PM3 differences - 90 Int'l vs 90 TGP


GOT2B GM

Recommended Posts

One unit with the nut on the accumulator is from a 90 Cutlass International 3.1

 

The other unit with the silver coloured motor is from a 90 TGP. Is the accumulator with no nut on the top an aftermarket unit?

 

What's with the motors being different colours?

 

Also the dust boot around the pushrod that connects the to the brake pedal is different, one is clear , one is black........

GM accumulators have a yellow label and a nut on them. Prior Reman and other aftermarket accumulators are smooth with no labels.

 

FWIW, I have a black bodied PMIII in my TGP and it works great. It is a Prior Reman unit.

Looks like the rest of the unit might have been painted before and not just the motor. Those units that were on ebay(one is on there now) and other rebuilds I've seen had black paint on them. Were you just comparing them out of curiosity or were you working on your car again?

 

EDIT: I think my prior reman accumulator had the word "Hydac" written on it or on a label. Yours definitely looks like one of the prior ones. They have a nut on the rear of them.

Well my cutty needs a new accumulator, and the TGP is not too far behind....figured I'd better start stock piling spare PM3 goodies as the newest PM3 equipped w-body is 18yrs old.

I'm going to start doing the same thing as I like the PMIII and will eventually end up with more PMIII equipped cars.
