rare_ram Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hardly any post for about 2 weeks. Where is everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glhs0075 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes, the lack of activity has been eerie... Well, since I'm here I'll go with a quick little update. I recently picked up a set of 15" LeBaron GTC lace wheels and tires from my local Pick and Pull. I put them on the '87 GLHS for a change/see how they look. I don't know how long I'll leave them on for, I can't decide if I like how they look. About the same time I noticed the power steering cutting out at low speed. I checked the fluid, and it was bone dry!!! I filled it up, but still no p/s at low speed. I figure the pump is pooched now, and I still don't even know where the leak is! Oh well, I'll deal with that when I'm not so busy. Since I'm here anyways... is it the same power steering pump for the 87 GLHS as a regular TI from the same year?

shelbymotorsports Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Since I'm here anyways... is it the same power steering pump for the 87 GLHS as a regular TI from the same year? If you mean the same as a T-I Dodge Shelby Charger p/s pump the answer is yes. If you mean are all p/s pumps from 1987 T-I cars the same that I don't know. I supect there may be a difference between say a L body p/s pump compared to say a E body. Your local parts department can say for sure.

glhs0075 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks Steve, As S/C's are getting pretty rare up here, I'll have to pull some part numbers and look into that. Winters are long in Canada, I'd rather be driving right now than pulling a P/S pump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rare_ram Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I found a 5 speed mini in my JY so now I have the parts to finish my Mini C/V conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks Steve, As S/C's are getting pretty rare up here, I'll have to pull some part numbers and look into that. Winters are long in Canada, I'd rather be driving right now than pulling a P/S pump! I took a quick look at one of the online parts warehouses and their computer shows the same p/s pump part number for most every domestic fwd Chrysler car. I then looked at a Chrysler dealership online parts catalog and they show two different p/s pumps for the 1987 Charger. One pump is for a NON-Shelby and the other is for the Shelby version. I crossed referenced tis Shelby pump and it comes back to other FWD Chrysler cars with a "Sport", "Firm Feel", "Heavy Duty" steering option. So it looks like there are two pumps out there. Both will fit but apparently you will want one listed for a Shelby or a firm feel option. If you're going to grab one from a j/yard I would look for one from say a Turbo Daytona, Turbo ES Shadow or a Turbo LeBaron GTC. If you decide to go with a rebuilt parts store pump I would just go with the one listed for a 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger Turbo. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be able to find a Daytona or GTC at the local Pick N' Pull! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Okay, I'll try... What no engine pics? Just giving you a hard time Those lace wheels don't look too bad. Makes me wonder how the Shelby Lancer wheels would look. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glhs0075 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I think they would look good. The Lebaron wheels are my budget alternative to the CSS wheels. I suppose I can did up an engine pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
