This is what I've done: If you're not sure about the functionality of the thermostat, replace it first. ... Then get a garden hose handy with an on-off handle. The engine MUST be cold to do the rest. ... Turn the heater/ac to HEAT. Remove the top radiator hose. Take the radiator cap off. Start...

30k miles on a 35 year old 442 for $25k. That's a good price. If it had t-tops, it would be closer to $28k. I don't think there's anything really objectionable about the exhaust. It looks like someone was trying to get more noise out of it. As for the wear on the car; it's 35 years old and has...

$35k for a sought after 35 year old g-body with 250 original miles is a bargain. If that car had t-tops, it would easily have been more.

The 307 (301 and 305) engines are all ultra thin wall constructed. They are poor engine choices for any application where you want a modicum of power.

Reading the engine description, the first thing that jumped out at me was the single plane intake. A single plane intake is a good choice if you have a dedicated race engine that lives at high rpm, or a modified, big-cubic-inch engine. 305's are definitely not a good choice for any kind of...

For a rebuilt transmission, I don't think you can go wrong with a nationally recognized name like B&M or Hughes. From personal experience, I would not recommend Monster Motorsports. There's really no reason to pick an E transmission unless you are doing an LS swap. A well built 200R4 will work...

You said the 700r4 transmission was mounted to the original crossmember. Unless the original V6 came with a 700R4, then the frame mounts are definitely in the wrong place on the front frame. If that is the case, then I'd recommend that you do it right and pull and reinstall the engine after...

I would have to assume that the rot in the 67 is not limited to the frame, and you seem to have a project on your plate. Replace the 305 and get that car running/driving/saleable. If you sell it soon, you can always see if the 67 is still available.

You'll need to add hardened seats to the 425 heads for unleaded gas. Otherwise, the 425 is a great engine.

I didn't want to trust spark plug wire connections to cheap crimpers, so I bought something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00079LN1Y/?tag=gbody-20

My first car and first restoration was a 66 Olds. It turned out pretty good I think.

The horror. The horror. (10 points if you know the movie that's from.)

That's very helpful. Thanks.

Yes. Those things.

Hi guys, I have two sets of rear interior panel window trim from an 85 t-top Cutlass. Do these also fit Regals, Montes, Lemans, and Gran Prixs? Do they also fit non t-top cars? Thanks.

I have some experience with your situation. Looking at the photos, my guess is that there is a lot more bondo hidden under the paint. As someone else pointed out, you have two options, full-blown resto or just git-er-done. Based on what I'm seeing, I would not do a full on restoration. I...

I would also look at the tires themselves. Sometimes they are out of round. You can see it when the tires are spinning on the balance machine and sometimes you can feel it when you're going really, really slow on a smooth road. They will rock the back end of the car back and forth.

Re your engine, check out this thread, https://gbodyforum.com/threads/awful-belt-squeal-issue.52712/

You could just go to hardware store, buy, and then add a helper spring.
