That is all you need from the harness.

You make your own ground to the chassis.

Welcome again! 65k is basically just broken in :)

Awesome! Can't wait to see your build out.

I would totally be interested in seeing that video. Sorry site bloked my video. The best way is to upload it to youtube and then copy the video code and put it between the youtube tags. https://www.astrosafari.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=110697 I've never seen anything like that, so I'm only poking ...

I was updating my post as you were replying, that nipple at the bottom(the one that goes down to the pump) measured at 15mm, so 5/8 for that hose.

RA lists the ACdelco part as 5/8 ID https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=983876 Basically 16mm or really, really, really close, really. Is this what you were getting on Oreilly? https://www.oreillyauto.com/shop/b/suspension---steering-16778/power-steering-16478/steering-hose-reservoir-line-12...

Damn, that system is going to need more than just that one hose, look at the steel line in that last picture. Looks like it needs a really good cleaning/flush, some new lines, fresh fluid and a proper bleed.

I think the stock jack is fine most of the time. I did have one fail on me while changing a rear tire once, however I don't know if it was abused before I got it. I never noticed any signs of stress before it's failure. Fortunately I was in a WM parking lot, because they wouldn't mount a different s...

How did they get that center block in there to begin with if it can't be removed? By force? Do you have links to all the parts that were ordered to be installed? Sure looks like if that center block was removed you would have no problem pushing those axles into place to install the c-clip and then p...

I used a Dremel to wallow out the hole, then I checked the CKP correlation. When it was 0° at 3200 RPM as per the book, I locked it down. Of course, you're not supposed to have to adjust your timing, but needs must. Brilliant! I hope that number is available with my scanner. Thank you! :ty: I used ...

This is the way I would go as well, and if everything is ok then I would replace the pan or begin a teardown.

So fresh, and so clean!

Nice work man!

Sorry , maybe you can copy the link and paste in new tab?

Fixed it for you, just need the video code at the end of the youtube link between the youtube tags. https://www.astrosafari.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=110697

I heard about it on the internet, it has to be true. ;)

Have you ever heard of the GM Techline eSI Minixp ova edition? :)

Yep, fabrication definitely opens up a lot of options, you may not want to invest the money/space/time to do so, or maybe pay someone to to it for you. Always options. Most everyone can do it if they choose to. If John Travolta can do it, how hard can it BEE? LOL Yz3uLLFF1Co But with how wide the ra...

It happens to all of us, esp when you own multiple generations of vans.

Do you mean something like this? roof_rack2.jpg Ideally you would want as little shading as possible. There are probably calculators that you can use to determine exactly how much your output is going to drop(it can be significant) by having some shading. Could even contact your panel manufacturer ...

Going forward, I'm satisfied with addressing issues as they present. I'm looking at a parts van, a good candidate, identical but RWD, and trying to decide if it's worth the investment or frivolous. They can be great to have if it's cheap enough and you have the extra space to store it. Yours is in ...
