Who do we know / trust to do some fuel system & tuning on a 87 GN in central(ish) Texas? Anywhere between Austin and Dallas.

Does any body know if the Malibu shares the same rear package tray as the Monte Carlo? Thanks in advance!!!

Posting a email I just sent to Norm Young, CEO Weld Racing. Curious what you guys think, am I wrong? Mr. Norm Young, I just got off the phone with Josh from customer service. First off, I love Weld wheels; we have them on 2 different cars. Next I wanted to bring my situation to your...

Does anybody have any idea what sizes I'm looking for? I really don't want to buy 10 trying to figure it out. 1978 Malibu original gear box. See link below. Thanks http://www.russellperformance.com/mc/adapter-fittings/power-steering.shtml

Any shooters here? I have a question for the group. Hoping ya’ll can help. I’m having trouble with bullets tumbling out of my new build. I called Berger on Thursday and used their load recommendation. I couldn’t get any accuracy out of the loads below. I’ll provide rifle and load specs...

Wanted to let you all know about the exhaust I just installed on Michelle’s car. It's the Hooker Blackheart system (part# 70501364-RHKR). It is actually designed for a LS conversion but modified it a little to fit Michelle's car. I got the kit on sale for $658 + $450 for the install; $1100 for a...

Does anyone have a shop they can personally recommend? I spent some time in Austin today with no luck. Looking for a custom 3' over the axle, H or X pipe with cutouts, headers back. I'm willing to travel to Dallas or San Antonio for the right shop.

Is anybody running a (stock style) over the axle exhaust with a anti-roll bar? Space becomes very limited. I'm sure we'll have to do something custom to accommodate this if possible. Pictures are much appreciated if you have this setup. I would prefer not to dump it before the axle if at all...

Here is my Non-G project. I will be going back to it after I get Michelle's car done.

Just a heads up for anyone who is considering purchasing a Ididit steering column. Please bear with me I’m a little annoyed. I called Ididit and built my column (on paper) with them. They do not sell to individuals, so they had one of their vendors call me to finalize the order. So… that was 23...

I did a quick search for brake boosters being used with a 1" bore MC (aftermarket) and didn't really find any thing. Will the stock booster from a 78 accommodate this? What aftermarket boosters are available to support this application? I was looking at the booster below, but there is not a...

Hey all, I'm starting to work the fuel plumbing & wiring for my wife's Malibu and i have a few questions. We are running a Holley Terminator with a Dominator ECU. I plan to put the ECU under the passenger seat or in the trunk (which will require extending the harness (potential nightmare))...

The “Wife’s bracket Car” is gone. Michelle has decided that she wants a street car (kinda). Replacing the 1980 El Camino is a 1978 Malibu (Classic). Almost all of the drivetrain and suspension will be reused in the new build. I apologize for not doing a better job documenting the build. I’m...

So I installed a set of the AFR 1050 heads on my wife's car today. All went well till I went to install the headers. Apparently the exhaust ports on the AFR heads is .25in higher than stock, all kinds of clearance issues now. 1980 El Camino, SBC (383ci), What are you folks that have AFR Heads...

Is it the UCA or the Spring??? I need some help y’all, I’m building a bracket car for the wife and I’ve run into an interesting situation. Long story short, the new springs have pushed the car to the stops on the UCA. I’ve tried two different sets Moroso “Trick Springs” currently on the 47130...

So here’s the wife’s race car for next year. I picked it up this summer as a winter project ($600 as you see it on the trailer). She decided she wanted to go racing after she took her 2004 GTO down the strip a couple of weeks earlier. I’ve done some work so far and I’ve been picking up parts...

So, I’m building a bracket car for my wife (80 ElCo) for next year and I’m about to put the front end back together. I’ve updated all steering, suspension and brake components except the steering box. I’m torn between PS and the S10 manual box for her. How difficult is the manual box to steer at...

Here’s the deal (1980 El Co), I got the passenger side changed out with no issues. Driver side I had 3 spin. 2 of them I got already, but my question is about the #3 position. This position is different from the rest. It uses the shorter bolt and is different in appearance. So for those of...

Which ring & pinion gear is correct for my 1980 El Camino? I keep seeing “3.23 Ratio & Numerically Higher Carriers” or “3.08 Ratio and Numerically-Lower Carriers”, which one is correct for my car? And what are they talking about when they refer to carrier 2 or 3? See links below...

Ok, I’m in the process of building a "budget" bracket car for my wife to race next spring (1980 El Camino). I recently picked up a std bore 1976, 010 truck motor, 4 bolt main (complete). It has a forged crank, I’m not sure about the rods yet. I plan on taking the block .030 and using a decent...
