Got the rebuilt brake booster back on, secured the front cross brake line, and futzed with retro-fitting the lines to the new MC (went from single to dual). No damned room between the MC and the fenderwell; impossible to ever bend anything tight enough, so on a wild goose chase for something I've never seen before- a 90-degree hydraulic fitting that'll work.

Kinda cheating, as this is my sons ‘94 Chevy truck. He’s working on the rear end and wanted me to double check the pattern on his used gears, so sent me pics. I taught my sons how to check patterns and set up rear ends. Gotta pass this info on to the next generation or they’ll spend all their time playing video games.

I installed leaf springs and entire rear assembly, put the drum brakes together, and start putting gear oil in. Just got to bleed brakes and put in another qt of gear oil today. Then road test to see what I messed up. LOL

White Tempest: 1. Tightened left rear convertible top. 2. Replaced broken boot snaps, 3. Added the decal for jack points to the trunk deck. 4. Added the factory engine lift hook point. 5. Manufactured and installed the convertible top well cover on both arm rests.
Red Tempest: 1. Added decal to the windshield washer fluid bottle. 2. Found the Rain-X bug remover is the proper green color for the washer fluid. Added that to the bottle. 3. Added the factory engine lift hook point.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
