Well thanks TODD. That was awesome.(y) A ton of great info there. I do have a tilt wheel so I will be checking that switch out. I hope it is as simple as that. I will drop a line on this post if I need that scan. Thanks for offering. I will also drop a line if the problem was with that switch. I...

I know this post is old but I wanted to thank everyone for their advice because it really helped. My car is located away from where I live so I can only get there once in awhile so it took me a bit to sort this out. After a few solo attempts I realised I needed a second set of hands so me and a...

Hi Does anyone know if the steering column in a 1966 Riviera is the same as the other Buick or GM models of the same year? I think I have something shorting out in there and its playing havoc with my lights. I only have headlights and one set of signal lights but the signal light indicator on...

Hey thanks roadmouse .....you too Rivman. Thats the kind off input I am looking for:hurray:. It sounds simple but I really want to get this right and now, after what was spoken about on this thread, I am going for a color that I like.

Hey Thanks! Thanks to both of you.:hurray: I was planning to get about 4 different samples from the paint shop. Now I will wait and look around for other colors to check out. Astro Blue will be one of them and ...who knows?...maybe it will be fine. I friend of mine said he made the mistake of...

Hi guys.:bgrin: I just wanted some opinions from you guys reference paint. My 66 Rivs original paint, accorrding to vin, was paint code DD Astro Blue. The color as it is on the inside of the car looks fine but when I see pics on the internet of it I dont like it. I am all for trying to keep the...
