Well......Looks like I'm gonna get an education $$$$$$$ in Power Top repairs....The Nu Yawk guy I bought the car from told me (LOL) that the hydraulic power top system in the car was brand new as it was just replaced......So.....I wasn't concerned about that part....So..the top wouldn't operate and by looking at the plastic lines that go to the cylinders I could see there was air in the lines so I figured it was probably just low on fluid........LOL....
So.....I get out my Fisher Body manual and check out how to add fluid and bleed the system...I go out to the car and start to check it out and I find a different type of top motor than the book shows.....Hummm!.....So....I start to remove (what I thought was the fill plug) and find out that it's the bolt that holds the reservoir on the pump body....as it loosened up and the reservor came loose, no fluid came out....I took it off to look inside and found a 1/2" of muck inside it......Darn!!...So....I clean it out and add some automatic trans fluid (Supposed to be brake fluid, but they had trans fluid in it).....Power the pump and it runs and starts to build pressure, but not enough to move anything.......I can see where this is going $$$$$$.......Putting a Wax job on this "Perfect" Nu Yawk Survivor car is starting to get $$$........Those Krazee Nu Yawk guyz will do anything for a laugh....
