hmm.. musta missed the memo on that one.. mine's a one piece... there again.. previous owner did a little facial discredit to my Pathy at one point in her life...

y'all need to make up yer minds... lol. Nope..yup..nope...yup... PHEW! Just like us women! Except..I am only like that when it comes to shopping for my Pathy.. cuz that's the only kind of shopping I like! -bounce-

What he said ^^^^

I agree...luckily...and Pathys are good for that "inconspicuous" thang... my Jeep..ack! cops would spot me a mile away and follow me for no reason.. guess my Pathy isn't as pretty so they leave me alone.... *thanks God* :bow:

I want some of 88's from WD21 (damagedreality) forums.... *drools*

lmao! yeah.. last time I play captain-save-a-hoe to a bug! (that's how I broke the needle).. my speedo NEVER worked since I got the Pathy.. always like 25mph out n stuff... hehehe

You spotted my piggies... but not the broken speedo needle!! lol

You da man Ryan.. you da man! :cool2: *kills herself from embarassment at doing a write up on it and forgets one important bit!*

So.. your Pathy IDLES fine WITHOUT the alternator.... but you're saying as soon as you hook it UP it konks out? Sounds like your alternator is shorting out.. do what 88 said.. check all the alternator wires, especially the ground wire..something could have worked loose while you were doing the t-belt. BTW.. there are two timing marks, one on each cam sprocket.. I don't have a mark on my housing either. Line the cam sprocket marks up with the (aw crap fergot the name!) ...ack! hafta get back to you on that one.... you can also tell TDC if you have the valve covers off... lemme go take a peeksie at my marks... *runs outside* pssd

*does the happy dance* glad yer finally getting yer license back!! -bounce-

Yup. popped the wheel off today and got everything dialed in..everything works PERFECT! thanks for lookin out Ryan! I would have figured it out eventually... rather now than later though!

schweeeeeeeeet!!! looks great Rami! nice work 88!

mine was done 4,000 miles ago.. I am good for a bit now. AMEN :bow:

I'd sell ya my roof rack B.. but now the tire carrier is sold.. I'm gunna need it! :contract:

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! I really need to paint my piggies... haven't done it inna while... I could do yours at the same time?? lol Funny.. I was laughing about my toes being in teh pic when I posted it! Didn't think anyone else would notice though! You guys don't miss a thing! (that..however..is a very good thing.. cuz I woulda been p.o.'d at my turn signals not working tomorrow for no reason.. now I know the reason!) :contract:

Yes. They are still in the kit.... I will check into installing them tomorrow and see if things change.. wonder why they worked that one time after I installed the wheel.. I took her down the road... THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! good lookin out!! NOWHERE in the destructions did it say ANYTHING about the turn signals... WTF? damnit Grant.. you suck! Will let y'all know how I finally get the turn signals to work.... funny how they worked that one time... weeeeeeeeeeeeird... :furious:

well.. once I see how the one looks.. I will no doubt be ordering a couple more if I like them.. even if just fer back ups

he said post gibberish.. not your life story in a foreign language!! btw.. gibberish. that good B?

HEY PRESTO! You have a nice new Grant steering wheel! Yes.. I KNOW I have 1 screw missing in there (this wheel came off Daves 79 Chevy and the screw was missing then.. I will get a new one tomorrow)

Last but not least.. I had to add a ground wire for my OEM horn... pssd so.. once it that was installed.. on went the center cap and away you go!! Thanks to my better half Dave,for installing the little ground wire for me.. if you knew me and electrical stuff.. you would be breathing a sigh of relief... BTW: GRANT adapter kit # 3560 I paid $10 for mine @ Autozone. *NOTE! The kit from Grant does NOT include the 2" spacer (ribbed rubber lookin thingy) shown in my assembly (I already had it).. you can get those anywhere (i.e:Summit/Autozone/Kragen) for around another $10, but check junk yards first..that is a universal part. Torque specs: Shoulder bolts: 10-12 ft/lbs Steering shaft nut 25-30 ft/lbs (very important NOT to overtighten these bolts/nuts) HAVE FUN!!!!!!! don't forget a few -alcohol- inbetween tasks!

Step 4: Have a drink, a smoke, or whatever floats yer boat, and then put the above pictured assembly on the steering shaft. *DO NOT force it on!! gentle with it or you could mess up your steering shaft splines!* Align the marking "Top A" (inscribed inside assembly) as close to TDC as your OEM wheel was. Once that is on, You can install the Grant wheel. Round metal plate goes on the BACK of the wheel, and install small alan headed screws to hold wheel on. Like ah-so:

Step 3: Ok. You got the OEM wheel off. YAY for you! Check the general condition of the shaft and splines, and any doodads n gadjets you think might be worn. I used one of the two little grease capsules Grant supplied with the adapter kit and put it on the shaft splines..the other capsule has to go on the copper back pictured below. Glad I did grease the splines, cuz I had to remove the wheel to straighten it a bit, and it made it a LOT easier to remove the wheel again. The copper part goes closest to your dashboard. That is the back of the assembly. -study- Assemble your Grant wheel and adapter as per picture below, but don't forget to put the 2 little black pins supplied with your kit in the 2 holes pictured! sssh On the pins, the open sections MUST face the steering SHAFT, if they don't..your turn signals and wipers won't work! I tapped mine all the way in, and had no rubbing or problems. If they rub the plastic inside the column, you can bend them a bit for clearance.. if rubbing occurs, it could prematurely wear out your turn signals as well as the pins.

Step 2: Pop the wheel nut. It is a 19mm or 3/4 socket (I used 3/4). it should not be real tight. After popping the nut off, go get yerself a lil puller. I am not 100% sure what metric size to use, but I kinda used standard bolts cuz basically I am not keeping the OEM wheel..in the end, using the std bolts didn't cause any harm.. they were 5/16th (Chevy guys.. you understand?). GENTLY screw the puller bolts in, don't force anything, you could mess the shaft up.. then yer..well.. you get the idea... here we go with teh puller:

ok y'all. I installed the Grant wheel today. Easy as 1-2-3..well..... Step 1: disconnect the battery ground wire. Pic 1: take the OEM horn button pad off. My Pathy is a '92 (no air bags), so you just grab the top n kinda push the top down gently and she will/should pop right off. NOTE!!! for '94 & newer Pathys, they have air bags. Section 11-15 in the Haynes manual has steering wheel removal instructions, to include air bagged Pathys. OK. There is a clip on the lower part (you will see it if you pull the pad back a little).. disconnect the horn wires that are in front of it, and pop the clip. you will see why I say pop the horn wire clip out first.. the black clip you need to pop is a PITA with horn wires in way. I couldn't get to the little screw in there..so I popped the clip instead...no damage no problems. **Make sure your steering wheel stays in the UN locked position during the whole process as it is easier to get the new wheel straight and easier to maneuver stuff

:o shhhhhh.. sssh don't tell!!!
