What did you do to your camaro today
#1292
Am still working on replacing the 194 bulbs in the dash with LED lights which plug in their place but have to be put in kind of carefully to make a good connection. I wanted to pull the whole instrument/warning light cluster out to do this so I good be sure to get them in good. I got stuck trying to get speedometer cable loose. Anyone have any words of wisdom on how to do this? FSM just says to push the tang and then pull in out. I thought I pulled the tang toward the front of car but could not pull cable out. Pretty frustrating that the FSM does not show the connection and not much explanation. Cannot tell if it is just stuck after 35 years or ??? HELP!!

Yes, push the tang in (towards the speedo), then pull the cable housing off while still holding the tang down. You pulled the tang away from the speedo, which is the wrong direction.

If polished, then I use Mother's wheel polish paste, and lots of elbow grease. If it's pretty dirty some brake clean and rags will get it degreased before blasting or polishing.

Cleaning Intake Manifold
Thanks; I have a cast aluminum intake. I've tried several solutions with no luck. I was trying to avoid removal of the intake as that is a lot of labor just to clean. Perhaps I should try an etching type solution. However, that is a rather strong acidic path to follow and I don't want to create a bigger problem than I already have.

Tough to get looking really good on the engine. I've used brake cleaner and a bronze bristle brush to loosen things, and then wipe with clean cloth. Repeat until it's about as clean as possible. If it's not totally trashed, I've had good luck getting them pretty clean this way.

Had some time and relatively warm weather so took the opportunity to work on the '79. I put a new radiator in along with new hoses, belts and a battery tray. Filled up with anti-freeze and ready to cruise. Now I am looking at finally adding gauges to it after 30+ years so I will know what is going on under the hood.
