This actually wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve had a couple relays for the compressor “die” from heat soaking and a new cold relay would solve the issue. The compressor is NOS but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have issues, I think it’s 30 years old but still had mineral oil in it so it was for R12 before the requirement. I don't know about any shims, I’ll look but the brake cleaner is a good idea to try.

GM grill nuts. Look that up on Google or Amazon. I approve of this idea actually! I thought about it but thought maybe wall anchors but not the grill nuts. Clever! Looks like I’ll be doing this to both my front grill assemblies.

I might be the only one with this issue but my compressor after coming down from high RPMs after a 20 min drive slips and doesn’t stay engaged unless the RPMs climb or I get out and smack the clutch with a wrench to engage. I have a feeling the magnet is hating the high heat it is enduring out here. It runs absolutely fine in the morning which points me to heat soak issue. But I’m curious if anyone else has this or if it’s just me on the surface of the sun.

Can you snap a pic of the cluster? The 87-90 requires a different speedo cable to use which is a clip on style with a nylon clip. 84-86 had just a metal end that plugged into the cluster and was held in by a clip.

Oooo sounds like some neat history then. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Jim Click or our LHM store down there.

Ewwwww sorry you’re stuck down there. But if you ever find yourself in the valley, let me know.

Nope! Much hotter lol. Comin to the valley?

Oh hang on. Is it the blue face? If it is, like I said, the components on the back for the tach are poor quality and fail and make the tach do weird things like what you have got going on. They need to be replaced if the tach were to work properly again. You can also update to the 87-90 cluster but you have to change out your speedo cable. The later tachs are adjustable.

Only 84-86 tachs can not be adjusted and since their age, their circuit boards and components need some love. 87-96 should be adjustable. If you say it has a broken spring, then the tach needle shouldn’t move back to 0 and should stay where it’s at. That being said, you could have bad grounds that would be interfering with the signal.

So you’re not using the eagles vacuum shift system? What’s your plan?

Mine has fog, cargo and trans plugs. That’s it.

Will you be able to use the 231 with the Eagle’s set up?

I just have the AMC jeep one. Thank you AZ for lettin me run them.

I. NEED. THE. LITTLE. AMC. FLAG!!!!

Yes. I forgot about the YJ guys. They should be exactly the same.

The ground is just for the little lamp on the switch itself. Otherwise it’s just basically a power transfer switch. you can always use a multimeter and do a continuity check to see which tab is which. I think the bottom one(if you’re looking at it head on with the lamp on the top switch portion) is ground.

Looks like sealed metri.

Sounds good. Shoot me a PM. I can say they are in the Delphi family. I’ll do some digging too to help expedite the process.

I have the connectors for the tail lamp harness at the body and I have plenty of wire I can use to make the harnesses, but getting those new style connectors wouldbe been a challenge for me to try to find without a dozen trial and error. So if you want to take this on, I can send what I have if you are interested. A lot of the wire i have came from my work that are scrap harnesses.

Given my busy life and the fact they changed the connector from weatherpack to a newer style from Delphi, I have decided that this is something I won’t be able to pursue. I apologize to everyone. If I find a spare moment and if I get a pic of the current plug, I can do some digging and look into doing this.

I should put in my sig that I’ll take a Dr Pepper in moments of gratitude haha. But thanks. Oh and 87-90 there isn’t a difference. 86 is slightly but not by much. It can be used in a pinch but the difference is the 86 ECU will be looking for that WOT switch vs the later ones that use the power steering pressure switch.
