Electrical / Re: Steps to replace center dash speaker
« Last post by stros on Today at 08:34:16 PM »Initial surgery is complete - gauges are removed. There are 2 bolts holding in the bracket (was expecting only 1). Looks like there are nuts behind them holding them in.
Moving the center air ducts out of the way would make it a lot easier to get to. To move them do I just need to loosen the bolt circled on the right?
Still not sure I can slide the speaker and bracket out thru the main gauge cluster. Looks like a tight fit. Is pulling out the glove compartment surround pretty easy?

He certainly will be missed by the Trans Am community, and everyone that knew him.
Condolences to his family. Rest well, George.

« Last post by N PRGRES on Today at 06:41:34 AM »Front and rear PTFB GT suspension (springs), new gas tank and sender, new lower arms and new tubular upper arms with the longer PTFB ball joints. Koni shocks all around. PTFB aluminum solid body bushings. Alignment and shims this morning. Trying to ready it up for FirebirdFest 4 in a week. Still have a few things I want to do to it before the trip.
Did you just replace the sender with a stock unit? Do you have any needle fluctuations as you drive? Mine seems to move about 1/4 tank back and forth as I drive.
I got home from 4 days of driving (FirebirdFest is a blast- I highly recommend it if anyone is interested in a show where you DON'T sit by your car all weekend, but actually take it on daily drives) and can give a report. Yes, I bought a stock gas tank and sender from Firebird Central. The gauge doesn't bounce around. I checked mileage every time I fueled up (averaging almost 15 on road and town combined. I decided to really test it on our way home yesterday. I usually fill up at 1/4 tank. Always have with all my cars, and did so this whole trip. It would take right around 15 gallons, which is right for a +/- 21 gallon tank. On the way home, I ran it until the needle was thisclose to the uh-oh mark19 gallons later, it was full. So yes, it is (so far) accurate at any level and doesn't float around.
Thank you for the info!!!

« Last post by roadking77 on Today at 04:42:55 AM »Thanks Luke, I am leaning more towards getting the connectors. IF nothing else just because. My black car isnt bad and Im not putting out more than 400hp AND I dont race or even drive crazy. Overall it feels pretty solid. But I have been thinking about them for years and right now is the easiest time to install them on the 79. Just another expense 
and more time
I really do want to get this car finished sooner than later, I promise.
