What's the trick to bleed the front brakes?
I've used my MityVac tool (suction) and it won't work.
Somewhere I remember a way to bleed these Teves systems, but can't remember.
-
I thought the '91 radio was self-contained; no module in the consol.
-
I've got these wood grain dash/consol panels off period Riviera's that fit the Reatta perfectly.
Nice upgrade from the gray stock panels.
The picture shows the door switch panels, but they won't fit.
The center filler panel shown is not what I have; I have the CD version.
$50 plus ship.

I've got access to a '95 Riv supercharged powertrain. It's for sale. It runs GOOD.
Matter of fact it's out of the vehicle still in its cradle. They want $450 for everything, including the PCM and engine/ body harness.
I was going to buy it to put in my '90 Reatta, but I have to face reality that I'm gotting too old to do this work anymore. I had to pass; really was torn.
Anybody interested?
It's up in Aberdeen, MD.

Are the two half shafts the same?

There's talk that the alternators from Auto Zone and Advance are junk.

How about swapping out the proms?

I've got the opportunity to pickup a'95 Riviera with the supercharger.
Parts car.
The thought was to transplant the engine ( or just the supercharger) into a Reatta.
I know some on this list have done just that.
I'm open to comments, and advice on this endeavor.
I've done transplants before; 4 speed powertrain from a Corvair into a VW bus.
3800 powertrain into a Fiero.
All run great, and like bats out of Hell

Press the + AND - volume at the same time.
-
Something tells me you could press two buttons together, and the radio would MUTE.
...but I don't remember WHICH two buttons.
...or maybe I'm wrong.

Stuck tape player?
Makes a clicking sound.
-
The two units I found were separated from a stash of 12 more in the garage I forgot about.
They're from parted Buicks and Cadillacs of the period.
Anyone interested at $40?
-
Apparently the two units I have are defective, so, never mind.
-
I've got one...out of a 88-89 Reatta.
$40 postpaid
-
Crank sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump, would be my first educated guesses.
Check for spark (crank sensor).
Check for correct fuel pressure (filter, pump).
-
Why would you want that horrid chime?
-
I don't see how.
When you close the trunk on a Reatta, It's CLOSED.
No pull down needed.
Besides, you have to wire the latch in the lid, and I'm not so sure you can do that...easily.
-
It's a 7mm.
I either use a long spin-tite (like a screwdriver but with a 7mm socket on the end), or a short 1/4" 7 socket with a swivel.
Never put that screw back!
-
What's a 'trunk cylinder'?
-
Isn't hurting anything.
You might get gigged at a car show.
-
They pull out, but will fight you.
I never reinstall these pins. If they break, so what.
Channel Locks can be your friend.

That sure doesn't look factory.

Yup, the bleeders were plugged. Cleaned 'em out and the Myte Vac did its job.
