What I am doing with fuel injection is running an external electric fuel pump, a three pipe sender, using the "vent line" that originally ran to the vapor canister as the return line. I then used the third pipe on the sender for a vent with a mount above the trailing arm mount next to the body...

I do a lot of Ebay shipments and have sold a few things on here, one thing I always try to do is use USPS online postage and at home pick up. On Ebay it immediately issuers a tracking number to the buyer but it is not scheduled to be picked up from my house for a few more days. This gives you...

^^^^^^^ Very well put, and I agree the lower mount is what the real flaw in these frames. As you launch the rotational force of the rear end wants to drive the lower arm forward in the car and it will move easily,that is why the box kit you can buy focuses on giving the mount support on the...

That is it, sorry I thought I posted that as well, I always like the unwelded kits as the fit to the frame when they weld it into an assembley is not the best, mock them up on the car tack the pieces together then fully weld it and then weld it to the frame

I have those on my car, and I will say they fit nice and will probably help with the flex and twist these frames suffer from but IMO they will not stop you from ripping off the mounts on the lower arms. That can happen easily in these cars. You need to at least gusset the lower mount to the...

The only things that can make a motor fire in the intake are valves open when they shouldn't be, rockers set to tight, bent/stuck valves or the firing order is off either by the dist being way out of wack or the wires on in the wrong order making a plug fire when the intake valve is open

I agree with the above post, UMI has a frame mounted sway bar kit like the picture. But to your original question I went with the rod end style double adjustable upper and lowers from UMI, and I have to say other than the fact they use junk powder coat like everybody does these days (I...

Before I broke down and invested in a vacuum bleeder I would gravity bleed them too, I would take the cap off when the bleeders were open and fill it and put the cap back on BEFORE I touched the pedal. You may have to "shock" the prop valve if you got a good drip from the rear but not the front...

I do not post the stuff I do on here often but this one might give some of you guys aheads up, while I was rebuilding the rear for my Cutlass I ran into a poorly made bearing race as you can see in the photo. Now I have done hundreds if not thousands of rear ends and I have never had this happen...

When I did mine I was going to paint it and the inside of the car and the underside all at the same time as well as the frame (I did not like the gloss black I had originally painted it) the butyl that is mentioned is ok to use and is close to what the factory used but in my opinion a quality...

What rear disc brake conversion did you use,...?,.... Does it seem like a decent kit,....?

Here in NY it is cheaper to change to 134 than it is to refill with 12, you need to put adapters on the fill ports, the office tube should also be changed. On cars of this age the o-rings should all be changed, they are for the most part easy to get to, it's also advised to flush the lines and...

I can tell you at first I was going to replace mine and I contacted Kee Top and they do not make one for these cars, I sent the guy (who was an *******) pictures of my top and he told me they can match the stitching on the seams and send bulk material to make it work. I worked in a garage for...

That says it all for me as well, and I was also a senior in 98' and had a butternut yellow Monte, the first car I can remember riding in was a Blue on Blue Grand Prix my parents had, and my grandfather had a white Malibu wagon. So I always notice these era cars when I see them, I take a ton of...

I thought about deleting the whole HVAC system as well, however I decided to change to heat only, you should think about it as well you don't live far from me and when you think about it we have many nights and mornings when you need defrost. The A/C system is very ugly on these cars and is for...
