1977 Cordoba, 360 4 barrel thermoquad (not lean burn), Corinthian leather, power windows, locks, and driver seat, 8 track. Good solid original car in original condition. Very reliable, I’ve been using as a daily driver for over a year. Pretty much everything works as it should, including air...
I guess the misalignment might be common and you just shim as needed. Oddly enough getting the alignment done didn’t solve my annoying belt squeak. I think it’s actually the fan pulley. It’s designed to run with 2 belts one to the PS and one to the air pump. My air pump is locked up so...
Hey thanks for the reply, washers is what I ended up doing and seems to be fine. It just bothered me that something didn’t seem right but who knows maybe it came from the factory misaligned.
Does anyone recognize what the problem might be here? My power steering pump pulley sits too far rearward by about half a belt width. So it’s squeaking and wearing the belt out. It was this way when I bought the car. Nothing is modified that I know of. The air pump pulleys seem to align...
Also just curious what are thoughts on the OSAC valve for the vacuum advance? I’m currently using the original one for the car and it seems to work as intended, to delay the vacuum advance when accelerating. Are these beneficial or just an emissions era nuisance that is better off being bypassed?
Thanks again for the replies everyone. Yes its all stock, 360 with the thermoquad. It had some kind of Holley on it when I bought it and didn’t run well, I’ve since found and installed the correct numbers Thermoquad. I could probably save myself some grief and just put an Edelbrock or someone...
From what I have found the initial set point for the metering rod tree is clockwise on the screw until it just starts to move the tree up, then 1.5 more turns clockwise. Another source I found said after contact turn the screw 1.5 turns COUNTER clockwise. I have tried both and neither solve my...
Looking for some expertise tuning the thermoquad. There is a part throttle tip in bog that I just can’t seem to get rid of. Idle is great and full throttle is good, its just when I do a moderate acceleration from a stop there is a little hesitation and then it catches and goes. I have...
Thanks for all the replies and help everyone. Seems like its doable and worth trying. I’m going to order a set of adaptors first and hook up my pump and see if I can hold a vacuum and then go from there. I’ll post my results in a few days depending on when I can get the adaptors and get to it.
My 77 Cordoba is original unrestored, everything appears to be all there. I’m using it as a daily driver and would like to get the air conditioning working, but not really sure where to start. I have a vacuum pump and some basic knowledge, but haven’t worked on a vintage system. Can it be...
Napa was a winner. Just went in and test fit parts til we found a fit. I believe the width ended up showing as 8mm. Length isn’t an issue because you can trim away the excess. Napa part number shown in picture. Thanks all who replied and maybe this will be useful to someone else.
I guess back in the day before we became such a throw away society, you would just replace the rubber part of the wiper blade not frame and all. These frames I assume are the original on my 77 Cordoba. I tried putting on the standard replacement frame/blade sets on and they fit except are too...
77 Cordoba. 360 4 barrel, leather buckets, 8 track. Little rust but overall very solid. Just using it now as a driver and trying to get everything working. Power windows, seat, locks, and 8 track all returned to working order since I got it. Latest project was replacing incorrect Holley...
