So, I know it's been a few months since anyone replied to this thread, but I have 2 questions. 1.) Do all FMJ Bodies share the same gauge cluster (GC) and climate control (CC) bulbs? I looked at O'Reilly's and Auto Zone, neither had the CC bulb. However, they both had the GC in their systems...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses. I'll most likely grab a NSS and replace it on a day coming up.

Hello everybody, Recently, I was driving with my buddies behind me on the highway, and when we pulled into the apartment parking lot, they said my reverse lights were flickering on and off. "we thought you were telling us to slingshot around you" (watched Fast 9, so of course a bit of Dom was...

I was looking at it, and half of it is rubbed away by the weather stripping. Since it runs, I don't think there's too big of a problem.

So I went out to look at the vacuum again. So the EGR line is split, as you can see, and runs to one of the thermal sensors. There's also a line coming off of the air pump purge valve. The last line runs from the other thermal sensor to this branch as well as the back of the BBD and the vacuum...

1980 Volare slant six converted to super six.

Today I went out to fix the problem. Since the correct part couldn't be found, I had to make one.... I purchased a 1" plastic end cap from a local hardware store. I took the door panel off, and got to work. I first drilled a hole into the cap using a step bit. From there, it was a combination...

A rubber one might work but I'm worried it'll just year after 20 uses. I think there's a volare that's being sold whole or parts, might have to take two off of that one and save one for the passenger side, when it inevitably fails.

Hello all, Before Thanksgiving, I tore into my door because the glass was rattling around when it was in the down position. Upon inspection, the plastic sleeve (that goes between the guide post and the lower guide hole in the metal mounting bracket for the window) had split in half and fell...

It's only seeping from just after the crimp, and it's actually bulging a little. Yeah, I'll have to at least replace that one line and the compressor. I just don't want to do that, and then have another line give out in another year or two. If I decide to get it fixed, I'll have to bite the...

I know the system is low, on max ac after running for 30+ min, it only gets down to 80, when it got down to around 50 when it was first refilled. The compressor runs constantly, and it's actually starting to sound bad. While I'm not too worried about ac right now (rust repair comes first), I'd...

So, it has come to my attention that my compressor and one line are seeping. I know I can probably get a compressor, or even a rebuild kit. When the ac was done a few summers ago, we had talked about getting fresh lines, but had a hard time finding anyone that remade them. So, am I sol on the...

I got my 80 Volare evaluated at Carlisle, all original auto /6 ac 100k miles and trans, 10k on motor rebuild. It was estimated around 10k I think, but that was for insurance purposes. Like they were saying, 3 grand is reasonable for a decent 80 F body.

Yeah, sorry about that. Couldn't easily post the video, even after trimming, so I just posted the drive Link.
