Shammoo update

I just used this link to solve the ranson that photobucket wants users to pay to allow posting into forums.

Please let me know if you can see my pics again in this thread. Thanks

I can see them.

Dropped off the car moments ago to get the Speedo operating again. Replacing parts didn't work.

Smoked headlights suck at night. Several things on the replace and/or repair.
Replacing the Vehicle speed sensor coming off the 4L60 tranny. Not getting a pulse feed to the speedometer or the ECM. It came in today from Rock Auto, but thunderstorms are keeping me inside tonight.

I used our Rock Auto forum discount to save a few bucks.

There is a controller under the dash that separates the input from the VSS into a 4000 ppm to the speedo and CC and 2000 ppm signal to the computer (if the gear ratio is correct). If you disconnect the one for the computer the other signal goes up about 10%.

Yes, the buffer attached to the left of the flasher relay box. Both the sensor, buffer, and pigtails have all been replaced, Neither the speedometer nor the ECM is receiving a signal from the buffer.

AS the 2018 season opens, Shammoo has been sitting in a neighbors driveway. It has blown head gaskets, as evidenced by the ballooning radiator hoses and positive exhaust gas tests in the coolant system.

It has been snowing around here, Snow on the Track at Watkins Glen last week for Opening weekend, ans yesterdy, for the AER races (American Endurance Racing series) MY son and I intended to be pit crew members, But only he made it.

I have been under attack of a stomach virus. I have never had such severe dry heaves , so violent and long. and so dizzy for 60 hours. Sneezing rips me apart at the moment. So I have no energy for engine teardowns, nor much of anything else.

Hang in there Dave,the sheep need ewe.

Your friends wish you well, and a speedy recovery.

Jesus Dave... 15 years later and this thing is still giving you a headache?? I thought for sure Shammoo was going to be running the streets by now!

Slowly changing head gaskets. Distributor semms to ride high on cam gear, as evidenced by wear pattern on end of gear.

For some unknown reason, it looks like photobucket is allowing my past photos to be displayed again. Since I have not been around. I dont know.


After Much consideration, it is likely that I will be putting Shammoo up for sale. I just no longer have the interest in it that I once had.

I have not completed putting the top end back together after changing head gaskets in Fall of. in 2017.

I will sell one of two ways.

AS IS with LOTS of spare parts for $4000. You can trailer it home.

RUNNING $5.000 When I get it fully repaired

I will not budge on either figure. Nor will I conduct further business about it on this forum.

All questions can be sent to me via email at: lakeffect@gmail.com

Shammoo has been sold to another forum member Adam Szluga of Rochester NY.

My best wishes to all my freinds here at the forum.

My involvement has come to an end.

Time to open a new chapter - glad your wagon project will live on with someone else. I know the feeling.

I am glad it stayed in the family.

Hi Andy

Don't know if you crossed paths with Adam, but he has been to several WF's. He has a hearse that he brings. I'll never forget we were down at the park, when Adam arrives with the hearse. At the same time there were some seniors there who were taking a walk. They were really concerned when they saw it.

I believe he once owned my 95 Caprice.

I believe you are correct.
