Here's the deal. The hood on my sedan has actually rusted through right at the spots where the braces contact the underside of the sheetmetal. And trying to find a replacement hood of any sort seems a slim to none chance. Here is my question. On http://www.vfnfiberglass.com , I see a ram-air...

Has anyone made a direct kit for retrofitting shoulder belts into a g-body? I'm looking to try to add 3 point belts to the back of my '83 Cutlass sedan so my 6 year old can legally ride in it. If no kits, has anyone done a custom belt swap, and how did you do it? Any help is greatly appreciated...

Well, picked up my brother in law's '83 Cutty Supreme, which had the 1970 W31 350 Olds swapped in. The car has a belt squeal that won't go away. When he put this engine in the car he had no accesories, so he used all the brackets and such from the old 307. Now it squeals like a b*tch when the...

Does anybody know what the original EPA mileage figures are for their vehicles? I'm curious as the post-'85 cars are listed on the EPA website, however older cars are not listed. Closest thing I could find to mine was a 1981 Pontiac GP with a 265, which was rated at 19/27 but I couldn't find the...

I'm toying with eventually swapping to true dual exhausts on my '81 Century. It's got the 265 Ponti engine with the metric 200. I looked at Summit and they have a dual hump crossmember for a TH350 or a 200-4R. Will either one work with my 200 transmission, or am I stuck with working with the stock...

I'm at a crossroads of sorts. I'm toying with modifying my '81 Century a bit, but I'm finding these cars to be somewhat rare as I cannot find any! Does anyone have any idea how many Century's were produced on the A/G body platform in '81, or even just in general? This is my second '81 Century...

I was remembering a page on the internet years ago about someone with a 1981 Regal with the 350 Olds diesel motor who was actually rebuilding and modifying the diesel engine. I was wondering if anybody out there still had one (not counting the ones that had a gasoline conversion)? Cheers, Aaron

I've noticed recently that my torque converter doesn't seem to lockup once I reach cruising speed. I'm going to try doing a fluid change hopefully this weekend. Anybody have any idea where to start with this? Do the torque converter solenoids go bad after a certain period of time? I drive...

Here's the problem. My wife and I want to take our son (3 years old) for a ride in our Century. The problem is that the booster seat we use for our van clearly states DO NOT use in a car with lap belts only. If only one of us is taking him, he can go in the front (not illegal, but not...

Since I had my photos handy, I thought I'd post a few on here. The black one is my old '84, 229 V6, TH250. I added a Cherry Bomb turbo muffler and an open air cleaner with a K&N and Accel 8.8 universal wires. Eventually I swapped it for a Chevy 350 small block. Unfortunately, this one was...

Here's a couple pics of my newest toy. 114,000 miles, 265 Pontiac V8, 2 barrel, th-200 transmission. Idles as smooth as glass and drives down the road nice and smooth. It's pretty much unmolested and unmodified. A little bit of rust under the trunk lid and bottom of the RR door, but nothing...

Hello all! Just found my way here trying to find some info on my newest ride, a 1981 Buick Century with a 265 Pontiac motor, 113,000 miles, all original. I just purchased it from the second owner who got it about a year ago from the original owner. It's an unmolested original car which I plan to...
