    Grand prix 2+2 rear window. Does this look right?

    Clean 84, 85 I do not own the car posted for sale, but it is in ontario. I do own another(in the family since `88) which seems different in the rear. I am familiar with how they were slapped together to make production numbers for nascar(same idea as the daytonas, far less desirable) My question...

    Grand prix 2+2 rear window. Does this look right?

    565BBCHEVY, I feel like you may be onto something there. When i first started driving my GP back in around 2005, I had a buddy whose step father had a 78 trans am. He often refered to my GP as that monte carlo wanna-be with the stupid bubble back window. I always assumed he was jealous of my...

    Grand prix 2+2 rear window. Does this look right?

    Hello all. I have not posted on here for quite some time, however I still do creep the forum every now and then. I m 25 and have owned my aerocoupe for 10 years now. Like most 25+ year old cars with upwards of 350 000 kms on it, it is a bit of a crap shoot. The car looks beautiful and turns...

    700 R4 questions

    There is a guy at my work with a mustang and he put a 350 chevy with a 700 r4 in it. The car is apparently too far gone for him to want to keep it and he cant seem to get rid of it. He says he's going to crush it next week. The transmission has apparently been rebuilt by him a few years ago...

    rear end clanging

    So recently some funky crack pop and clang noises have been coming from the rear of my car. Replacing u-joints today I nearly positive thats the crack/pop noise. As for the clang, it seems to be coming from the rear itself. If I grab the rear tire(either one) and push/pull on it in and out i get...

    What was your 1st car? & and 1st G-Body?

    I've been blessed to be the son of a very talented father when it comes to cars. Technically, my first car was going to be a 69 Buick skylark (GS clone) convertible. Red on red with a black rag and a 455 to boot.(not original to the car) We picked it up when I was 14 and slowly put a lot of love...

    Dual exhaust with long tubes???

    I'm running the stock crossmember with the notch in it. I had planned on cutting the notch out with an air cutting tool and welding a piece back in, but a good friend of mine (with lots of tools) insisted it was easier than that. I took it to his garage and he showed off how well his plasma...

    GP 2+2 owners

    It wasn't there from the factory but your car, like mine, probably leaks somewhere between that seam because their is what feels like a foam piece in between the package tray and the rail and mine has dried out and it is a PITA trying to trace that leak. I think the proper way to fix the leak...

    TV cable bracket

    See now the guy on the phone where I ordered from claimed the 8031 would not work for me and the 8036 would solve it. I'm starting to wonder if he got it right or not....I hate being sold the wrong parts! Is the geometry corrector/ any pics? So you're saying these are two separate items that...

    TV cable bracket

    After a quick phone call, I am told the 8036 will work for me. Anyone else have a similar setup? Stuck on the subject because I had to modify the last bracket I was sold for my 700R, and I'm thinking that may have scewed the geometry which in turn fried the trans. :o Not happening again!

    TV cable bracket

    I have part numbers here (8031, 8036, or 8030) for 1972-1978 smallblocks off the documentation for my carb. My motor was intended for pre-79 applications. it continues... "Other applications may require modification to the original bracket" How do I know which specific one I need? I've had no...

    TV cable bracket

    I'm putting my 200-R back in my car tomorrow, and after looking at the old quadrajet bracket, it looks like it will work. Is the bracket specific to the trans or to the carb? I'm just curious if it will give me any problems as I'm using an edelbrock aluminum intake with an edelbrock 650. I have...

    transmission 1st & 2nd no 3rd or O/D

    Yea, looks like the trans will be dropped....was just holding onto that hope mabe something odd-ball but simple. My torque converter is on its way out for sure. When I had the kickdown set up months ago the boys at the shop told me my torque converter was getting tight and thats what was...

    transmission 1st & 2nd no 3rd or O/D

    Re-adjusted the tv cable with no success in solving my problem. I even disconnected it all together, still same behavior. It will rev till about 3000rpm in second gear, (around 60kmph) then stops pulling and starts slipping like theirs no tomorrow. Could the modulator possibly have a roll in...

    This Kinda Gets Me

    I get it alllll the time. I was talking to a guy at work and he was telling me how nice his car was and i mentioned that my car wasnt too bad either. He asked what it was and i say its an 86 grand prix and hes literally laughing at me telling me how crappy my car is before he even sees it. So...

    transmission 1st & 2nd no 3rd or O/D

    Thanks a million 79GP! That second one actually makes it seem quite simple. I let the car sit for a day before trying it again and the problem persists. It is definitely 1st and 2nd that I have because it will start to rev before it would even get to 50 cruising. I know exactly when it usually...

    transmission 1st & 2nd no 3rd or O/D

    Fluid is where it should be and smells alright. I'm tempted to goto a transmission shop and see if they can figure it out.....but I don't want a large bill. I have a 200R4 that was in the car before the 700R4, it was just going through fluid.(uncle blew the original transmission years ago, he got this one...
