Would the weight of the Alternator and A/C be too much for the Head if I left that brace off?

Cant switch the alternator as the Power Steering pump is on the other side

The pics show my predicament. Because the ports are different the support arm from the block to the AC/ALT Bracket wants to go straight through my extractors. Anyone else had this problem? How'd you bypass it?

I am no longer using the quadrajet so I assume I no longer need the pink wire??

Hi All I am trying to minimise the wires in the engine bay but cannot for the life of me figure out the relevance of the Pink/Violet wire that runs to the Quadrajet then on to a 2 plug joiner with a Dark Blue or possibly green wire. The then run through the harness to the 21 plug joiner that...

Hi all, Im trying to figure out why one of the previous owners of my Calais has removed the Violet wire from the starter and connected it to a relay, which has power direct from the battery, an earth, and a wire down to the starter? My guess is and I am literally guessing is the Neutral...

Hello All, Has anyone changed the rubbers on there door? I have recently purchased a freshly sprayed VK Calais and it has no door rubbers on it. I have the new rubbers but can't figure out how to install them properly. I have already poked a hole in one and don't want to do it again. I...
