    BUILD THREAD Picked up another one. 82 Regal

    More than likely I'll just save it for a house or a shop. I used money out of my savings for it so I figure it's gotta go back. I did think about using the $3k to buy another car or truck that I could potentially flip for quite a bit more. We will see what comes up for sale around me. I always...

    BUILD THREAD Picked up another one. 82 Regal

    Well this project was short lived. I paid $1500 for the car and got an offer for $3000 12 days later. Not bad for only doing an oil change to it. It was a fun daily driver for that time but it was an offer I couldn't refuse.

    87 Monte Carlo SS aerocoupe -2nd chance-

    Got some updates. The aerocoupe is in one piece and on the road. I have put a few miles on it recently to play with the FiTech. So far so good, I love the FiTech and can't see myself going back. A simple blip of the key and its up and running with no issues. I have a small oil leak at the front...

    Fuse box flashers

    Well I got it fixed. It had the flasher hidden back by the radio like GP403 said. I feel dumb because I have been in a lot of these cars and have yet to see one like that. Thanks for the input.

    Fuse box flashers

    On my 82 Regal my turn signals do not work. No lights come on at all. Every Gbody I have ever looked at has had 2 spots for flashers on the fuse box. One at the top of the box and one at the bottom. This fuse box has the 2 locations but only the top spot has the spades to plug in a flasher. The...

    Rocker arms?

    I can't answer your question as I didn't find any while looking on Summit but why not just use guide plates and forget the self aligning part of it?

    BUILD THREAD Picked up another one. 82 Regal

    I broke my rule of not starting another project while not having the first one finished. A buddy of mine was selling this Regal so I had to buy it. Has a Buick 455, TH400 and a horrible granny rear end. Ironically enough the corvette rallies on it came off my wrecked 83 SS. I sold em, the guy...

    New springs (disappointed)

    You need to drive it a few times. They will settle. Also make sure they were installed correctly. They go in a certain way.

    Spark Plug Wires

    I have the "regular" 8.5 mm MSD wires on the big block. I love the multi angle boots. I melted one boot to the header on cam break in, pulled it off, wrapped it in electrical tape and it was fine. I have since replaced that wire but no other issues here. My dad has had the same wires in his 68...

    Selling My 84

    That thing is clean! I agree with Bar50. Wait until tax time if you can or expect to take a hit.

    I need different BBC 454 headers for my swap. Help?

    I had to lift the engine a little bit then they slid right in. My 2241s I had to left the engine a lot more. Im sure if you had a lift or a way to lift the front of the car very far off the ground you could finagle them in with engine and trans bolted in. I only had a normal jack and couldn't...

    I need different BBC 454 headers for my swap. Help?

    I have used both the 2241s and the 2455s. The 2455 headers dropped in a lot easier but the 2241s leave more space for everything around them. Only reason I swapped my 2455s for 2241s was because I found em on craigslist for $150. I have a buddy with a pair of 2241s for sale. He wants $200 for em...

    Another title question...

    Thanks for the help guys but I think im gonna pass. The dude seems too shady for me. I must not be alone on that because the car has been for sale for 3 weeks.

    Another title question...

    I have a line on a 68 Olds 4-4-2. Its just the body nothing else. Its solid, for sale cheap, fairly close to me and one of my favorite all time cars so I got to thinking.... I contacted the seller and he still has it but has NO TITLE, CAR HAS NO VIN PLATE OR COWL PLATE. Does anyone know if there...

    Technical difficulties lowering my G-Body

    Get the car together and roll it around a bit. Mine lowered quite a bit after I backed it down the driveway a few times.

    Frame Off, What Do I Need To Know?

    6 days is completely doable. Start spraying the bolts down with PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, etc....in hopes of making it a little easier. Since you said you need to repair the rear frame rails I can't imagine every bolt coming out in one piece. When I had bolts break inside the body I took a cut...

    Big block or small block?

    Hooker 2455's are A body not F body headers. I believe 68-72. Those are what I originally ran and they fit pretty good. An easier install than my swap headers.
