    previous owner repairs and maintenance....

    Did some work on my car, had to pull the PS exhaust manifold. There was no gasket. Yeah, that sounds legit. I was shocked cause it didn't have a noticeable leak. They also used about a whole tube of red RTV to seal the connection from the I-pipe to the cat. Oil pressure sender was cracked, so...

    pics of my 1/2 lowered sedan

    85 Sedan with the 231 V6/200c. I used Moog 5658 springs on the front, with 1-1/4 coils cut off. I haven't changed the rear springs yet, that'll come sooner or later. Just wanted to post this, cause I couldn't find any pics of G-bodies lowered on cut down Moog springs. I read a bunch of posts...

    need some tips - engine running ROUGH all of a sudden

    My engine was running smooth as butter. But i had to replace the valve cover gaskets. After doing that, I degreased the engine. I removed everything from the intake manifold, and took the rest of the emissions equipment off too, so I could get to the actual engine to clean it. After I finished...

    I'm from Birmingham, AL, and live in Fort Polk, Lousiana currently. Back home, and down here, the only talk shows on the radio, are borderline extremist right-wing republican conservative shows, or christian (mostly southern baptist) shows. I was just wondering if other parts of the country...

    Basically, I put an old billing address in (during checkout) a couple times, (i move frequently) and got locked out. After updating the info with my bank, Rockauto still couldnt (or wouldnt) do anything to help. When talking to a phone rep, he told me, all they know how to do is check order...

    L.A.X-RATED - A+ seller

    L.A.X-RATED sold me some hard to find parts for Gbody sedans, for a great deal. They were shipped immediately and I was provided tracking numbers and all that jazz. The parts were packed up real tight, with thick cardboard, with all the necessary hardware and other small parts. Even the fragile...

    got a new addition on New Years Day

    Friday afternoon I left on a 3 day adventure, by myself, to go to my parents house and trailer my Cutlass to my new home. The trip was riddled with problems of all sorts (like losing the keys to the Cutlass), and was downright scary at times with the 35mph crosswinds in my big SUV. Got back...

    Does anyone on here have a car that is completely stock, engine/emission-wise..........that still runs, drives, and behaves like it did when it was brand new? Seems the majority of people on here have cars that have been modified, like removing emissions equipment, or getting rid of the CCC...

    I finally started doing some upkeep on this 85 Cutlass, and just about every plastic part on the car is falling apart......like actually crumbling apart.
