Haven't been on here in awhile, but just finishing up my 78' Monte Carlo. The power window on the passenger side rolls down very fast and goes up a lot slower, to the point where it won't go up the last 1 inch or so. If you open the door it goes up all the way. So that has me thinking the new...
So I have been vacant for years on here, but I am trying to finish my other G body now. 1978 Monye and i removed the rear window trimyears ago. Don't know how the lower chrome strip fastens. Is there clips? where do they install? I did convert this car from half vinyl top to no Vinyl top, I...
So I am going through the bugs on this 1986 442 I bought a couple months ago. The power window on the driver's side works, but the passenger side does not. Not from the master switch or the passenger side switch. The motor is new and it works. I have 12V power to the switch and the motor. I...
So, I have had some people ask me why I never did a build thread on the 81' Safriwagon. Mainly because I am too lazy to post some pics. So we will see how this thread goes......
So I ended up winning a bid on a NOS quarter for my Monte on ebay. I am checking with shippers, but I thought if someone on the forum was close to the northern area of Grand rapids, maybe we could work out a deal for you to pick up the item for me and ship it Greyhound express. If anyone is...
So I am working on the 78' Monte I have and when I got the car the A/C was off but all there in a box. Anybody have a diagram of how the bracketry, power steering pump, and A/C compressor go on? It's way confusing at the moment. :lol:
I have a 78' Monte that I have picked up a low mileage 350 + .060 over short block. Running the numbers it's a 1980-84 block. It is a factory reman. type engine with cast dish top pistons and I am sure a stock type cam. I have some 062 casting vortec heads to install on it. I thought I might...
So when I swapped over the buick V6 to the Pontiac 400 i may have messed up some of the wiring. Car starts and runs fine, but my alternator does not charge the system. I only had the one brown little wire going to it. I believe I should have about a 10 gauge red wire going to the screw on the...
This was the second time I've bought parts from Kevin. Both times well packaged and shipment got out quickly. He really goes the extra mile for the U.S. buyer and works with you on shipping. Shipping prices were very good, especially considering this stuff comes from Canada. I expected a...
Just picked up 1978 Grand am (thanks Grandamman!) Since I nevr did a build thread on my wagon I thought I would do one on this. Wagon still not done yet though! :oops: This is to be my son's car. I would like him to start learning to drive in it. He will have a learner's permit this August...
Guy on ebay sells them for pontiac D-port engines. Username Cashnubby. Price I was quoted was $500, pretty reasonable since the other ones I've heard about were $750. Wish they were in my budget!
So I just picked up a Pontiac 455. Local craigslist find. Suppose to have come out of a 71 Grandville. Complete disassembled motor minus pistons and rods. He said they were junk? No spun bearings on the block or crank though. Heads are #66. Are these scrap iron? Come up as 71 330 horse...
Anybody figure out how to remove the lock, still salvaging the glove box door? I don't have the key for it. I guess there is a little hole you stick a pin in and turn the key to release it, But I don't have the key. Any ideas?
Today I removed the old A/C heater box and installed a factory NON-A/C heater box. There are 3 wires to the blower motor. Orange, Yellow, Light Blue. It seems it has 3 speeds as well........Low, Med, High. It looks like looking at the control panel off should be in the middle....High to the...
