Yeah but newer cars are charged with R1234yf which is very explosive. Newer frigess are also charged with propan butan mix. But OK I know the discussion. Maybe if the system is running I will charge the system with r134a. The butan/Propan mixture should be like the old r12a, better cooling and less leaking.

Hey, Where I get those inline filters to prevent dirt in the system? Does the filter in the drier will not prevent for damages? Im rebuilding also my AC (Compressor and hoses was missing) buyed already new Pag oil, dryer and expansion valve. I will fill my system with a butane propane mixture as r134a costs is crazy high in Europe.

Yeah I will buy a rebuild one soon. What you have done with the rubber cable holders? You leave them both?

Hey, Today was some of the day where everything goes wrong. I only want to change the cables from battery. Negetive no problem then I want to loose the plus on the starter and whoom the solenoid brokes. Shit but OK the starter looks old. Than I want to remove the plus cable but there are two rubber holder where the cable is in and I can't remove it? They stick it only in? What have you do? I think there are no spare parts? Sebastian with his 68, 430.

Nice thank you. Than I will replace only the old main cable. The 2 copper braided wire still exist but I will replace them also in the future.

Hey Riv Thanks for your answer. You mean like the negative connection shown on the picture attached? Somebody have an original factory picture?

Hey, Because of corossion I want to replace the negative and positive battery cables. Does somebody know where the original negative connection is? At the moment I have two cables on the negative battery point, one goes to the chassis direct near the battery, the second goes to to a bolt of the aluminium case over the power steering where you also can adjust the belt tension. For me that looks serious. Is this the original point? Also I want to remove the backseat, somebody knows how to Remove it? Have a nice day. Sebastian

The misfire on full throttle sounds like a machine gun. When I move the gas pedal smoothly it seems to be OK. What is to prefer the TA Performance HEI for 100, pertronix about 200 or msd 6 AL for 250? Will I get some more power?

Hey, I read in the chassis manual that the Riv needs a tire pressure from 24 psi which is about 1,65 bar. Actually I had 33 psi (2,3 bar). On 24 psi the tire was so flat that I don't trust to drive and fill in 33 psi again. I have a 225 75 r15 tire. What tire pressure you drive? Also I drive some 1/4 mile times and recognized some heavy misfiring when I reach about 80 mph. Before 80 miles I don't have problems. What can happened?

Hey I got a power antenna with broken mast and nylon insert. Can I got a repair kit anywhere?

Hello Riv Owners, Can anybody confirm that these compressor will fit in my 68 Riviera? Can't find anything to this model. Seller said its from a 69 wildcat. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/klimaanlage-buick-us-car-chevrolet-cadillac-gm-klimakompressor/918456590-223-4133?utm_source=sharesheet&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_android

Today it was the next day to work on my Riv. Tested with a fan in the exhaust where it blow fumes from. Every connection from the exhaust is leaking. No wonder that it's smells in the inner for exhaust fumes. After the last time where I can switch to ignition I can start today the car and 5 minutes later it was dead. I identify that the plus cable crimp on the battery is lose. I hope that was the failure but I wonder that I had the last time ignition. Stupidly I put my dashboard on the roof and it fall down and cracked. What a bad mistake. Otherwise I test my new car jack.

Sorry for my late reply. Today I started to remove the antenna and surprisingly it was easy and I don't need to remove the wheel housing. For mounting I only put my Riv on jack stands. Stupidly somebody remove the electric antenna and install a manual. So now I know why the antenna switch isn't working.

Serious today I try to start the engine and no problem starts as always. Any ideas? @NC Yeah thank you. I taking apart all lighters and got them to work. Recently I try to get the original radio to work. Also the clock the cruise control and courtesy light switch now works. Last week I got the wiper washer also to work.

Hello Riviera Owners, I have some questions 1. Yesterday I drive 5 hours and had no problems but I shut off the engine before my garage and can't get it on. Battery is OK. When I turn ignition to start I hear the buzzer beep but starting motor is not working. Any ideas? 2. Is it normal that the buzzer is on everytime when I will turn on the engine?

Hey, my antenna in my 1968 doesnt Work. Can I remove the antenna without to remove the wheel housing?

Friends, May somebody read my first topic. I buyed an 1968 it has stock AC but somebody remove the compressor and the 2 big lines which is connected at the compressor. Does somebody know where I can get the lines?

You can buy new ones for good prices there Rockauto

Thanks for help. I checked my seat belts and I had 2 belt buckles per seat. Never noticed that. Does anybody have a wire diagram so I can check where there is some technical issue? Trunk light works but all cigarette lighter, courtesy light, red sidemarkers doesn't.

Me again. So I buyed the chassis manual only very cheap on ebay. I have another point: I had the problem that I cant drive with my child in the Riv because we need a 3 point seat belt for his child seat. I read in the Buick Electra manual (see attached) that you should use the lap and shoulder belt at a time but I see only one lock so that I can use lap belt OR shoulder belt. Is there really a special "individual buckle" that they sell extra? Anybody have a picture or part number?

Yeah Ed I think your right for books it should about 13% Tax. Rodney thank you I will Check shipito! For the Manual I think I will bis following Set https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F252714304009 Heavy price but I have all needed details incl. Part list Maybe I can clear following questions before I geht my Manuals 1. Is it normal that the oil and Generator lamp glow and some annoing beep tone is ring when I start the engine? 2. How can I get easy access behind the courtesy light Switch?

Sorry I thought you Know. Im from Germany and need to pay shipping + 24% customs Tax.

Thank you for your support. I only find one book of the Chassis and Body Part book but price is high What you think about this Set: Manual set I had the Problem with the high shipping cost so I need one seller. Today I checked the electric together with my other above mentioned problems there is no bulb working. Also No cigarette lighter. For the New Radio someone Cut the original connectors, its a mess.
