What is the reason the exhaust manifolds and studs with gaskets need to be replaced? Is it rust??
@BrianBarnettTX
@BrianBarnettTX День назад
@@debrad5783 manifolds are fine unless they're cracked. It's typically a reaction between dissimilar metals that causes seizing and corrosion, but sometimes attributable to good old rust (salted roads or off-roading that never gets cleaned). Most OE gaskets are one-time use but some can be reused if not damaged during disassembly/reassembly. In this case the studs just erode or weaken from corrosion.

Why does he keep saying the exhaust will come down with the engine? Dropping the bracket alittle bit lowers the engine?
@BrianBarnettTX
@BrianBarnettTX Месяц назад
Right, that front clip cradles the engine. If you pulled those four 18mm bolts out completely, you could (after disconnecting a few more things) remove the engine from below. As the engine comes down with the front clip, the exhaust comes with it (if you disconnect the mid pipe, then just the manifold comes down with the engine and the rest of the exhaust could stay in the car)

@@pleb2dev605 you only need to drop the clip 1-2 inches. That will earn you enough clearance to get tools in and twist the rack out. If you pull the bolts all the way out, I'd suggest threading it back in a couple turns to keep the front clip/subframe suspended and lined up. Might be a trick to line up the bolt holes if you remove the bolts and support the clip on stands (though that could get you a lot more wiggle room). It'll take some time and patience, but it'll come out. Be careful under the car!

@@kmoreno8278 yes the appliances require 110v, so generator or shore power. The water heater and water pump operate on 12v. Solar can be added to power 12v fixtures and charge the battery. A power inverter would allow the solar production to be turned into 110v but still requires batteries for a place to hold electricity.

Right now it has a red plastic cover that moves with the shaft as it changes gears. CAN I RETROFIT THIS TYPE OF SWITCH TO MY CAR?? In other words do all C4's have this keyed shaft?

Technically yes a switch could be rewired on the transmission instead of the column. Optimally a replacement switch is the best fix. Those column-mounted switches function the same way, but for some reason cost 3X as much. In the interim, you could jump the circuit with an alligator clip so it would start in any position, or put a toggle switch in-line, but either of those options may interfere with the reverse lights.

excellent tutorial! No need to buy the extra spacer, just remove the one spot-welded to your old switch, like you did. And yes, usually it is the little bent tab on the rheostat coil which goes bad. I've had a couple switches where they had just broken off. Inside, those mid-1960's FoMoCo light switches seem to be made quite stout and beefy; I found some of the copper contacts (for the high beam circuit) with some discoloration, meaning they had gone through some excessive amperage in their past - despite the integral circuit breaker! Other than that, all I've dismantled over the years usually were perfectly fine after 50-plus years. You might want to add some relays for low and high beams in the future, eventually, but that's up to you.
