    Front Speakers

    Anyone know a source for front speakers? Not looking for anything high powered, just stock 4 ohms that fit in the dash. A lot of the aftermarket have really big magnets and I'm not sure they would fit without cutting something out. I want to put the stock grills on too.

    SS Horn - Something Missing?

    Look at the second photo in the original post. The thin "washer" goes first and rests on the outer edge of the steering wheel with the center curved up (higher in the center) . Then the cup and the plastic insulators with the screws through them. When you tighten the screws make sure the washer...

    SS Horn - Something Missing?

    I saw that on Rockauto. Thought thats what is was. What about between the cup with screws and the plate. An insulator of some kind?

    SS Horn - Something Missing?

    So I found a SS steering wheel in a wreaking yard (9 months ago) and thought I took everything with it. Went to put it on and it seems something is missing. Service manual is no help. The canceling cam/horn wire connection on my column is the standard type, spring and wire going to the horn pad...

    Tachometer Problem

    Found my problem and fixed it. I found a link to MonteCarloSS.com and they talked of irratic tach, low reading tach or totally dead tach but not pegging 6k rpm. Seems there is a chip on the circuit board that one resistor circuit goes bad and can cause lots of problems. It's the black and white...

    Tachometer Problem

    They look the same. Maybe the chip on the board determines 6 or v8. The service manual shows a 6 with a tach in the schematics so I assume they came with a tach.

    Tachometer Problem

    I've got a 86' El Camino that had idiot lights in the dash and I got a dash cluster from another 86' with gauges including a tach. All of the gauges and clock works and the tach goes to 0 at key on but when I start the engine the tach goes to 6000 rpm and stays there. I don't have a tach filter...

    How much R12

    I'm ready to charge my 86' El Camino's A/C system but the previous owner removed all the labels on the system. Does anyone know what the correct amount of R12 is? It was a v-6 originally but I think the v-8s hold the same amount.

    A/C box modification

    Here's a couple pictures of what I did for my 500 install. I made a patch of aluminum and pop rivited it in place. Can't find pictures of it completed but you can hardly see it.

    Difference in rear sway bars.

    Thanks for all the info. Both of the ones I got measure .875 or 7/8". Looks like I'll use the short one and sell the long.

    Difference in rear sway bars.

    Went to pick up a rear sway bar yesterday and had a choice of with or with out a hump so I bought them both. Does anyone know the different applications for each or more importantly which is better? It's going in a 86' Elco so I'm not going road racing but it will have a 500 Cadillac for extra...

    Cross flow muffler?

    I'm using a 86'- 87' Buick GN muffler- Walker 22395 - $55 on E-Bay. Dual 2 1/4" inlets and dual 2 1/4" outlets. Mounts in stock location but I'm running dual pipes all the way back with a 500 Cadillac in a 86' El Camino. Not running yet so I don't know how it'll sound but the Buick V-6 sounded...

    10 Bolt From 93' Fit 86' Housing?

    I have a 86' El Camino and have found a 10 bolt posi rear with 3.43 gears from a 93' to 97' Camero. Can the internal parts be swapped? The mount is different and I'll not sure of the width. Worth the effort?

    Seat belt retractor

    Does anyone know if all G-body front seat belt retractors fit the El Caminos? I have a 86' El Camino and I need both front retractors but El Caminos are hard to come by and am hoping they're all the same. How about the B-bodies (Caprice)? I need them in blue if anyone has a set to sell.
