    Gbody brake Guru's needed

    It'll be '78/'79 (vender depending) to '81 then '82 to '88 on the boosters. This is because of the change in the master cylinder to match the change with the calipers. The master cylinders will be iron for '81 & earlier, aluminum for '82 & newer.

    The cost-benefit to owning cars??

    As it is in this household it is cheaper than the two modern rides. Then have two older cars that share 75%-90% of their parts makes it even cheaper with what spares that have been collected over the years. This was one of the reasons for Jr. getting his '79 dispite how certain parts specific to...

    Tires sizes recommended for Malibu

    A 235/70 is too tall. An alternitive for the rear is 215/65 as this was the stock 15" size on "performance" models. I'd be honest with my opinion I'd run all four corners with 15" wheels.

    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2023]

    I remember when they were just better than a Yugo but the '07 Santa Fe we had for 12 years changed my mind. Only issues was those self wearing fuel tank senders I had to replace but they had access ports on the floor for that & the front sub frame starting to rot at the driver front mount. Her...

    Hellwig FX Frame Kit installation experience?

    Don't forget the disclaimer that "This Kit Fits Only 82-86 G-Body FRAME". Surprised it didn't list "don't fit Cutlass Supreme."

    Speaker wiring clip

    That'll be a salvage clip. No one outside of GM's venders made them.

    What did you do to your G-Body today 2024

    Dug out the '81 Fisher manual & it calls for 1/4" (6mm) bead of butyl or equivalent around the perimeter of glass inboard of the retaining studs. No product or p/n listed. But to ensure it all seats they list tightening the retaining nuts to 30 to 40 in-lbs (3.2 to 4.6 Nm). I do remember the...

    Dye Questions

    It would be a good idea to get a list of who does have mixing systems for interior parts & to what degree of materials that can be recolored. This would be SEM, PPG's One Choice & Axalta (formerly DuPont) so far as sources & should be able to supply formula numbers crossed with OE codes.

    2025 ElCamino/ElCamino SS ??

    The Jr. Mechanic says oh heck no & they shouldn't try if it was real. I say it's like pissing on a grave. Thankfully it's just a pipe dream of a bad idea.

    Factory black 86-88 Gbody belt

    That's an odd find. Never seen anything for black after '80. Possible "universal" service replacment to any color interior dispite all paint to match parts seemed to of been dark blue for our cars.
