I recently bought the rear disc conversation from speedway for my 442. It's the non e-brake caliper kit. Honestly I'm not happy with the kit. It was missing a lot of things I needed to complete the conversion. It was missing rubber hoses, correct prop valve, and a few other minor things I can't...
Also as far as the headers I'm wondering if a set of Monte Carlo headers will work? I know I'll have to change the flange. Unless there's a company out there that already has them made up. Keep in mind I don't have a welder not am I that great at it
Actually I'm converting to carb lol and yeah I plan on running the caddy accessories te engine came with the harness so I planned on splicing that into my existing harness. Unless that's advised against
Hey guys,
I'm working with my 87 442. Originally I was going to put a 455 bbo in it but price and availability of a good core or parts in general became to much. I had bought a complete drop out lt1 from a 95 Cadillac fleetwood with 220k on it. I decided to drop that in. I need help with...
Does anyone know where I can find a OEM style cigarette lighter? I'm looking for a factory replacement. My usual places I shop for them don't either have one listed or someone has already robbed it. (Gbodyparts.com, eBay, junkyard) thanks in advance
Thanks for the input guys. I found a place on eBay that sells a kit and promises it only requires a 12v wire to go to the trans from the fuse block and there's no switches or computers required. It also doesn't seem like it has a vacuum switch. The sellers name is justracing-and-more. Maybe you...
Thanks for the feedback, so in your opinion the tci setup is the way to go. I've seen some other ones that aren't vacuum operated. To your knowledge do they require the ECM to still be in the car?

Has anyone out there used the lockup kits that are sold for your 200r4 or 700r4? If so how did you like it? And more importantly do you have to turn the toggle switch on only when you're already in 4th gear or can you just turn the switch on and leave it be? Thanks in advance
Everything is stock, at first I thought it was the kickdown cable. But once I adjusted it the problem was still there. I was talking to a buddy of mine about it and he thinks that it could be the lock up not properly working. But he's not 100% and neither am I. I was wondering if anyone else has...
Best tip I can think of is to spray the hell out of the torque converter where it meets the flywheel with wd40. It's happened to me before when I would pull either the motor or trans in the past. If it's never been taken out before the two will fuse together from corrosion.
The transmission in my 87 442 has nice firm shifts. However, it doesn't fully go into overdrive. What I mean by that is I can feel it shift through all gears but once it gets into 4th and I am crusin at highway speeds my rpm's don't drop. I'll go about 65mph and the tach will read 3k where as in...
You can use the pedal that most drop out engines come with, or change the throttle body over to an earlier year that is cable driven. As far as the trans goes the only issue I can foresee is drive shaft length and either relocating the trans crossmber or buying the new one all ls swap kits come...
