Wait...what broke? Mirror or windshield? Several thoughts... Also, a novice using a heat source to detach the windshield mirror mount is a BAD idea. The possibility of damaging and/or cost of replacing a windshield as a result is not worth it. Unless, you're hell bent on original parts, just...

Much of what others have contributed is worthy of consideration but before doing any patchwork and repairs, you should also be looking into the cause or source of water that lead to the rust. That would definitely be the very FIRST thing I would do!

If I recall correctly, SC&C did not manufacture any parts themselves; most of the parts for their suspension packages were from different vendors. I have a pro touring package installed on my 87 Elky and will check it to see if there are any labels or markings to identify a manufacturer.

As our classic cars get older, finding replacement parts gets harder and harder. When found, most of the time due to the limited supply, the parts are expensive. That being said, this find is an exception. However, sometimes, there are other options available to solve this dilemma. Below is an...

Basically, the screw threads just need something to bite into...how about wrapping a small cone of electrical tape?

Definitely heat and/or fuel-related! Next time this happens, open the gas cap and listen for a whoosh sound. This would indicate a need to replace the cap. Next, candidate is the insulation under the carb which would contribute to fuel starvation due to fuel-boiling and evaporation.

Question: Is MC a rear or front wheel drive?

A few years ago, I swapped out my 87 frame for one from an 84 due to extensive frame rust. I can't remember if the original 87 had a front sway bar but the 84 did not have one.

Because my 87 was a base model, it had none of the extra suspension parts. This week, I am in the process of installing Hellwig front (55700) and rear (55809) tubular sway bars on my 87 El Camino. The sway bars are the last pieces from my SC&C Pro Touring suspension kit. Prior to deciding to buy...

That article made my head spin! Too much for a simple guy to comprehend.

I replied a while ago and have been searching for this thread to update folks here. I received my replacement dash from OPGI after waiting a few years. If I recall correctly, I had placed an order when it was first offered. I have not installed it while I work on front and rear suspension sway...

Justacruzr2, When dealing with the ECM, there are a boatload of things that make each of them different and unique. The most identifiable are the Service Number (7-8 digits) and broadcast code (BCC) 4 letters that are on a label attached to the case. Both of these pieces of information will...

My first impression to installing this set up is...NYET...wouldn't get it. While the thought of combining muffler and cut off sound-generation in one exhaust component, in the long run, it doesn't make sense due to cost of muffler replacement. Sure, it says Stainless Steel but your exhaust will...

If you're referring to the color, then the color that I had ordered was Claret. If you're referring to the structure, yes that is what you'll get...hopefully sooner rather than later. Due to the cost, you will know when OPGI is ready to ship it to you because they'll send a confirmation email...

My apologies!!! This got posted in the wrong place/site. Trying to multi-task/not paying attention.

ck80, I've been trying to locate this thread in order to respond to your questions about the inner structure. Honestly, I don't know what is inside so will let you decide by posting a few pictures. The first one was a test fit and has a few of the stock pieces installed--gauge pod, radio/AC...

If I remember, the SPAL dual relay kit also included two oval connectors that were a perfect fit for the 2000 Camaro fan setup. To prevent an unexpected road failure of a fan motor, I replaced both efan motors before installation. One other factor to consider using stock parts is being able to...

On my 87 EC, I installed 2000 Camaro efans controlled by SPAL wiring with dual relays. As mentioned earlier in this thread by another owner, I fashioned two metal plates to hold the efan bottom in-place while the upper portion is secured with a stock radiator plate. This installation is probably...

I have read somewhere (can't remember for sure) that a good gap measuring tool is the thickness of a wooden paint stick.
