybody have a photo of what it is supposed to look like? This one is very deteriorated. I have the metal clip.

Mudbone Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 (edited) I am working on the steering column this morning. I have a question about what I have found at the lower end. Is this hardened White lithium grease (Lubriplate) or is it some type of caulk? Edited March 5 by Mudbone (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I would say lithium grease. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I have no direct experience but I would also say lithium grease as long as there is another seal to prevent engine bay heat and fumes from entering the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
