Hope it is a recreation and not real.

Sometimes asking yourself WTH ? Or WTF ? isn't enough. (Looked like built on a Blazer K-5 frame)

Congrats on the repair, SxS

 

You find my old posts on CorevetteForum.com? I had an '84 Vette in highschool.  5.7L engine with a AMZING 205HP.  Weren't the 80's wonderful!  Sold it when the auto trans started to act up and my next car i learned to drive stick.  (Focus SVT).

I know there's a particular sliding and prying action to get the park switch off without breaking off a tab which renders it useless. Maybe somebody else can come up with the process because I forget  exactly how its done. I have seen new park switches for sale on Ebay a few times.

Granted, not a lot of rain, but just a little.

Lots of parts arrived yesterday and i was finally able to install the new carbon brushes (6mm x 6mm for those wondering).  I took the motor out, cleaned out all the old grease and gunk (see photos). 

 

Put it all back together and here are the results!  ark switch doesn't working, but that will be phase two.

 

Now back to getting my brakes to not try to kill me!

 

Thanks

Will

 

PS

If anyone needs carbon brushes i have about TON extra.  I had to buy 25 pairs from ebay ($8).  I'll send them to whoever needs them.
