I'm just glad that Ws aren't that hard to work in in the grand schemes. My buddy's firebird is HELL to do anything. No room to get under it, and everything is burried. He pulled the trans, and that was retarded, took him a week or so, cause everything goes down, not up.
where can i find a washer fluid reservoir for my 1994 grand prix
My Regal isn't that hard to work on, the motor is kind of crammed into the engine tho.
Try working on a transit style school bus and then you'll appreciate how easy regular cars are to work on.

all in all, I think most everything on the Gen 2 60 deg V6's is pretty easy to get to except for the coil packs. However, the LQ1's look like a real bitch to work on!

I got a replacement (NO maintenance) that was bigger/stronger. Yes it was bigger...in size too, so I had to remove the AF box to get the battery in, a larger batt does fit in the tray. The darn thing will not 'drop in' must be twisted from the side. The Mgr at Advance gave me $5 off because they would not do the free install on the Cutlass.

Why not turn this into a thread of "WTF were they thinking" complaints/oddities we notice over the years.

WTF Was GM thinking installing rear drum brakes? And ones with the horseshoe spring at that

I'm still wondering why my coil packs are being cooked so close to the exhaust manifold...
this IS a General Motors product and the general rule is that nothing should make actual sense.This message was sent from my 2012 Cadillac CTSwho knew a pansy-ass 2.8L V6 would sound so glorious
Get one that mounts on the pass side strut tower. I'm sure you could find one at the junkyard. Any 3X00 would work. 96+ DOHCs might even have them.I'm still wondering why my coil packs are being cooked so close to the exhaust manifold...
