Hi and welcome.

[ladz24/z26]

thanks i been looking around this site for awhile and found some great info and atleast its more active than v6

[Money pit Beretta]

Tell him to get rid of that junk air cleaner. The only thing that does is filter out rocks.
I'm sure he could find a good drop base and put a K&N on.

[ladz24/z26]

well thats how the engine came with filter the previous owner had a piece of foam sitting in there he bought a holly filter kit for it im just installing the engine and trans for that car

its a pita cuz it has solid mounts that the base has to be welded to the frame have to get it right the first time

[Money pit Beretta]

Sounds good.
So what problems are you having with the Beretta?

[ladz24/z26]

well for 1 just installed my 93 cavalier verts 3.1 in it and the dash wont light up i have no idea i thought rettas were the same as cavs

ok are all of the fusible links suppose to to one side of the starter or what cuz my cav has all links to one side and the
retta has a 2 fusible link wires and it has a small opening like for the small screw and the others have bigger side

also have issues with the fan it would start up late but i think it was the relay sensors were new thermo new so i am really not worried about this till i get the dash lights working

but were is the fan relay on these cars

[ladz24/z26]

just drove the 96 z26 and left turns flash faster than the right side i dont know its first time its ever done that

also has the dreaded interior leak already got info to fix on this site

and wanted to ask about window sweeps and rubber around the the door are there any oem replacement or is sort of hope to god u find a good set

[themadness]

the turn signal is most likely the flasher. it was on mine anyway. i have a 94 and it was located under the dash behind the steering wheel.

you damn near have to stand on your head to get to it though.

which side is the interior leak on?

[Money pit Beretta]

Check your turn signal bulbs. Just one bad bulb can make the light on the dash go faster.

I got brand new GM door seals and what your are calling sweeps.I don't know the part numbers off the top of my head. If needed I can look them up. Some GM sites have a place to look them up with a diagram. I think the site I got them from was New GM Parts. That was a few years ago. I checked many sites and did alot of emails asking if they were in stock. Many list the parts, but none are in stock.

[ladz24/z26]

ill check the bulb and then the flasher

the leak is on the driverside but i actually found yesterday by mistake i was installing wipers happened to look down and saw the urethane all cracked around the rack found it cuz i saw this pic originally was always looking at the cowl for some reason never saw this pic till i got to this site

and i tried looking them up gave up a bunch of times i guess i take some real search to get to find them thansk

b4 i forget on the leak whats the best way to fix it i heard it was urethane not shure though

[themadness]

if you mean on the firewall around the rack then i had the same problem. i coated that area with plastidip, problem solved. popped the hood and used a large turkey baster to squirt some along that area starting as far down as possible and working up. that space was too cramped to use any spray or a brush so the baster worked well. i also put some around the drain flap under the cowl. it appeared to be in bad shape so i figured why not do it while i was there. it was clogged with the leaves. after that i pulled the carpet back on the driver side floor to let everything dry, cleaned with carpet cleaner, and called it a day. a seven dollar fix. check that whole cowl area for holes and bad areas.

[ladz24/z26]

k so i ve heard of this plastic dip but never used it b4 any info of where i can get it

[themadness]

any hardware should have it. it comes in a spray can and a dipping can. get the dipping can if you plan on doing it without removing any parts. theres no way to spray anything down there without taking off a few odds and ends to make room. most places sell black and maybe yellow but it comes in red and white as well.
