I am looking at taking off my stock front calipers and puting on a set of dual piston calipers for more braking performance. My biggest issue is that I am worried that I wouldnt have enough space if I used my stock 14'' rims. Does anyone no if this is possible or do I need to just get larger...

Thank you so much for answering this question. you have been a huge help.

I am having a problem trying to find information on weather or not there was a metal battery tray on under the battery. or does the battery in a 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix just sit on the plastic fender well on the passenger side. I have a battery tray that I found at the junk yard but I cant for...

Sounds almost as if you have a engine problem of some sort that is causing the engine to not completely burn the fuel/air mixture. The raw fuel that does not burn during the combustion process if making its way to the cadalytic converter and combusting there. If this is the case, and if it is...

could it have anything to do with the thermostat being stuck closed and the water pump over pressurizing the lower radiator hose? Just a thought but sorry I dont have a exact fix for you. Good luck on getting things taken care of. :|

I discovered something like this much later after I bought my grand prix. The previous owner said that his wife had put it in the ditch a year before selling the car. Mine was not quite pinched as bad as yours. But he said that he had changed out the trans 6 months before selling the car, but...

If it worked out for you...I'm sure that it will for me. Great to hear positive reinforcement. thanks again. 8)

Quadra-jet's are sounding better all the time. Now from what I have gathered..Do I buy a quadra-jet new or is it better to get a used one and have it gone thru? I see some on JEGS for just about $300.00 that are remans. I like the idea of someone setting up my carb to work with my whole set-up...

Couple questions: What size should I be looking for in a quadra-jet if I went that route? When I did the carb size calculator on the holley.com website they told me low 500's for street use and low to mid 600's for racing applications. :? I also am not as educated on the sciece and theory of...

Stock rear end gears. I think it is around 2.98 or so. Sorry I dont know the exact ratio. The torque converter was custom built for my engine and gearing for right about 1800 stall.

Hi everyone. I am in the process of doing a bit of rebuilding on a SBC 350 after a engine fire. I am also looking for advice on what carb to go with and what you have had good luck with in your experiences. My edelbrock carb always had issues with hesitation upon sudden wide open throttle. I...

Thank you for your correction about the true term used for the parts that I am looking for. Everyone that I have talked to has a different discription of these parts. This takes the guess work out of things. Thanks agian. :)

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I would have thought the same thing...that they should have been interchangable. What I have been finding so far has been that the monte carlo, cuttlass supreme, and those similar models seem to all bolt up on the underside of the inner fender area..Where...

Hey everyone, I'm new to this online forum thing, but a friend told me that it is an amazing resource for information. I have a 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix LE. It was my first car and I am in the process of rebuilding it after a engine fire. I have had luck finding most parts but I am having a...
