Guest Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 I have a '66 Pontiac Catalina convert. that has lost the power top function. Motor /pump appear to be working O.K. & I suspect hydraulic fluid loss from the lift cylinders is the problem. The real problem,... I can find no means of introducing new fluid to the system. Anyone out there with any information or ideas ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 Is it in your service manual?<P>Cheers, 3MP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 Tom,<BR> Remove the pump cover shield over the pump motor. You should find a filler plug on top of the pump. It may be a somewhat flush rubber plug. Be sure not to overfill. 75% Max. These units are sometimes a pain when trying to bleed the system. Bleeder kits and parts are available. Come back on if you need info.<P>Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
