    A little taste .

    That's part of why I wanted a 4 door so bad lol. Haven't had an opportunity yet. Last night I had some fun with a 90s turbo Saleen Mustang. Don't think he expected me to pull away from him... 3 times lol.

    Speedometer problem

    It has nothing to do with V8 or V6. it's the rear end gears. So I'm guessing the car your transmission came out of had a different ratio that your car. Do you still have the old one, if you do you can just swap the speedo gears.

    85 Monte Carlo 4 speed conversion

    I don't know if this will help or not. Years ago I did a 4-speed (M-22) swap on a 1980 GP (Pontiac powered). I got a bell housing from a late 70s Firebird. And the pedals and clutch linkage from a late 70s Vetura (Nova). Had no problems not using a gbody specific bell housing. Also, I used a...

    A little taste .

    So I had my camera with me the other night and took a few short clips on the way home. this is the only one that's any good. Was raining pretty hard that night. ?v=ftbSjcWBWew&feature=plcp By the looks of it, 2nd gear is hitting to soon.

    New problem... wtf?

    Not yet, waiting on our tax money. The weird thing is that it was idling perfect the day before. I tried readjusting the idle screws, but still the same. Was raining so I didn't spend to much time out there today. Gonna mess with it some more tonight if the weather allows. Thanks for all the help.

    New problem... wtf?

    OK so here's an update. -The idle goes up in either port when hooking the vacuum line back up (and I'm pretty sure it didn't do that before). -Another weird thing, like I said the timing is at 12 degrees @ 800 RPM (vacuum like unplugged) but it seems to be 'dieseling' or 'running on' when I...

    GBOTM: July '12 Entries Thread

    !980 Malibu Classic. Bought from a little old lady with 44000KMs. Since I bought it I have had all the breaks redone, rebuilt 7.5 with 3.73 or 4.11 (not sure lol) gears and limited slip. Edlebrock rear suspension with an F-41 rear sway bar. Removed the wheel well chrome. Changed the wheels to...

    New problem... wtf?

    So been driving the Malibu a bit lately. But it had been using so much gas, you would think it had a 1000 HP big block. Then a week or two ago I happened to run into threetwentyseven and was showing it to him. He did two things. Moved my vacuum line (HEI) from the lower port to the higher port...

    Diveshaft loop

    All I can find now are one piece ones. But I too remember seeing the 2 piece style for gbodys somewhere at one time.

    Question about using a 'lumpy' cam on the street.

    I have a quick question for anyone running a 'lumpy' cam on the street. The cam in my engine has some good 'lump' to it. All the way up to about 1600 RPM. When I'm out driving at the speed limit (50KM/h, 33ish mp/h) my engine is just at 1600. So when I'm going any slower than that, it feels...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Damn I really like that. Might have to start looking for one myself. Why look for one? When you could make one like I did! All you have to do is find a aircleaner with the sane snorkel and cut it off and weld it to your old air cleaner. Cutting a new hole ofcorse Hmm, might have to do that :D

    Transmission line size and cooler install help.

    Re: Transmission line size and cooler install help. From what the site says, it's to much of a PITA to ship up to Canada.

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    Spent the afternoon trying to get some fittings to put the aftermarket cooler in with no luck. So I went home and put everything back together and took it for a cruise.

    Transmission line size and cooler install help.

    Wow getting nowhere with this. Apparently in my city, parts stores only hire idiots who know nothing about cars. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy a whole new cooler just to get some 50 cent fittings.
