Be careful! They need a little play when closing with the glass up so they don't shatter. Don't make them too tight! You shouldn't have any rattles from the glass because the weatherstrip should cushion any movement. There is a clip on the "A" pillar that sometimes rattles the glass. Try some...

Just put one of these on my 78 elky..... http://www.craftecinc.com/

You could probably set it in there with silicone. Just be sure to allow enough time for it to cure. You might have to shim the molding to get it flush with the body.

Here's a link to the decals... http://www.phoenixgraphix.com/gm/8587olds.htm

Yeah same thing.

I thought we talked about this before? We were waiting on some pics so we could describe the fix. Could be the hinges are worn, could be the door was never aligned properly when installed or could be the cowl is twisted since the fender and door were both replaced. Take some good pics and we can...

I agree. I'm not sure either.

Seems to be the same company......read down through this thread. http://elcaminocentral.com/ftopict-21290.html

I think they were called choo choo customs way back when and are the ones that made the choo choo 5th gen's

Hey I'm feelin' a litlle stoopud right about now! LOL:) Do you mean electric fans mounted in front of the condenser pushing air into the engine compartment or an electric fan mounted on the radiator after removing the belt driven fan? 3rd gen's of what?

My wife likes the elky alot. Its a 78 with a 350 4bbl, th350 and posi rear, flowmasters on true duals and kinda loud. Put some vette rally wheels on too. Funny how she gets home from work 15 minutes earlier with the elky than with her 99 tahoe! :)

My 78 elky only has 13 characters in the VIN. My 87 GP has 17. Not sure but I think it changed along with the A to G body designation.

This has to be the dumbest thing I ever heard. Yesterday I went to a local small engine repair shop to get a piece of roller chain for a sweeper atttachment for my tractor. I had my el camino parked out front and was inside waiting for the guy to cut a piece of chain to size when one of the...

Why? Usually gov't gets harder to deal with not easier! LOL! :lol:

Why no more emissions testing? Are they too old for the test or did they stop testing all vehicles?

Check the wiring. Is there power going into the dist? Did you pinch or break a wire along the way? Sounds like something is grounded that shouldn't be. Is there a kill switch somewhere that went bad? Any other alarm?

You missed one. There are 4 different 2 dr doors. Those you mentioned and 2 dr malibu, el camino, caballero, grand am, and lemans are the same.

Somebody probably had it already. I just tried HWY@2EL at nys.dmv and its available here in NY. The "@" is for the state image that replaces the hyphen here in NY on the Empire Plates.

Yeah how true! Yesterday I was driving my 78 elky which has "vintage" plates. I came over a hill on a parkway and a county police car was in front of me in the right lane. I slowed a bit so not to climb up on him but I could see him looking at my elky in his rearview mirror. He then moved over...
