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...

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...

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...

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...

Okay, so I'm pretty scared right now. Just coming home from work, I'm on the highway and go to pass a car that is merging, put it to the floor maybe halfway - 3/4. transmission shifts down, revs up, and wont go back into O/D when i let off, Then shifts down to second. (slipping like crazy now) My exit...

The power locks in my car have been blowing the fuse for much longer than I've owned the car. I'm assuming its a dead short, and rather than look for it I'd rather re-wire the whole circuit. Anybody have the diagram or location of the wires I need? I was going to just start pulling wires but I...

Hello, I have found a 3.73 positraction rear-end in a 1987 camaro and $500 takes the whole car. I'm interested in putting 3.73s in my grand prix to replace the 3.08s that are in there now. Will this rear bolt right into my car? I remember reading a thread somewhere that I beleive said there...

I've noticed an exhaust leak, but it hasn't been my top priority since i was having several problems getting the car running properly. Now however, shes running quite respectably and for the very first season of driving it, I have been enjoying the h*ll out of it. So that means now the little...

What in the heck could be causing it? My GP has given me nothing but problems this year. There have been extensive fuel issues. After cleaning out the tank, replacing all lines, new pump, rebuilt carb, it still loves to stall. The carb seems to be getting way too hot and its boiling the...

I have this http://www.crateenginedepot.com/store/3 ... 24C53.aspx or if that link wont work Gmpartsdirect.com part number 12499529 GM crate motor in my grand prix, and it seems impossible to get this thing running right. Its got an edlebrock performer aluminum intake and a holly 600cfm carb on...

is it true if you spray ether through your pcv valve and your engine revs up that you have an intake leak? I did this test today and my motor reved up, but an onlooker threw in his 2 cents of "of course its gunna make it rev up, thats a vacuum" So is this test accurate in telling me theirs a...

Hey guys, I've finally got 1000k on the new motor. I'm going to change the oil in a day or two. Other thank that how much longer to you think I'd have to do untill my motor is really broken in? Im guessing around 1500, but what would you guys do? How long should I wait before I get to tuning her up?

Hey guys, I've got the grandprix driving like a champ with the new motor. I only have one pet peeve with the car now, the headlight warning dinger goes off if you have the dash lights on with your headlights. The alarm will go off if I turn off my dash lights. My question has 2 parts; does...

anyone have any photos of their g-body with air and headers? Specifically a 350 chev. What I am looking for specifically is the mounting bracket. The one that bolted to the manifold won't work and either the new bracket I bought isnt right or I'm not seeing what I'm supposed to do with it. I'v...

So I'm trying to wedge these headers in my grand prix, and just like the box says, there not going in from the top. :evil: The problem is the box says to have the car jacked up 2 feet to have the proper clearance to do it from underneath. Now my predicament, standard 2 ton jack and a few wooden...

Hey guys, I havnt posted here much because my car never really did get finished because, well the motor my buddy rebuilt for me was never right. but i saved and just bought a crate motor instead...the 350/290hp. 326ft lbs of torque combo from GM. I had a set of cast sanderson headers i was going...

Theirs water coming into my 2+2s trunk like crazy. Just wash it and and its running down the rail between the quarter panel and the top trunk peice under the window. I know this seems pretty simple, just follow the water. Well, took the back window out realized theirs no seams around the back...

Okay, so I bought a 700R4 to replace the Pos 200R4 in my grand prix 2+2. now that i've got it out is when i realize this is a little more complicated than what i was described by my mechanic and seller :evil: . so obviously the driveshaft needs to be shortened 3 inches. what do i do for a fill...
