The rear trim is long and curved. Also probably 2 to 2.5 wide in the malibu. Dont know what else will fit the malibu.

I always run 10w40. Pull a valve cover off a wiggle the rocker arms. This will tell you which lifters have bleed down. If your nit in a big hurry you can pull that lifter out and let it soak in oil for a few hours. Just make sure it goes back in the same spot. Then readjust the rocker arm.

Im down for 4.

Welcome to the site. I live in sw iowa.

How much for a grille for a 79 malibu?

I just picked up a set for 120 on ebay. They are the poly bushings and hardware. Had them in three days. Going to try and install them this weekend. Poly us better because it wont rot and settle over time.

I got all my super flux leds from ebay. Got the mounting boards from radio shack. Probably will if i get around to it. Been so busy doing body work and the custom interior.

If the heads are still on did you check to see if you had proper valve to piston clearence. If the cam is to big the valves can be hitting the top of the pistons. Otherwise put it on tdc with the chain off and spin the cam to see if its hitting.

So the 3.75 with an 8" rim will be fine.

I have a 79 malibu with 350sbc. It has been lowered 2.5 inches. Frame has not been notched. Will a 15x10 rim with 4.00 backspacing work. Or will a 15x8 rim with 3.75 work better. I want to get as wide of tire as i can while keeping it lowered.

Theres a video on you tube of an elcamino with a cummings.

Almost done. Doing different things. Trying to figure out a full sequential setup.

Re: GBOTM: Congratulations to XCESSIV6 our February '13 Winn Congrats. Love those cars.

I was wondering if anybody has seen or done this. I thought about putting a first gen camaro lower front spoiler on my 79 malibu. Any thoughts or pics would be appreciated.

Nice malibu.
