Hatch Lift Replacement Lessons

Wed May 25, 2016 3:33 pm

Although I have been involved with H-Bodies off and on since they were brand new, I has been some years since I pulled the cover off of my project car and done anything. Getting tired of using a broom handle, I went to replace the hatch lifts on both of my '77 Monzas. Here is a link to the experience, along with part numbers and sources:

Running!

Last weekend, while the fuel tank was removed, I took the opportunity to replace the rear shocks. They were so bad, it made me wonder if they were original!

I rebuilt the assembly, tested the sending unit, got the new fuel pump installed, inspected the tank (it looked great), cleaned it out and reinstalled. The battery was new so I climbed into the cockpit, turned the key, and after years of sitting in my shop, fired up first try!

Now time to start working on the huge, long list of repairs to make it roadworthy and add some comfort features (like power steering!).

Dropped Gas Tank

Got a few minutes today and took a first step in getting this running . . . Dropped the gas tank, yanked the fuel pump / gauge sending unit assembly, verified that the pump was the reason no fuel was making it to the front of the car.
