then I remembered why I was in no hurry to git it back on, it don't work, or so I thought
luckily Mopar Seth came by and the dude is a wizard with [my] Multimeter and in about 2 seconds flat he goes your brand new Grant steering wheel horn button is DEFECTIVE, that's college kid speak for BROKEN he says, just buy a new universal one and call it good, then he went inside to get a beer that was both good news (in the sense that I wired it up right) and bad news in the sense that I hate buying new stuff to replace new stuff so by the time he came back out I had the button in a million pieces turns out that gold dish cup thing was not dished enuff so we set it on a big nut basically a round donut with a hole in it and punched it with a punch and a 3 lbs sledge once and dished it out proper and whalla problem = solution |
Re: Restoring Rusty
I think we need a sound clip of the horn working. hahaha

this time finally we are going to use the REMFLEX 2011 gaskets

Re: Restoring Rusty

REMFLEX makes at least three different small block chevy gaskets so we was sure to pic the one for the Vortec aka L31 cylinder heads
2005 - 2006 - 1-3/8" x 1-1/2" Square Port 2011 - 1-3/8" x 1-1/2" Raised Square Port Note it says: "Raised square port" maybe that's they key, a properly port matched gasket, lol I'm just trying to help out anyone out there in the forum land who may be looking for information on this stuff, that's all |
