This car will be destroyed just by power sliding and flying around in the dirt. Please post some pictures of the car itself as it sits. Thanks..

To be honest you haven’t given any information on what you are working with to start. These cars are a unibody design without a separate frame where it can be beefed up. Can you describe what you have at this point to work with along with pics. Thanks friend

Might be easier to reach out to the forum and look for a spare somebody has.

Don’t forget to check the coupon tab and save an extra 15%😂😂

Did you check Amazon?

Does the paint follow up the line for the 260 & 280?

Go buy some gunk degreaser and clean the bottom area. Either way the transmission needs to come out to do any of the repairs needed. Common problem. Better to drop it and everything will become obvious

If it’s gear oil that’s not hard to determine. Have you noticed a major oil leak under the trans. Could be multiple problems starting with the clutch master and slave. Try bleeding the system first and check the trans level for oil.

Did the car have aftermarket air conditioning? Could have been some make shift brackets for that.

Did you order a new Frontier alternator from RO?

By chance did you have the headers ceramic coated along with the collector?

@Matthew AbateAre those ZStory headers?

Nice work… That was not easy.

That electrical pumps windings could be going bad and pulling down the system. If it’s making a ton of noise the bushings are going south as well.

The reading on the battery fully charged should be IMO 13.2-13.4 Volts. As for the electric pump scenario, the mechanical pump had been deleted by the PO?

Earl’s fittings is where I found mine. They sell a bunch on Amazon as well.

I did. They looked really nice. Wish he had a set for the 280 series I would have bought them.

Sorry about that

You’re fine, Did you choose not to incorporate the tee and manual gauge. That and a fuel pressure gauge after the main fuel filter will help you with diagnostics in the future. IMO

My Bad!! Toranado slipped my mind, but now that you refreshed my memory that monster of a car is fresh on my mind. What a beast of a car that was. I’ve always loved those motor homes!

If those don’t work out I believe I have a few of the other brand at the shop.

Isn’t that the GMC motor home that was front wheel drive back in the day? Same drive train from a Riviera?

Thank you @jfa.series1for pointing that out.

Ok,thanks. Wasn’t there another company out in Texas?
