  1. I replaced the left rear wheel bearing and drum. I snugged the nut up then backed it off to where the cotter pin would fit I then tried to turn the drum and can hardly move it. Any one have any thoughts?
  2. The inside of the drum on my Gl is stripped out no grooves left at all and bearings are bad.some how the brake backing plate got destroyed(bottom edge is flat like it was cut off). I'm thinking switching to rear discs are the way to go. What parts do I need to get and where is best place to get them. There is nothing in the junk yards
  3. Thanks to all for the help. Capped the vacuum lines.i left the egr valve in but capped the lines. The line from the egr to the anti back fire valve was dang near clogged 100%. Sprayed some carb cleaner in it and its much improved. Carb still need some attention will get to that soon enough.
  4. I've already put new pcv valve in. 1st thing I noticed was oil blowback in the breather. Ill cap the lines remover and plate the egr valve and see what happens thanks for the info. Ill keep y'all posted
  5. 60k original miles. I doubt the carbs been touched. The car idles rough/stalls and the egr light is on. Was going to replace egr valve if fixing the vacuum problem didn't make light go out. Can I remove the egr valve all together and plate the hole.oh and the catylitic converter looks to be rusted all to hell also

  7. 4 vacuum lines go to that part 1- to the breather 2-front of carb 3- back of carb 4- to a metal below it that goes into the engine I believe. Hard to see lots in the way
  8. Ok here's whole story... Just bought 1986 gl wagon w/1.8 l carb. Engine. The guy said it had a vacuum leak around the part that is in the pic I posted earlier. So I replaced the lines goin to that part.which the dealership is calling a vacuum switch valve that's pretty much non existent. I removed it to see if there were any cracks or anything will the part was on the bench it was destroyed by my son when I wasn't looking. So now I'm totally with out the part unless I spend a lot of money which I'd rather not do.
  9. Is there away to take off all the emission bull crap and not have any problems??
  10. Vacuum leak. I replaced the hoses that run to that part. The car ran I little better but not great. I sprayed it with starting fluid and it ran smooth. I'm still trying to find out what that part is
  11. Got some vacuum leaks around the part with the green tape can anyone tell me what it is and if I should go ahead and replace it when I do the lines
  12. Just bought a 1986 gl wagon it needs driver side front fender and turn signal lens. Any ideas were I can find them. Thanks
