    Factory replacement identification labels

    Very clean for just playing around. Foil sticker base backer available? I found a guy, he made me some, even used the date I wanted and swapped in the part number for an LS6 and LS7. I will get some measurements.

    Do you have a source for replicating the valve cover decal that is my avatar or signature?

    I apologize about asking if anyone would rent a G-body. No offense intended.

    I want to apologize to the G-body community for daring to ask about renting one. I would never have imagined the negative response.

    Seen some old cars on Turo.com and it seems like an air b&b for cars.

    B&M shift cable to factory shifter

    There used to be a local place (called Humprey Connector) that made and repaired cables, they would custom build one for just such the occasion. The also repaired and fabricated steering, shifter and throttle cables for boats, aircraft, and all sorts of things. Something like that would be my...

    I figured it was worth a shot. Wedding in Newnan, GA 3/24-3/26. I would rather rent and drive a cool old car than a new one.

    Narrowed rear end, how much narrow?

    This is easier to answer if you already have the wheels picked out? Stock width will work with 15x10 (in a Malibu) with the frame notched to the seam. That will work with a 10 inch wheel with 5.5 backspace. The seam is even with the factory inner wheel tub on Malibus and most G-body coupes...

    Need advice and ideas on exhaust fumes!

    What headers? 2241 or 2455? Windows up? Windows down? Heat or a/c? How does the exhaust exit the body?

    Front Spring Install Methods / Moog 5658

    Through the shock hole works the best in my opinion. Other things help, like having the vehicle high enough on big jack stands. No headers, they keep the lower a-arm from swinging down enough. Having some friends on scene to help or call 911 when or if it gets out of hand. Another thing to...

    7.5 rebuild questions

    For what it's worth, is the reading you are getting with the set-up paint or dry? Have you measured or matched the set-up depth that should have been etched into the back of your pinion gear? You mention you saved your original pinion bearing, did you have someone or did you hone out the...

    What did you do at work today?

    Let's see, shopping for groceries for the day and a guy clutches his chest and slumps.... go out to the rig, grab our stuff, wire him for sound, plumb in some fluids and meds, tune him up, on the way to carting him to the ambulance.... another customer points and asks "What about her?" a young...
