Awesome, that's some great advice. Thanks guys. Do those brackets require me to drill and tap holes, or are there bolt holes already there?

So I'll probably be thrown to the lions for this, but I plan on keeping drum brakes in the rear for my Regal. I do plan on upgrading the front discs to something better. The main reason I want to keep the drums is because I want air ride someday, and most of the rear disc brake set ups require...

Wonderful. Just wanted to double check before I dropped it in. Guess it wouldn't have been to big a deal to do a test fit, but I'll take all the info I can get. Thanks everyone.

It's a 7 quart pan. Not sure of the brand, it might be this summit one, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g ... /chevrolet. That's what it looks like. I'm worried about it dragging on the ground.

Hey there, I'm going to be swapping a sbc 383 into my 87 Regal. As I was having it dynoed, one of the guys mentioned the pan looked a little too low for a regal, and might drag. Anyone have any input and/or photos of a sbc oil pan that fits into a Regal? I'd like to find out if I need to replace...

Hey guys, no, I havent figured out the issue, I've been pretty busy with work and the holidays, and since it's another ridiculous winter here in the northeast, it's been off the road. The plows have been salting WAY more than usual, and I don't want to subject my regal to it. The battery was...

Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem. Did great for 2 days, then I'm drivin home, about a 25 minute drive, and I can see my lights getting dim again, and my blinkers blinking slow. I think I'm going to try and get a refund on that alternator, and get one from somewhere that isn't advance auto...

Had the alternator tested out of the car, it tested good. In the meantime, my father replaced the alt connector with female spade terminal ends, because he had a sneaking suspicion that the terminals were bad or wires were bad. I had the the alternator retested, after the wiring repair, by my...

I didn't get a chance to take the alt to get tested, and now I have band practice, so tomorrow maybe. I did find this out though, my alternator output steadily drops, as I increase rpms, and it seems the faster the engine speed, the quicker it drops, slightly off idle, drops .01-.02V, at what...

That is a lovely diagram. Looks just like what I got goin on here, much better than the haynes. I'll have to get those books, because clearly they are better. The headlights do not pulse, they are on steady. The belt is also tight. I have not tested the voltage regulator. Is that the test...

Repaired the fusible link, started the car, checked voltage, 14.86. Drove to my buddys house about 25 minutes away, checked voltage, 13.5. Hung out, got some dinner, went to leave about 2 hours later, start car check voltage, 13.25, turn on the headlights, drops to 12.5, and slowly decreases by...

Though, I'm still not totally convinced that's the correct diagram. My alt has one big wire that goes directly to the battery positive, with a smaller red wire off the same alternator post that jumpers to a connector that has the brown wire in it. Looking at the diagrams in the haynes manual...

Nevermind, I lied. I found it, that diagram just threw me off, I've been going of the on in my haynes manual

And I'm not sure that's the correct diagram for my car, there is no brown or white wire in that diagram. I hope repairing this fusible link corrects my issues.

Found a bad wire at the end of the fusible link near the starter. Someone before me has made a repair, and it didn't last. Any idea what gauge fusible link I should use? Thanks

I have indeed checked the grounds, that was the first thing I did, all the wires/crimps/connectors are good, and I've tested voltage at both battery terminals and alternator, and to various grounds. My assumption is I have a bad wire somewhere, as I've been driving the car since September...

I put the alt in, actually 2 alts so far Sears just told me it was bad, and couldn't help me cuz they were closing. I had the first one i put in tested after it died, it tested ok, but they gave me a new one anyways, and I got like 3 more days out of it. And yea, it charges 14.5 sometimes, but...

Hey everyone, I did some searching through the site, but I haven't found any threads too similar to my issue. 87 regal with 307, not sure which alternator. Well, a week ago I was drivin to albany, about an hour trip, check engine light came on, car died. I pushed it to a sears auto center, they...

Thanks for the info, the rear end came up on craigslist for 200, figured it was worth finding out the info. Thanks again.

I'm going to check out a, hopefully, 8.5 inch rear end out of a 73 Monte Carlo. I'm wondering if this will be an easy swap into my 87 Regal. Thanks for any tips or advice.
