My 84 was converted to 134a and now does not work anymore. It actually never worked well with the 134a anyway.
I will have to change the Evap Valve now. It's located in the console and looks a bit involved.
R-12 is still available, albeit expensive. But, it cools better and is what our systems are designed for.
Are you really sure you want to change it out?

This was a common problem on Chevy PickUps. It is possibly the module in the distributor. Cheap easy fix to try.

Jim:
Thanks for your help. When I isolate the problem, I will report back.
If anyone else has any ideas, I am all ears.

Having trouble with the lock assembly going into position to remove the key.
Do these cars have a Park Lock Cable like in the diagram?
It appears I should open the shifter console first ???

Do these Avanti's use this type of set-up?

Interesting problem - When I bought this Blake Avanti, I had trouble getting the key out of the Ignition. You had to play with the floor gear selector to get it to release the key.
Now, I seldom get the key to release. If I can, it is after entering a pitched driveway.
I tried adjusting the shift linkage with no improvement. I hate to tear into the steering column with no experience.
Could this also be a broken rear motor mount?
Anyone have any experiences with the GM Steering Columns?
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

I was changing the thermostat on my stock 1984 Avanti 305 (it was stuck open). Given the age of the plastics, I broke the Ported Vacuum Switch on the thermostat housing and found a replacement:
Napa 2-29031 shown in the photo below.
I hope this information may be saved to help someone down the line.

Thanks for the reply.
This answers a lot of questions.
Good to see other people lurking around here

Thanks for reply. It's nice to see the forum active.
This explains why these wheels are not common. I will say, that the Avanti Emblem is not a sticker, but a plastic insert that they must have made for these cars.
I love the way these wheels look on the car.
Anyone else have these wheels?
