Thread: 04 GT....The Sunroof....solved

Thats probably going to be a messed up sunroof regulator. Plastic screw-type drive thingy can strip out or eat debris then once a chunk is gone its toast. If its a 6th gen with a pop-up / slide back sunroof, I know you can drop the overhead console where the switch is, and take the motor loose. Might need a visor loose and the tricky sunroof trim ring off to get access. But if you take the motor loose from the reg, you can cycle it by hand then you'll see. Any grindy noises or notchy operation mean quit messing with it until you can replace the huge regulator. You don't want to have it stuck open lol.

Well... Its a '71-2, bored .030, has plain low compression small valve heads. But with HEI, Eddy intake & 750, unknown # Schneider cam (approx RA4?), Doug's 3 tube headers, TorkMaster 2000 B&M converter, TCI Trans-Scat stage 1 shift kit (manual but not full manual), HD sprag, deep pan and brass filter, lets see... unknown el Camino 12-bolt with 3.31s I think. With the old 400, I had potential for 14 flat, best was a 14.2 @ 95. That was overcammed but this 455 is a better recipie and is just strong overall. Runs out of air past 4.500. I have some big valve heads and Harland Sharps I need to swap on. So really, not much more attitude than a GTP but it sounds and withstands punishment way better. The FWD GPs are the "junk" but the old one is sliding downhill too.

Ok picked up. Complete sunroof assembly and steering column for 140...... Gonna try to get everything working tomorrow!
i will post up details on how it turns out.
