A QUICKEE! What size Torx socket fits the seat belt bolts on my Malibu. I need to change some belts and I don't have many larger Torx bits. All help appreciated.

I have lived in Fort Mill for 20+ years. The schools are some of the best in the state, but because of the proximity to Charlotte, N.C., land prices have risen a bunch. FM is close to I-77, and open land still can be found, but it's getting harder to find. If acreage is an issue, you might look...

Might as well show my new toy '81 Malibu wagon - 1988 I-ROC 305TPI/700R4 "More fun than a bucket of nuts"- Daily Driver, Full Eibach Suspension, A.R.E. Hoopster Wheels. Noisy-*ss Flowmasters.

Thanks, That's what I was afraid of. I found a pic of the backside of a control on E-bay. Looks like a socket of some kind is needed for a 194 bulb. Is that something a local "HELP" section might have? Still looking for a way to brighten up the whole dash cluster.

1981 Malibu: Manual A/C control. No light . Where is the dial light located? My shop manual says it's a 194 bulb. Does it use the twist-in socket, or fit direct. A picture would be a big help. I'm getting too old to crawl around under the dash, but I really would like to get the light working...

O.K. I'm back from Shades of the Past. Got the new part from Dixie and going to try to install this week. Any tips on removing the old part? I have a GM Shop Manual, but it's kind vague. Any help greatly appreciated.

O.K. Finally had a chance to drop the glove box door and get a good look at the problem. The "bellcrank" is indeed broken at the cable end. Ordered repop from "Dixie Restoration". In the meantime I taped the threaded rod end in position. Gotta' get ready for "Shades of The Past" . Going up...

Subject: 1981 Malibu wagon, Manual Air Conditioning. I think the "bellcrank" has failed. This is where the control cable triggers the temp. door. I can't tell much from the Service Manual which I purchased. Any chance anyone has any pictures of this piece? I can drop the glovebox door and...

Hello gentlemen, Does anyone make a replacement horizontal window seal for the tailgate of my '81 Malibu? Mine is rough!o

Excuse my lack of knowledge, my "new" '81 Malibu is the newest car I have owned. After getting the car on the lift, I found that what my service manual call the equalizer bar is connected to a U-shaped arm bolted to the transmission(700R4). At my first look, it seems like that is a sloppy...

Vintage Air has a bracket kit to install a serp.belt drive Sanden compressor to the GM serp. brackets. My brackets were cast aluminum, (I think some may have been steel. With some help from Vintage, I was able to order the pump with the best outlet/inlet direction for me. Had to shorten and...

I will admit, I'm not an expert. Only done the one on my truck. I was able to remove the old pump from the P/O used. I removed the pressure relief valve from the Serp. pump and install the valve and existing hose. Don't know if all the pumps are interchangeable, but it worked for me. I...

Yes, you will need the correct clutch fan for reverse-rotation. The fan blade itself come in several diameters.

I am having air delivery issues with my "new" '81 Malibu Wagon. I can hear the blower and it sounds like it's moving a lot of air. When I switch on the A/C, I can hear the damper/valve opening and get some air flow out of the dash vents. Not much,but some,and not very cold "sorta' warm. I had...

New guy here, looking for a place to light.

Greetings, I have done this swap on my '70 C-10/350Crate. I love the simplicity of the serpentine belt. The PO of the truck had installed an aftermarket A/C and the multiple V-Belts were almost impossible to align properly. Do the swap, you won't regret it. The mounting brackets will work even...

Newbie here - For my 69th Birthday, I bought myself a nice '81 Malibu Wagon. I'm sure I'll be leaning on some of the experts here.
