Interesting find, at least for me. Some of you may have already known this, but I never did. When I've replaced starters or worked on them for my own cars, I would get new starter (Delcos came with solenoids already attached) and bolt it up. Easy peasy. I was contemplating on rebuilding my...

While it looks pretty and consistent, it still doesn't look "black" the way GM did it. I'm not even sure what sort of paint they used, but for some stupid reason a lot of these semi-gloss products come out with more of a charcoal look than black. Could be a digital picture color imbalance on my...

Don't worry too much about going with garbage can diameter fuel line just yet. Work with what you have. Find and SOLVE the issue before throwing money and parts at it. I mean, even as well-intentioned as it is, we here still act like a government- spending other people's money. :) If you find...

So has a lot of people. Problem is, nobody's doing much as far as quality replacement. Most of what becomes available is ill-fitting, hot garbage.

Yeah, I've seen that before. Unfortunately, it's incorrect for my needs. There's no hose with that size/date code on my car. If I wanted incorrect dates and fonts for the 85, I'd have bought some of that. Too bad they didn't have a way to custom build your own info on them. As it were, the car...

Yes. Rivet must be removed, then reinstall a new rivet when reassembling. The rivet pulls it tight up against the trunklid effectively smooshing (technical term) the gasket in between. A good time to clean up old wax and ingrained dirt around the trunk lock gasket area (your car's bellybutton...

Not that I know of. These cars are getting so old that even the reproduction parts are getting discontinued. The point is, the things need to sell and keep selling to make a part worth keeping in stock. Since nobody bought a lot of these lately, I assume, then apparently even the aftermarket...

Depends... Hi Compression? Lo Compression? Both previous mentions are good starters. No doubt. The Robbmc's are cool in the fact that the starter is pretty much the same, but the nose mounting "plates" can be swapped out if you use it on something else. And they're not super-expensive...

Seems straight. I think the only NOS parts I could help you with for a Chevelle is some 1.25" Dill valve stems. It's going to be a slog, but I'm thinking it'll be a nice ride once done.

Did you try "back puffing" the line with air while the tank was out? Might be something (a little rust build up) partially clogging the metal line along the frame? If you have a portable air tank or small compressor, it makes it super easy to do. Worth a try. It's free and costs you nothing...

40 miles. That's an approximate measurement of the total length of the spaghetti under the hood. Ok, maybe not. Most of it's 5/32. Some 7/32. But not much of the 7/32. Interesting that the vacuum tank on the driver fender has about a 5" piece going to a Tee. 5/32 on tank side, 5/32 on line...

It's all painted, so it may be hard to read, but the front of the axle tube on passenger side will have a stamped code on it. Once deciphered, that code tells you exactly where the rear end came from and what ratio it left the factory with and whether it was a posi or not. G-body 8.5" posi...

Here's one, about 90 bucks plus tax. 25524794 is the supersession number. Get 'em while they're available. https://www.ebay.com/itm/355678937362?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335822911&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Chime weak? Can't hardly hear it? It's likely the foam around the sound "speaker" disc has deteriorated. You can try fixing it. https://gbodyforum.com/threads/restoring-chime-sound.84777/ New chimes are SUPER hard to find. Find them roughly in the $100 range when you do finde one, give or...

SECOND ON THESE!! I was just going to post about the DeWalt goggles. Not very expensive either, but they work well. If you're sweatin' heavy, they still will fog some, but not as bad as others I've worn. Got a feeling they all will fog to some degree if you're the sweaty type. I didn't...

Very clean and straight! Participation awards for all!......oh, wait.

My point was even though you can always find fault in others, it's not always prudent to point that out to them. Because doing that is basically a huge waste of time, IMO. If they're receptive to unsolicited feedback, that's one thing, but usually ambushing people with strong, critical opinions...

rubberstamps.net They'll make about anything you want. Amazingly quick, too. Ordered Monday morning, got them yesterday. USPS must've messed up and actually scanned and moved everything when they were supposed to.

I don't mind a good internet spat every now and again. I've had a few myself. They happen. But I've also learned that nothing good ever comes of it except someone eats a lot of popcorn watching it all unfold. Best advice I can muster: If you're an adult, then act like an adult while engaging...
