Re: Relocating battery to firewall. Any How to's and thought i agree , go for the trunk . Weight transfer is a good thing . not a bad idea to mount it in the same direction as the factory battery was , reduces plate shifting......

Thanks For Your Service ! I went to Fort Lost In the woods Back in 1986 . I was a 12b Combat Engineer . They activated the Alpha 31st with us , it had been deactivated since WWII of the 129th eng bt . Be sure and visit lake of the ozarks . I went in the fall , weird weather compared to Alabama...

I think as well from now on , i would tell my brother to kiss my *ss when he wants to go somewhere . Let him yell , its not his future he is ****ing up , its yours if you arent careful . his is already a mess . Let em eat fish heads . Protect numero uno........ Good luck with it all .

Im not familiar with those locks . However , it seems similar to a truck tailgate per say . If so , then if its possible to remove the inner panel , where you can get to whatever the lock connects to , maybe a bar mechanism , you might be able to just connect them back together . If thats the...

Nice wagon . Welcome to the forum . its def a clean one . good luck with it .

hey , its a Ft Payne homie ! i missed this posting till just now .

Oh they have regulations , fortunately they never have enforced them . We just got mandatory insurance a few years ago , and as of yet no emission testing . im sure that will change someday . Enjoy it while we can though......... What i do hate however , is they requirements for titled vehicles...

In Alabama , as far as insurance , licensing , goes . Antique is 25 , and vintage is 30+ . My 69 chevy truck is tagged with a permanent Vintage Vehicle tag . i pay for limited use insurance . ahhhhh a 20 dollar tag that never expires , very nice........ :D

Speaking of Ford Fairmonts.... My brother raced one back in the late 80's with great success . He won third place in 87 , fourth in 88 and took top money winner for 89 . It was a stock bodied fairmont with a 306 . It was a hell of a bracket racer . Those finals were in Bristol , Tenn . Now he...

http://www.buickperformance.com/tiltste ... wobble.htm Someone posted this link the other night for fixing a loose column . Sometimes the bearings come apart and all the balls come out . Several things can cause them to do this . Doesnt take too many specialty tools to work on them , but it...

we have used oven cleaner to strip annodized parts before . We had some an fittings on the race car that got grungy looking after being r&r'd so many times . strips them with no prob . we had a guy up the road polish and coat them with something . worked , i will try and remember to ask him what...

I agree . had great hp and gobs of torque . Somedays it would act up for no apparent reason , and later just calm down . Alternator replacement was a b*tch , and so was the power steering hose . Had to drop the k member down in the back to get to it , but could only go so many inches or it...

especially with emissions.... i have been doing diagnostics almost 22 years . Take a look at the diagnostic connectors on some 95s and 96s when they were making the transition from obd1 and obd2 . that should have broken some type of law . i dont think they much cared , the engineers were...

Oh yeah......... that does help alot . I will go ahead and remove the seat . it has a light grey interior and the seats are perfect . my luck i would get it all over them . i got a few days off at the end of the week , will get on it then . Thanks

87's vs 88's Hey Guys......... long time , no see . anyway does anyone know right off apx how many 88 cutlass supremes were built as opposed to 87's ? Just curious cause i see 87's everywhere here in the tri states , but only a scattered few 88's . example , there are 22- 87 rwds in my home...

Nah , this particular olds was a readers car (70's cutlass) that was using chassis dyno time to tune . They found all sorts of problems but sorted them out . It to me didnt net numbers like i thought a blown big block should , but definitely more power than i have . I wouldnt thrown it out by no...

Nope , they are all gone .........

Dummy me.......... I just looked . They are nice for sure . Those laser cut flanges are badass . But i am still partial to ceramic . Then again i have never had stainless . So many choices , so little credit card left..........
