    Any ideas how much it would cost to have a shop rewire my 1987 MC SS? How difficult would it be to do myself?

    MONTE CARLO 1987 MC SS RIM BOLT SPECS

    So what would be the ideal setup? I dont know a whole lot. I am learning, soaking up as much knowledge as I can. Reading a little and watching some videos has me concerned about not using the same rim/tire specs as the stock setup. But, I like these iroc rims! The current tire and rim size is...

    MONTE CARLO 1987 MC SS RIM BOLT SPECS

    To be honest I dont know what would be best in this situation. Suggestions? I want to move away from the 22 inch rims - want to get more rubber for a smoother ride.

    MONTE CARLO GEAR RATIOS... Huh?!?!

    It seems to me that no matter if the part with the teeth is in the housing or not the cable inside the black sleeve is the same length either way right? Could there be an issue with the transmission? Could there be a problem with the part in the transmission that the TV cable pulls? I dont know...

    MONTE CARLO GEAR RATIOS... Huh?!?!

    So I have done that - put the piece with the teeth back into the housing by pressing the button. When the piece with the teeth is in the housing I cant pull the throttle wide open. When it sits as seen in the pics I can pull the throttle wide open. As seen in the pics it works as you all...

    MONTE CARLO GEAR RATIOS... Huh?!?!

    Put a new Holley bracket on the carb to hold the TV and gas cable.

    MONTE CARLO GEAR RATIOS... Huh?!?!

    Doing some research and it appears to be a easy task to replace the TV cable. What about adjuating it? Is it something I could do?

    MONTE CARLO GEAR RATIOS... Huh?!?!

    So the cable that connects to the carb from the transmission appears to be not working. How hard would it be to replace this cable? It doesnt pull, seems to be stuck... Not sure what to do here. Been watching a few videos. Any help would be appreciated.
