    Unfortunately, I have an ASC sunroof.

    Steve is the man. Not only does he ship light-speed fast, but he is awesome with replying to PM's. I would most definitely do business with him in the future.He also uses exotic leopard print duct tape to seal his packages.

    SOHC Auto to DOHC manual conversion

    The ones on the bottom of those lines are for the DOHC axles (that ' mark is supposed to be a * ). The A/T and M/T are only for those in the AWD column.I didn't even read that when I posted it, but it looks like the DOHC axles are 2mm shorter. I am not sure if this alone would cause any...

    SOHC Auto to DOHC manual conversion

    Rivnuts would work. Just anything to secure the bracket to the firewall. There's also a rubber gasket that seals against that hole with the bracket.Regarding the axles for FWD models, the SOHC axles are different than those on DOHC models. The outer CV joints are different. I am pretty...

    Which fan is which?

    The fan on the passenger side of the radiator is the cooling fan. The other one is for the A/C condenser.

    SOHC Auto to DOHC manual conversion

    I was actually able to fit a SawZall (reciprocating saw)(the VFaq says that there is not enough room on DSM's for this) with a metal cutting blade down there to cut the holes for mine, but I had to file the edges, as they were a little rough. I used a drill for the bolt holes.You will run...

    Annoying ABS..

    Crankshaft Timing Plate Question

    Edit: Actually, I see what you are driving at. If the timing mark is not in line with the crank pin... like here:Reversing the plate would definitely cause the timing mark to be off, at least according to this picture from the manual. To verify, I would check to see that the number 1...

    Crankshaft Timing Plate Question

    If memory serves me correctly, the plate is flat, and aligned via a side pin in the end of the crank. So, even if it were installed backwards, I think it would still give the same timing mark location.

    SOHC Auto to DOHC manual conversion

    Other than those mentioned, things should be good. It's a good thing that you don't have cruise, otherwise things would be a bit more complicated. Nothing to worry about there though.Good luck!

    SOHC Auto to DOHC manual conversion

    The TCU (Trans. Control unit) is located way back up under the radio. If you pull off those plastic sideboards that run along the side, you will be able to see it. It is definitely scrunched back up under there.Quote: I took a look in the engine bay and the trans plugs into the current...

    SOHC Auto to DOHC manual conversion

    It is definitely a project. I wrecked my '92 Galant GS (automatic) shortly after rebuilding the engine in it. I found a SOHC Galant (base model, no power windows, mirrors, nothing) with a good body but a bad motor. To make a long story short, the engine harness will most definitely have to be...

    Need help with electric fans

    First of all, are you saying that you got a non-turbo harness, and you're trying to use it on a VR4?In accord with the circuit diagrams contained in the second volume of the factory service manual, the radiator fans on most non-turbo model Galants only have a 4 pin connector, while the turbo...

    engine removal

    I have found that when removing the engine with the transmission attached, it is easiest to hoist the entire mass at an angle, with the transmission being the low point. If you get the angle right, the engine will clear the power steering lines on the drivers side of the engine bay, and the...

    front right axle removal help

    When I did this for the first time, I called a mechanics shop and asked. They said to just hold the axle straight, and smack the end with a heavy mallet. The force is just enough to pop the clip and let the axle go in, without damaging the CV joints. I'm not sure how others on here do it, but...

    front right axle removal help

    Yes, 'away' from the side you're working on (rotate steering wheel counterclockwise in this case). Doing so extends the tie rod towards the side you are working on, allowing the hub enough room to swing aside and clear the axle end. This worked for me when I removed the front right {passenger...

    front right axle removal help

    When I did this, I ran into the same problem. If you turn the steering wheel all the way to the opposite side (away from the side you are working on), though, I the axle will clear. This worked for me.

    I bought some parts from Steve (1gCrazy) last year when he parted out his Galant GSX. I paid him $140 for various items from the partout. It took him nearly 3 months to get his act together and send the parts. He did so only after I threatened to file a claim with PayPal. I most definitely will...

    Sequential Injection Oddity

    Maybe it counts 10ms and then triggers batch injection, regardless of being consistent?Quote: How much fuel goes into these "extra" batch fires anyway?In that pic it says the "amount" of fuel is dependent on the degree of acceleration. All you would need to find is the injector duty...

    Sequential Injection Oddity

    I remember reading someplace that the stock programming is such that fuel is actually dumped at WOT to prevent the engine from detonating. The ECU goes "Open Loop" at WOT, ignoring the o2 sensor, etc. This goes for both the Turbo and N/T cars, if I remember correctly. I wish I could recall where...

    vibrating

    Everyone just cool your jets. I mentioned vibrations because when my b-shaft belt broke (it didn't get tangled into the timing belt , but it was close) my engine vibrated A LOT around the 2500-3000 RPM range. If you read over the theory on how the balance shafts work, you'll see why vibrations...

    HVAC controls

    It's a volume allocation control lever. It directs air in accord with the selection you make. If you pick "L", it directs a higher volume of air to the left side of the vehicle cabin. The right side still gets air, but not as much.Hope this makes sense.

    opinions wanted

    Option 2 or 3. The Galant GS and Galant GSX are more rare (so I've heard) than even the VR-4. Even though the turbo appeal is not present, you still have a car from the same family. The non-turbo Galants make comfortable, long lasting daily drivers, so long as regular maintenance is performed...
