Title: Basic Pictures for a Beginner
Post by: bowlingbrad on 19 June 2009, 05:37

If at all possible, can anyone post some pictures showing all of the actual parts of the AS system? I would love to see a perfect setup so that I can model my hack-job the right way.

Maybe even some pictures of the underside. It would be nice to know how to get at some of the stuff near the trans for someone without a lift.

Thank you in advance!

Brad,
After something in particular or nothing specific? There isn't much you can't see just poking around.
Probably the nastiest spot is where the vacuum servo sit's, NSS switch or (for the US guys & later model owners) reverse switch wiring. I haven't actually seen a pic of the gearstick wire connections in my time here. I've seen it with my own glassy orbs but not a pic.

Let us know, some of us may have something tucked away.

Regards
Volkenstein

Thanks for the reply, Volks (is it okay if I call you Volks?),
I was just hoping to get clear pictures of the pump, the servo, the cv, the tanks. I just thought it would be nice to have a pic and a caption that says something about access to this part, installation, cleaning. I have a copy of all of the repair manuals, I just thought a description of stuff for the beginner would be good. Maybe even a series of posts regarding each piece of the system. For example, I tried and tried but I could not get to the pump so I had to bring it to my mechanic so he could put it on the lift and change a hose.
