I just successfully finished replacing the ignition switch and plug on my '95z, thanks to Shoebox's tech page. Great resource. The only issues I ran into was forgetting to remove the plastic pin in the new switch and the pita column lock cable. Cut my arms up some getting that baby out and back in. Ouch...

Anyway, it worked and I appreciate the help!

Thanks, TJ

 

Shoebox is da' man!
Tony, should've called me to help. I was available Saturday.

shoebox you do rule, your site has saved me a few times.

 

Hey Goose, what's up? You going to be at Club Clash this Saturday?

 

Just wanted to say thanks too...im in the process of replacing my ignition switch and plug... and I emailed you about some wires earlier, just wondering if you got the email Shoebox?

 

Doesn't ring a bell. Send again. I get so much junk email, it might have gotten tossed out.

 

Saved me a few dozen times!

 

Bow down to allmighty shoebox

 

Ya your site came in real handy for me a few times as well, great job.

BTW Got any tricks for removing my oxygen sensors? They are on so tight my Y pipe is movin with the wrench.

 

Yes I am. I need to know what time. It's a rare Saturday schedule, and it's a 3pm. I will think it would be in the morning? Do you know?

PB Blaster and an O2 socket. You might try a sharp blow with a hammer on your wrench or ratchet handle to break it free (you assume all liability ). Just make sure there is no slippage with the wrench while doing so.

 

Finally a thread to honor shoebox

 

Sorry to hijack my own thread... Gates open at 8:30. TTrials at 10:00.

 

I appreciate the intent of the thread, but there are so many people on this board that contribute a lot. I read their responses to posts to learn something, myself. It's great to have these sources of knowledge available. They deserve a pat on the back, too.
