    Seeking knowledge.

    "Blinkers" on top of the fenders are part of the external lamp monitoring system. You should also see via the rear view mirror a little lamp pod just above the rear window. It was an option on the RWD Cutlass in 1985, including 442. Those grilles are likely reproductions, which technically...

    No. Got pics? Never seen a pinhole in a T-top glass before.

    CUTLASS WTF-ING F? V8 Alternator Bracket Spacer Not There. Random installs.

    Actually I would think the tension on the bolt by tightening the belt adjusting bolt would keep it tight on the pivot bolt and it wouldn't rattle. Mine never did and it didn't have a sleeve. Although it's better to have it to prevent the bolt from having to have three different tension points...

    eBay 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

    An 84 MCSS with bucket seats. Don't see that all that often. Well, I don't anyway.

    Home-made GM Part Numbered Belts

    60 HP gain. Rounded up from raw data of 59.73 HP. The surface of the belt is a bit rough, so the ink fills in the gaps making it smoother, allowing it to spin easier with less drag on the belt surface. It's a small gain per belt, but it adds up. I get 0 point deductions.

    oily plugs

    How many miles on this thing? It all depends on the condition of the engine, especially cylinder rings, cylinder walls, and valve stems/seals. The oil could be getting sucked into the intakes by leaky valve stem seals or worn stems or guides. Also worn rings will allow too much oil to get onto...

    MALIBU Switch? Wiper washer …

    I help where I can. I make no guarantees on anything as I'm not fluent on every part on every model. Especially dash mounted switches like this. Just as long as you don't have delay wipers, this should work out for you. Fingers crossed.

    oily plugs

    Combustion chambers actually don't look horrible, but blue exhaust smoke indicates oil burning. Check to see if you're canister vent system is working properly. Sometimes the vapors that accumulate in the canister could pile up if not sucked into the engine. There's a vented bottom, but that's...

    Home-made GM Part Numbered Belts

    Found that pic of that angled factory inkstamp. Something went a hair screwy at the factory I guess. It's an A/C belt, for anyone wondering.

    MALIBU Switch? Wiper washer …

    469070 is the GM p/n for 78-80 non-delay wiper switch. Superseded to 14009243. Here's an NOS 9243 that was used in the 81s. It has the little windshield icon. Around 30 bucks shipped seems very do-able...

    Home-made GM Part Numbered Belts

    These are those belts I was talking about. They look pretty neat, and if they had the right part numbers available, I'd just buy these, however, at nearly 30 bucks each, that's an easy 116 bucks for a set of 4. Plus tax and shipping. I've got about $30 in the set of belts, if that. If you add...

    I Just Saw This: 3/27/25 GOOLOO GT4000 Jump Starter on Sale

    It's on spring sale like all their "junk" so now's a good time to buy if you've been sitting on the fence. This thing jump started everything I've ever used it on. Everything. Probably not a huge diesel semi, but probably everything underneath that...

    Paint code question

    Those are super close colors to each other. Both used on everything EXCEPT Chevy. Chevy did not use code 22. From the factory, code 25 was used on Regal in 85 and 86. Code 22 was used on electra/Park Avenue, and Somerset, Skylark and LeSabre

    Home-made GM Part Numbered Belts

    The test batch went ok, I guess. I could be better at it. The alternator belt got a tad angled, but that's ok too, as I've seen original belts like that. I got a picture of an OEM one somewhere I'll have to see if I can dig up. These belts are for a 1985-87 VIN 9 442. Ironically, they're not...

    Home-made GM Part Numbered Belts

    So, I've got a couple of sets of NOS belts, but I also happen to have some factory-installed belts for my 85 442. I hesitated to use aftermarket belts, as they're just not marked up properly. I checked into those aftermarket reproduction GM belts, but while they look pretty cool, they're...

    1984 Hurst

    Regardless if vinyl or cloth, the color was dark maple, GM code 77. As far as the original material, it's pretty much gone. Hen's teeth. If you find some, get it.

    MOPAR News: Return of the Hellcats' Hemi?

    Might be simply rumors. Who knows? You always hear stories of a "return" but in this case, there might be a bit more truth than the normal rumors. Time will tell. Crossing fingers. The more V8s the better, IMO...

    Aftermarket Transmission Crossmembers: 'Lightened' Versions vs Older

    It's a rubber-framed G-body. ANY cross bar connecting across the frame rails is a welcome addition. I'd bet dime to donuts the engineers developed the stock bar as not only a trans tail resting place, but a frame connector as well. Maybe not the best connector in the world, but it was better...
