I just replaced the 1157 bulb in the right rear housing of my '99 this week. The housing is held in by two screws in the side and another in the bottom dead center. after removing the screws the unit pulls stright out from the back. Be careul as there are two push in locator pins atached to the back of the housing. If you should break one off JB Weld works wonders...hint, hint. Once the light unit is loose you will see that the wiring harness socket is the only thing holding it in the truck. This is a plastic spring clip that releases at the bottom rear. Note that it only goes back in one way. With the wiring unplugged you can now take the light unit somewhere comfortable. you will see that the lens is held in from the back with screws. I hope his is helpul john
They are not too hard to install if you are strong and not afraid to climb into the trunk. Requires two people to do it. One to hold the trunk up all the way and the other to get in and snap the spring back into place. You place the spring end in position first (hole located by the hinge), then locate the torsion end and pushup and back and snap it in place. The only hitch is if the spring didn't break and the bracket itself did, then you will need a body shop to reweld and repair the mounting bracket. Option #2, get a stick and use it to prop up and hold the trunk open when you are using it. Good Luck
A 2005 Honda Element should have a spark plug gap that is set at .044 inches. Almost all Honda engines are set with the same spark plug gap.
The gas filter is on the underside of the car about one or two feet ahead of the rear wheel on the passenger side of the vehicle. The filter is sometimes covered by a metal can type casing or an orange plastic type cylindrical covering.
I have a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme. My car has a 1968 front bumper, hood, and grill. Its mirror of your question but If a 68 can go on a 69 I wouldn't see why a 69 couldn't go on a 68.
Everything I looked up about a M90 shows that it is a supercharger, there were no superchargers on the 442 from the factory.
HIGH octane
10w-30 oil will work fine.
also if your engine hasn't had the new hardened valve guides put in the heads to run unleaded gas you need to add a lead additive to the gas tank when you add gas to the tank, all parts stores carry the additive.
Actually, that's kind of an old wives tale. Very seldom will you burn up the exhaust seats (not the valve guides) running an old engine on unleaded. If you run it at high RPMs or towing/lugging it a lot, then maybe. If you have the heads completely redone at some point, you could go ahead and have them installed for piece of mind. But 98% of the time they will be just fine. use sunoco ultra 93 toget the best timing advanc for max power

Wait, MY roof on YOUR Cutlass, what?
I find for this sort of work, the reciprocating saw is by far the best choice. Grinder cutoff tools also work well, but make sparks. Sparks induce fire.
The battery powered DeWalt recip saw is hard to beat. Many other brands are also similar in quality and ability. Bosch, makita, Milwaukee. Cheap "Shipwreck Tools" versions- not so much...

if you mean as a last ditch method, yes, but not in the engine. if you have a slipping transmission, and the car is on its last legs anyway, you can put sawdust in the transmission fluid to help them grab so that you can make it home or to the junkyard. I've personally seen mechanics do this to sell a car and have gotten to a lot of trouble. if you put it in the engine, there's little it will do, other than clog the oil filter.
The specs on NGK brand spark plugs for 1985-1993 BMW 535i lists the gap at 0.028. Hope that helps.
