Re: Weird oil smoke problem.

Could it be a blocked pcv valve. I have a MK triton with a 4g64 that has a similar intermittent problem that my research indicates is most likely a gummed up pcv.

Re: Galant sedan inner rear pillar covers

If they were for the hardtop, I would probable take two sets.
$100 per set would be an acceptable price for me depending on fit and finish.
My GD parts list gives different part numbers for the sedan and hardtop so I would not be interested if they only fit the sedan.

Re: Eletrical stuffs

The wiring to the sound system should be connected via a relay into your accessories circuit, not your ignition circuit. You will cook your coil if you leave it as is.

Don't forget to check the metal mesh filter at the carburetor fuel inlet. Had a similar problem years ago.
Could also be the condenser starting to fail. Had this happen also.

Re: Decrepit's 75 Hardtop

The VR4 came out because; 1 It was fitted approximately 50mm too far forward on custom mounts so that the themostat could clear the firewall. 2 Because the engine was forward, the track rod fouled the bell housing so this was cut away so that the steering could work. 3 Because the engine was mounted...

Re: Brakes completely locking up and boiling?

Had the exact same problem a couple of years ago.

It was the master cylinder sticking and not releasing (the car would stop by itself and not go till I released the pressure build up by cracking the bleeder).
Either put a kit through it or swap it for a known good one from another car.

The manual GD wagon I bought new in August 1976 did not have a brake booster fitted.
Of the numerous galants I have subsequently owned, only a 77 GD wagon and the hardtops have been fitted with boosters.
