Thanks for the help. Know of any how to thread or build threads where guys were putting floor shifters in?

Hi all, I'm in the process of buying an 80 Malibu wagon (v6, bench seat, not split) and wanted to know how are it is to swap a few parts. The first things I was looking to do was to swap gauges, and mount a floor shifter, and bucket seats. I really like the look of the olds rally gauges, but i...

my '85 3.8 cuts out when I just tip in with the throttle from idle; theres no problem if I floor it, or go half throttle, but anything less, and the motor cuts out, and if I dont back off, and keep the throttle in the same place it will stall. Any thoughts why this happening? Thanks for the help.

How do I (or can I) grease my parking brake cable and the steering components? I see the zerk fittings on the pit man arm and other steering parts. I can just hook a grease gun up and go right? Thanks for all the help.

The first post mentions splicing or adding to the wiring harness. What is involved in that? Is that just to give power to the starter, ingition circuit etc? Also, if I go with a carb'd SBC, will any of the old idot lights on my regal work, if i connect new sending units into my sbc and connect...

How do I get the trim around the headliner out of my 85 Regal? I can see that you unscrew the windsheild pillars, visors and other parts, but the pieces over the doors,and the sail panels just lide back and forth. I know that the clips are delicate, but how do they come out? Do I need to pry...

Nice man! Keep the interior...it adds a lot of character to the car and extra bragging rights when you start turning faster times with that stuff still in it....esp since you still have the wood trim and split bench. Good luck!
