54 Cavalier wipers
#1
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away

Tommy Baccaro
One of my wiper blades is beginning to make a mark on the windshield. What is a source for replacement? Don't get caught in the rain often but it does happen, and I do have working washers. I can't tell if they are ansco or trico but they are 12 inches long. Does brand matter and where is a good source? Prefer not just the blade replacement but the holder as well.

54 Cavalier brake light switch

Our recently acquired 54 Cavalier has recently lost its brake lights. Does it take the same 2 prong switch as the 21st and 22nd series? Also, is it accessible from under the hood as the older cars or do you access it from underneath? I cannot see it from under the hood. Thanks, Tommy

Thanks for going to the trouble but ours does have p/s and thus it is a different belt.

It would help if someone could give me the number off the belt currently working properly on their 327 with p/s. I think the current one, carquest 7417xl/gates 11a1055 is slightly too large.

Thanks so much! I did not test it but just took it out of the box and polarized as per the directions. Might figure how to do that but I think regardless the current belt is not tight enough.

1954 Cavalier generator fan belt
#7
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away

Tommy Baccaro
We recently acquired a 54 Cavalier and have experienced charging issues. It will only charge up to 6.2 volts even after new vr and generator installed. Our latest idea is the belt. The current belt has these numbers, Carquest 7417xl and also has the Gates number 11A1055. It seems the tension is a little light and will not adjust any tighter. Does anyone have a number for a little smaller belt that works on a 54 327?Thanks

Don't have a heat gun but maybe a hair dryer might work.

kingpins 54 Cavalier
#10

Just can't stay away

Tommy Baccaro
The Kingpins on our new to us 54 Cavalier are noisy. I had that problem with a 47 and fresh grease solved the problem. Using my pneumatic grease gun, I could not get them to take the grease. I guess it has been so long since it was greased that the grease got hard and is blocking fresh lubricant. Was wondering if I could use carb cleaner and then try again? If it still won't take fresh grease. what size do I look for in new fittings? I realize the kingpins may be bad but I want to get fresh grease in them before throwing in the towel.
