Looking for a little help here. Converting back to carburetor from an EFI setup and I have an intank fuel pump and would rather not go to a mechanical, so I'm using an Automotive bypass regulator to drop the pressure down to 6 psi. Still waiting on a couple parts to hook up my gauge to come...

1987 Monte Carlo LS, 60/40 front bench. Both seats lean too far back and I am wondering if this is supposed to be some sort of adjustment? Doesn't seem to do anything.

I discovered I need to run a new fuel line for my return (Sniper EFI) due to damage on my 5/16 line, So I'm going to use 3/8" line like my feed. It converts to 5/16 hose for the last 18-24" as it goes to the pump/bucket as I don't really feel like dropping the tank again. Will this have the...

Getting my 87 on the road for the first time in 2.5 years and I drove it for the 2nd time tonight. The first press of the brake pedal is pretty soft, then the second one is much firmer. Does this sound like air in the lines? During the "restoration" I replaced the calipers, brake hoses and...

I've been trying to find some pics, bonus if it's an LS model. Looking at some 15x7 and 15x8s to replace my Cragar wheels that are getting rough. No luck on Google Images.

Finally getting my car back on the ground and the front sits a bit higher than I expected. Setup is Belltech drop spindles - Blazer conversion with bolt in hubs, Blazer brakes and such Moog 5602 springs. New Moog upper control arms New Moog (stock) lower ball joint. 235/60r15 tires in front...

Looking to replace the power steering hoses in my v8 swapped Monte and am running into a road block. My Saginaw pump has a 5/8" 18 inverted flare connection. I believe that high pressure line goes to a 18mm 1.5 thread connection on my steering box (is this o-ring or flare?) The low pressure...

Considering throwing my headers in the trash. After beating them into fitting (1/8" clearance in some places), doing a custom steering shaft and grinding this and that I can't make them work switch my shifter linkage. I'm over them. 87 Monte Carlo, 383, column shift, 2004r. Will the...

I lifted the engine to replace the oil pan gasket and once the pan was pulled I found that the issue may be due to the pan itself. So I want to replace the pan and gasket. From research I found that I want to use the blue Felpro 1 piece and the pan is the only thing determining if I need the...

my LS has only the idiot lights and a fuel gauge, I'd like to add the oil pressure, temp and volt gauge. I already installed the senders on the engine and tied them to the wires my diagram shows are the correct wires. Do I need to do anything else behind the dash, or do I just pull the 4 pack...

Cleaning up and fixing the mess under the hood. Car is a 87 LS, was a fuel injected 4.3. Now it's a carbureted v8, ecm is gone. First is wiring going to a pressure switch(??) On the power steering line near the steering box. What's it for? Can I eliminate it? Besides the 2 wire plug at the...

I was looking at the vhx gauges, but do to price I'm looking at other options, they seem to be around $1000 My car is a 1987 LS with no gauges or tach. Due to the engine swap, I want a reliable oil pressure and temp gauge, as well as a tach. What's everyone's thought on new center gauges and a...

My 87 has a 9" rear end, out of an unknown car. From what I can tell from online pics, it's an early "big bearing" rear end. Current drums are 11", 2.25" shoe. For some random reason one of the drums is significantly deeper than the other, like 3.75" va 5.25". The 5.25" one comes very close...

I've only driven my 87 once, the drive home. Since then it's been on jackstands and I've been fixing/restoring/upgrading. I noticed there was some coolant on the oil filter and the block (so passenger side, near the back). I cleaned it off and started the car to so where it was coming from...

Anyone have this problem? I guess I need to grind a 1/4" off the upper A arm lip for clearance. Before I do,want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Currently about 1/32" clearance and the spindle will touch the upper depending on suspension location and if the car would turn right.

Replacing the front springs (and everything else). Car was originally a v6 and now has a 1st gen small block. I'm replacing the stock v6 springs with v8, Moog 5602 springs and drop spindles. Question is - my Moog springs are much taller without weight. Enough where I'm not sure how I will...

looking at the DD setup as my car doesn't have the gauge package, just the idiot lights. Right now my car has a 383 with a th350 transmission. I assume the DD kit comes with everything I need, including a hookup for the mechanical speedometer? What if I ever switch to a 4l60e, will I need an...

in my 87 Monte Carlo is see some extra 12v and ignition terminals that ca be tapped into, does anyone know the current rating of the wiring connected to these? The previous owner completely removed the heat and ac, so I'm adding heat back in the car and looking for a source for power. The...

1987 Monte Carlo, Upgrading the stock stuff to the Blazer upgrade setup. I'm going to use the Belltech 2102 Drop spindles for a 2wd blazer, But when I go to get front rotors at summit, the 2wd ones look like the type with studs that use a spindle and you have to pack bearings into (stock). 4wd...

Hey all. Just picked up a 87 Monte Carlo LS that has had some work done, but is in dire need of suspension and brake work. Since I'm going to be replacing most of the front suspension and brakes, I'd like to do the lowering at the same time, it looks like about stock height but I'm not sure...
