I need a bigger wheel and wider tire, leaning towards 17" rims. I like the original look and Yearone makes 17" replicas but not sure if they will fit and price appears to be double what you can get other 17" rims for. Option#1 is they Year One Staggered set 17x8 +0 offset in the front and 17x9...

Just checking to see if anyone has answer before I have to start pulling stuff apart (again) to count. Anyone know the spline count on a 1987 Olds 442 that came with the 8.5 rear and 3:73 gears? Thanks

Ok yesterday I started getting a really odd noise from what sounds like the gauge cluster. The sounds kinda sounds like scratching, really heard to explain, but it dose "go faster" as the car moves faster and its not RPM related. I'm thinking Odometer or speedo but both are working fine. Any...

Planning to do a tune up on my 301 since I'm not sure that last time the previous owner did one and am currently looking at the ignition system. Taylor offers two coils with different specs, question is which one?? Any advise would be great, thanks. 718225 Coil Wire Attachment:HEI in-cap Coil...

Anyone used this stuff?? http://www.evanscooling.com/ Saw a spot on Jay Leno's youtub about it.

I just read in one of the forum threads: "8.5 10 bolt rear axle assembly. Found in 84+ H/O or 442, and turbo cars only. May also be found in other models as a swap over the years. Comes in 3.42 on Regal models and 3.73 on Cutlass models. Posi is optional, not standard. Requires a 1 inch shorter...

Looking for new bushings and cant seem to find anyone that makes them for the 78-81 Regals. I thought all 78-87 frames where the same, but I guess not. Anyone know where I can get some or who makes them?? thanks

Having trouble finding out what these came with, any idea??

Ok trying to slowly restore parts of my regal and had a few questions. #1 Anyone know the brand of tires used?? They where P195/75 R14B SBR w/stripe #2 Was there a third break light in them back then, I have one and guessing its after market but not 100% sure. #3 Anyway to identify the radio...

With all the over heating threads the past few days maybe we should get some common suggestions, tech, and info all posted under one thread ..... just a thought :wink:

Can you drive safely whit out any internals in the rear drums? I know its an odd question but I know rear breaks only do about 15% of the breaking. So if all the parts, springs, pads where removed and you had just the cylinder would it all work (as is drive and break using fronts alone) or...

Looking for advise on what I should build and keep my eyes open for parts wise. I want to build a 500hp street engine, likely never going to see the track yet I'm kinda hard on my cars (treat most stop lights like I'm at the track). I'm new to the Chevy/GM line, all my engine experience all...

Ok I'm trying to put my 80 regal back to stock and to figure out what options it had from the factory. I know theres a service/web site that offers you a build sheet/invoice for $50 but they only go back to 1982. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look or who to talk to?

New to Buicks after just picking up a 1980 Buick Regal Somerset. Plan to keep the car interior and exterior original, but soon as the 4.9 dies or my money tree in the back yard grows a little I hope to drop in some muscle. So now for some n00b questions. #1 Will a Chevy 350 drop in without...
