Hey Gang,

I have a question about the big, 2-socket harness in the engine compartment that connects through the firewall next to the power brake booster.

How does that disconnect? I need to get it off so I can remove the harness from the engine bay and I want to keep it all intact.

Thanks,

Don

 

There is a bolt that you will have to remove in the center of the connector. It is accessable from the engine compartment side of the connector.

Cool, thanks. I'll check that out and see if I can get the thing off!

86 GTA? Must be a typo or you got screwed over....started making GTA's in 87.

 

no such thing an an 86 GTA

 

Well, beats me. Registration calls it an '86 and it's definately a GTA. I've seen people clone stuff before, but usually it's just appearance mods. If this is a clone, it would have been way cheaper for the previous owner to just trade it for a "real" GTA. Stuff like the dash, rear end, brakes and that goofy overhead console thing inside would be a PITA to swap. I'm no third gen expert, but that's my take on it.

What do you mean? Since I myself own an '86 T/A I wonder what is different about your car that makes it appear like a GTA? Do you have the (fake) brake vents behind the front wheels? T/A's had the vents, GTA's didn't. I have the goofy overhead console (with amazing flashlight ) What's different about your dash? Brakes?

Funny, I bought a hood off a kid who's '86 GTA (vents in hood) got totalled, he was hit from the rear, and parted the car out. Too bad I ruined that hood too
