I am going the stocker route with my Regal, and I want some real meat in the back. I am looking at 15x10's in the back and 15x8's in front. What kind of back spacing should I be lookin for in the back?
You could also try heating up the bolt and mainly around the block where it is installed with a torch, if you had one. It is definitely seized now and might consider lifting the car in the air a bit to get better access a well. Have you tried tightening it back down? You might be able to loosen...
Don't really know how to go about checking compression. Will try another grounding strap as well. Still don't have a good idea on why my plugs looked so black from just turning the car over.
Ok, back to finally getting under the hood again. Pulled the plugs and this is what I found after ZERO miles. How the hell could they get so dirty already? These were the Bosch Platinum 2+ that were supposed to work in the car. Went with the standard Autolites coppers for $2. Still did not work...

I am Ryan and new member to the site. Bought my first gbody 87 Regal NA v6 in December 2010. Started thinking (when I bought the car) I wanted to build a turbo Regal. That dream has now died with this car and now I WILL perform an LS engine swap instead. Car is not currently running right now...
