For some reason when I hear wiper nozles it reminds me of muffler bearings.

They say Tennessee was one of the states hardest hit.

Are 91 hubcaps different for the other models?

Cheese heads could now be called snow heads.

Maybe a quart of blinker fluid would be good award. I forgot to mention that you can also get all those hard to find items there like muffler bearings, cross drilled brake lines and sooooo much more. Don'f forget to read the reviews on their products. Most have 5 star ratings.

Thanks for the info!

Jon, What is involved in making the change? Does it require cutting and splicing the wires or do they furnish some kind of wiring harness? I think that would be a cool addition to my car. Thanks

Glad I could help.

I'm curious. Did you use the proportioning valve off the Riviera to balance the braking from front to rear?

John, A while back there was a good discussion about the sway bar links. Some of it is about the 90-91 models but most is about the 88-89 models. Maybe you will find it interesting. Click here to read the discussion.

Most people who frequent this forum are willing to help you any way they possibly can to keep your Reatta in top shape. If there is anything you need don't be afraid to ask. I'm sure someone will be willing to help. Jim Finn is a good source for used parts when you need them. You will find a lot of tips here on how to maintain your Reatta.

I'm not sure Jim, but I don't think it comes apart. Probably will need to be the whole light assembly. Anyone else know?

A normal brake bleeding does not work correctly for the Reatta brake system.

Yes, If you are talking about the whole assembly. My right side has the internal amber lens (for turn signal bulb) broken inside. Do you have one that is good?

Steak, thanks for documenting the problems you are encountering with the change over and how you are trying to overcome them. I find it useful as information we may all need sometime in the future. When you are done, I hope you explain what proportioning valves and other things you had to add, change or modify. It will really be helpful.

Another Reatta Post.

Barney, I'm ready to shoot for a new mark.

I searched for '88 parts. They may be the same. Here is a link for '90 valve train parts on NAPAonline.com
