    No headlights or tail lights

    I went to drive the car this morning, and I have no headlights or tail lights. Had them last week when I drove it. Turn signals and hazards work, brake lights work too. Pulled the switch and I am somewhat limited without a wiring diagram, but I have no power on the light switch side plug, and...

    Can anyone take a pic of where this connects?

    I'm trying to make the high-speed blower work for the first time in 15 years of owning my car. I tracked it down to a lack of power in the red (always hot) wire on the high speed relay, which jumps power about 12" of wire away at this connector: Now I have temporarily run a constant power...

    Msd box mounting

    Hey guys, long time no post. I'm looking to put in an msd 6al-2 and I'm having a tough time underhood finding a spot where it fits and is accessible for tuning the Rev limiters. Anyone have pics or suggestions? I'm just looking for what others have done. Might also put an underhood fuse box...

    Anyone run wood heat in their shop/home?

    I was given a big old Nashua stove for my garage. I am looking forward to having heat and indoor workspace this winter, but looking into the process of building a chimney seems a bit back and forth as to what is actually needed. I have an 8' cinderblock wall, then the roof and end walls beneath...

    Any other hydraulic throwout bearings other than the junk McLeod 1400-22 for an lt1 t56?

    I have the McLeod bearing in my car since I put it together 4.5 years ago. This marks the 3rd failure in under 10k miles. Sadly, this seemed to be the only real option for the olds to an lt1 t56 that does not include swapping everything to an ls style trans, shifting the trans back 2" with...

    LEAKS!

    Ive had my car since 07, and it only leaked when I first bought it because the hvac vent was plugged. Long story short, my car sat outside for the first time in a few years for the last 2 months, and the floor was SOAKED. It was mostly the drivers side that was completely saturated, the...

    New tires. Drag radial sizes.

    I just finished up an 8.8 to strange s60 swap in my car and only had stock 14s and the mustang wheels that were on the 8.8. I ordered 18x8s and have tires for them already, but they are a ways from getting here. So I picked up a set of 15x8 weld wheels with 4.5"bs and 28x9x15 slicks. They rub...

    cutting springs to lower

    Before anyone tells me how bad an idea this is, and how I will die, and that my car wont run any longer, ect... I know this isn't optimal. This is a short term solution to allow me to decide where I want the car to sit and how low I can go and still fit my tires. I am looking to lower the car 1"...

    265/35R18 on a cutlass

    I am ordering a set of 18x8 4.5" backspace wheels to go all the way around on my car. What is the widest tire I can fit in the wheelwell all the way around with that backspace without rolling the fender lip? I'd like to fit a 265/35r18 which is 25.3" tall (is that too short?) and 10.7" section...

    8.5" rear strength

    I know I want to go with a dana 60 in my car for sheer strength, but it just doesn't seem to financially feasible. They start at $2340 + ~300 for a non-clutch type posi (they suggest it for any track use) + ~300 to ship it still brings me to around $3000. Ouch. Then I still need to set up brakes...

    Opinions needed on my rear end

    Exactly as the title states, lol. I have an 8.8 in my car with some vibration issues. I'm honestly sick of dealing with it. I was supposed to be picking up a 4.10 posi 8.5 last week, however while it does have 4.10 gears, its an open diff! So now I am kinda stuck. I planned to just throw it in...

    Bent Axle Housing?

    I am still fighting this vibration issue on my cutlass with the 8.8 from last year. I have put in a brand new 3" diameter dom 48" long driveshaft and messed with the driveline angle til the cows came home. I picked up another 8.8 and swapped out the axle shafts which made a considerable help in...

    Does anyone have a rear mounted with rodends?

    I have my 8.8 mounted in my car with rod ends. It has a bit of a vibe, which I swear is bad, but a friend of mine tends to believe its just a nature-of-the-beast issue because the rear is mounted with rod ends on both the upper and lower arms. I'm really questioning what is just...

    Do any rear disc brakes fit 14" rims?

    I have been toying with upgrading to rear disc brakes as an axle retention method for an 8.5 rather than c clip eliminators or cutting the housing and welding on 9" ends. The real question is: what will fit under a 14" stock steel wheel that has an ebrake? Everything claims to have a 15" minimum...

    Looking for a bolt in all aluminum radiator

    Any suggestions out there? I'm also probably going to wire in a set of f body fans I picked up forever ago. I have a used modine 951 that's been in my car since 07, looking to upgrade to a better radiator. I just want something that will bolt in, doesn't need any coolers in it, but I don't want...

    A/c not cold

    I had swapped my a/c to r134a some years ago. I knew then that the compressor was failing. Last year I replaced the compressor, vacd the system and refilled it. All was well until a seal in the new compressor failed. I replaced the expansion valve and receiver/dryer at that time. I just re...

    17x10s all the way around.

    I got a good deal on 4 torque thrust IIs 17x10 with a 7" backspace. I need a bolt on spacer/adapter for my ford rear. What kind of spacer would I need front and rear on a stock rear so I can measure and figure out where I'm at with the wider rear. Also, what size tires can I run on these and not...

    Springs!

    I'm looking for a roughly 2" plus or minus drop all the way around and good handling characteristics, what springs do you guys suggest? I really don't wanna go drop spindles since I plan to replace the springs anyway, and lowering springs (from what I've read from some good sources) help solve...
