    whats the deal???

    started working on the front brakes, pulled the caliper and rotor and noticed the rotor has some sort of gasket/seal on the back side, which holds in the bearings, among other things. can these seals be replaced or do you have to buy all new rotors? and yes, I am quite dense when working on...

    just another relay question...

    since I can not open the pics on the relay post, I am forced to ask yet another boring question. I have tried to look at every aspect of the use of relays and have come up with an observation on the orientation of the way to wire up the five terminal relay. 30, 85, 86, 87 and 87a. the way I see...

    what's this wire for?

    was looking thru the wiring schematics today and noticed that some are repeats, rear grounds and rear lights, I think, anyway I have a pink or possibly purple that has faded, in the rear wiring, and do not know what it is for. as I am building a bare bones harness, for a race car, I am going to...

    digital multimeter...

    getting ready to do some wiring and I need a multimeter to help sort some things out. some of the meters I have looked at have a 10a max amp dc/ac measure capability, which might not help with a 15-20 amp fan connection. anyone have any suggestions on brand, price, where to buy? thx...wannabe

    how to wire a remote solenoid...

    just got thru checking in the electrical tech section on this subject and looking thru the reply area about the "I" connection, which is of no value to most, but before I assume too much, the "S" terminal is for the starter switch, is it not? also, when running the positive cable from the trunk...

    having read thru the tech section, the way I understand it is, you can get/buy u-joints with 1310 and 1330 sections in one joint. don't know if I phrased that correctly or not. and what do you ask for when you go to the parts store and what brand is preferred over the others? thx...wannabe

    I just had a 9" with ladder bars put in the malibu and my rear brake lines were destroyed. Is there a schematic showing the brake line route down the frame? and for that matter, does the brake line have to follow the frame rails? could it be run down thru the interior and dropped thru the floor...
