Recently broke this cable which is between the front parking brake cable and the rear cables. I can't seem to find it anywhere though, it attaches with little clamps between the front and rear cables. Anybody know where to get this? Or if maybe it is included when you purchase rear cables?

Don't have the sticker any more on my evaporator core box and the mechanic only put in 2 pounds yesterday. He said the gauges showed full and he was afraid to put any more. Well its not blowing very cold and I found a decal that reads the system needs more like 3.25 pounds. Does this sound...

What are the most common areas for rain water to leak in? I replaced my windshield thinking the seal or crack was allowing water in but that was not the problem. Everytime it rains my passenger floor carpet gets soaked, sometimes even PUDDLING up. I know its coming from somewhere behind the dash...

My air conditioning won't blow out of the center vents (only defrost). I've checked the vacuum lines and everything seems fine. My mechanic says the vacuum switch on the back of the climate controls is prone to going bad, but I can't seem to find this in stores. Does it go by another name...

Been searching around but didn't really find too many options (dont want to pay $300+). Curious to see if anybody has done anything custom that I can possibly mimic. All of my plastic mounting stuff for the gauges are broken and cracked and just not very secure. I want to upgrade to some...

I just bought a center console or my el camino from ebay. I was expecting some cosmetic issues but it is actually much worse than that. The plastic is brittle and there are cracks around the front where you bolt the piece down and the arm rest area as well. Not to mention, the arm rest itself is...

I apologize in advance if this topic has been beaten to death but I failed to find anything in my search. I am building a 406 with hopefully over 400 horsepower and surely much more torque. Aside from that, my t5 transmission gears do not match up with whatever the really low stock 10 bolt ratio is...

I bought this cheap grant steering wheel which is smaller in diameter than stock and I love it. The only problem is that the horn button is this cheap crappy push-on piece that pops off in certain scenarios, and then the horn goes off continuously. I imagine it doing this in the parking garage...

I'm doing a manual transmission swap in my El Camino. The transmission and bellhousing are out of a 91 Camaro RS, it is a borg warner World Class T5. I will be using the hydraulic clutch set-up. I realize there are a few different types of flywheels, 153 or 168 tooth and one of each for one piece and...

Locally somebody is selling a "10 bolt limited slip diff." rear end from their 81 z28 camaro for 50 bucks. Is this something I should jump on? They claim it has 3.08 highway gear. I'm not too familiar with all of the different axles and which fit what but I do know I am due/will be due for an...

I've got air shocks and old springs which just dont seem to be doing the trick. If I put a couple hundred pounds in the back the rear end is sagging ridiculous-like. I tow a boat and would prefer the rear end did not drop much. After some looking I decided I'll be buying some Moog cc627 Cargo...

I hope this is the right section for this. I came across a conversion pedal/clutch kit for the Gbodies and it just dawned on me that the clutch system is not hydraulic...its an assembly of levers and linkages which go straight to the clutch fork. This makes the swap seem MUCH more straight...

still very determined to do a manual swap and found a local el camino that is a manual v6 for very cheap. Are the transmission the same? or is the v6 transmission weaker?

I have the stock springs in my elky and they are the originals and I realize springs have a lifespan just like anything else. Other than Eibach, i dont see any other places selling springs. I dont necessarily want to lower the ride height, I just want something new in there. anyone have...

I just put in a TCI th350 that was given to me with a broken governor gear. The previous owner said it probably had a coupe hundred miles on it and that he used B&M transmission fluid. I didnt realize b&m made Original and Synthetic fluids. When I went to refill the transmission with Original b&m...

Alright...this is probably a retarded question...but how can i get better gas mileage? I'm not talking about making sure my tire pressure is correct and weight reduction...I mean what does it take to get better than 12 mpg? thats my estimate of what I am adveraging....and its making me not want...

I dont remember having this problem until after my transmission swap. but to keep this short here is what happens : When driving the dash lights and headlights are fairly dim, when I rev the motor or accelerate quickly the lights brighten SIGNIFICANTLY. The battery is not old. Would this be...

Just thought I'd "contribute" a little project of my own since I ask so many damn questions. I started tearing out the interior the other day when I felt bad about nearly blowing my car up after my transmission and carb swap. My buddy used this duplicolor vinyl paint on his 240sx and ive used it in...

Im painting my interior black and was removing the headliner on my 83. The front and rear long pieces of metal that hold the headliner up are held in by like 3 or 4 of these weird black clips and I pretty much broke every single one. Anyone know where to get these? dealership item?

Okay...I'll try to make this straight to the point. I replaced my carburetor and transmission within the past week or so. I finished everything up today and felt REALLY good about all these improvements i'm doing to the el camino. The carburetor, i bought off ebay, ended up rebuilding it. I...
