What are your wheel/tire sizes? I've got a Cutlass that I'm about to paint that same color. Thanks

Yes, she did! Didn't even give me a chance.

I almost cried when my sister-in-law told me this sold at auction last Saturday. Pristine with 32k original miles. Unmolested in any way. Sold for $5,800!

I was shocked! It still had the original donut spare and jack mounted in the trunk. I bought it as a donor for the '82 Monte I built for my son 3 years ago (rust issues). He's pretty excited. Going to paint it '86 442 Dark Teal Blue Metallic with a dark gold along the bottom (plus the...

I feel really lucky... I bought this unmolested '85 with 121k miles in October for $1,000. Belonged to an elderly lady. Had to invest $235 on a reman dualjet, but it runs good. Interior is in really good shape with no cracks in the dash.

Everything is getting a a full 12 volts. And using a test light on all the ground connections for the heat, ac, gauges.. they are getting a hot feedback through them too.

No, the gauges are all OEM. Any chance that taking out the ecu took out a necessary ground link? Everything seems to be running high voltage, even the heater system..

I hate for my first help request to have an urgency associated with it, but I'm in a pinch. So here goes: When I recently installed a crate 350 in my 82 MC, I used an eddy 1406 and a new hei with vacuum advance. I did an ecu delete. The voltage going to my gauges (oil pressure, fuel gauge...

Just got my son's 82 Monte roadworthy after being parked for 7 yrs by the previous owner.. New Goodwrench 350 and rebuilt TH350.
