Yes. Unless it's been fixed already.
I figured it would provide a price reference for the '91 in Florida.

According to Rusty's web site - no.
I just looked up both cars in his catalog and the web site shows different
part numbers.

The reason I like the Cavalier is that it is sort of the Mini Me to Debbie's
Buick Regal -- both are very comfortable on long (2 hour each way) trips. No
tin can feel to it. Plenty of power, cruises comfortably at 65 mph (I am 54,
not 14) and that is 'nuff for me.

I'm guessing the die for that would be more than a new tool. If you have a
friend with a lathe that knows how to single point threads that may be a way
to go, but to pay a machinist to do that would be way more than the tool.
How about using a metric thread file?

Ok, so today I sacrificed the prechamber tool and forced it farther down
into the prechamber. Success, the cross-threaded prechamber is now out of
the head. The prechamber tool is about $45, unless someone can tell me
what the die size is to re-thread my tool. Is that possible?

For good reason I think as it does not exist that I know of. The temperature
regulation is performed by a resistor bridge that consists of an ambient
temp sensor, outside the cabin mounted on the firewall, an inside temp
sensor (likely the one that you replaced, most likely unnecessarily)
I also changed the in car sensor, the a/c amplifier. All with the same results
all heat all the time. Now I have a Temp Control Regulator though I don't see
it in my car? Would just like to change it and see if it makes a difference.

Douglas,
Is your system an ACCII with the Chrysler servo?

Exactly. Starting with the same color, though, means that
the usual (masking tape) repaint will still look decent, those
little bits inside that somehow get missed won't be jarringly
obvious.

A brand-new car often ends up in the shop, sometimes a little,
sometimes a lot. 'Free', but there is still the PITA factor.

These are the Mercedes I like to buy. Usually the owner gives up after a

The other issue with a door painted the same color is it really is not the

I have been lurking for quite some time and now have decided to repair my 1980
