ok i'm almost ready to buy my tires for my 81 malibu. i just want to be sure i don't run into problems with tire fitment. right now i have the stock housing (7.5)and have read where the max tire size is 255x60x15 which i want to install. this is the rear. i was going to buy 245's just to make...

getting things reassembled and seem to be having trouble getting the shift linkage adjusted right so the p-r-n-d-2-1 line up right in the dash. it's been off a little and it's starting to bug me. in the pic is what i'll call the cross shaft and mounting plate that i have had for a spare for...

3:50 u.s. gear jegs case trac-loc. this is the initial gear pattern with .020 shim and .008 backlash. looks like it should go deeper. not very good lighting in the garage. what do you think?

got my spare sending today from a forum member here. it answered a question i have seen many times here and other forums. this concerns whether to use the vent line (5/16) as a return. i have read where some high pressure electric pumps will move a ton of fuel back to the tank. i'm talking about...

i have several sets of wheels and like to switch around every once in a while. the po had put american racing mags on my malibu and had the rear axles drilled for 5 on 5 to match the mags. the rears also had centric rings on them which was ok. i have been getting my QP 9 inch housing ready for a...

anybody have any of those old reverberators? had one in my 65 gto right after high school. don't hear too much about them anymore but i loved the sound. used to be a HEATHKIT that you could make your own. would be fun to have one to show the grandkids.

i think i have an O ring leaking from my NEW.. master cylinder. 81 malibu with the standard mc,nothing special. i think it's from the rear reservoir O ring. i'm pretty sure they just need to be popped off but i have read where some have a pin or bolt that needs to be removed. don't see a pin or...

anybody know the part number for a pair of speed bleeders for a stock 7.5 rear on my 81 chevy malibu. would like to get the right ones the first time. thanks

just finished complete brake lines and calipers and rotors. started to gravity bleed and noticed it's almost impossible to get a wrench (tubing or regular) on the bleeder for the rear. it's recessed a little and with the hose on the tubing wrench will not go on because of the recess where the...

since they are not very costly, i plan on replacing my 81 malibu fuel tank sometime in 2020. would like to know what tank is in it now because i plan on the in tank 87 monte 4.3 f.i. tank with the drop in module. i run a n.a. q-jet crate motor now (375 hp). the current tank has a feed and return...

i got this item from a house that was being cleaned out and being ready for sale in late 70's or early 80's. the house was said to be an underground railroad during the civil war. have never been able to identify this thing and have shown it to many antique experts. i keep thinking it is some...

finally ready to redo the brake system in my 81 malibu. have just about everything and just looking everything over. something just does not look right. kept all the old stuff for reference to compare with new stuff (master,prop,calipers,rotors,pads).when i slide the fitting over the new...

decided to put new brakes on the front along with new everything else. gotta replace the line from the prop valve to the right front. probably will be a several day project. will the prop valve have to be reset when all the fluid is drained? seems i read something about that somewhere. thanks

been a very long time since i did a turbo 350 and always went by the book. Sessions book said to use metal rings but i hear teflon is the bomb nowadays. teflon looks to be a little thinner than the metal ones. is that normal?

first is the fact that the older i get (i'm 72) the more i like to talk to everybody. wife has to drag me away sometimes. my first organized drag race which i raced in had a flagman. the next year was what they called a christmas tree. i liked the flagman better. later that decade i went to the...

what would be a nice looking spoiler for the front of my 81 malibu? i have access to a pick and pull locally. thanks

looking for some opinions here on my 9 inch swap. got a kit with 35 spline axles that came with the housing kit from e-bay. this is a Quick Performance kit. i have never messed with the 9 incher before and always had gm 12 bolts and 10 bolts. this will go into my 81 malibu. i kinda get my...
