That to me sounds like a ground issue or something shorting out when you touch the steering column. Get rid of that alarm man. We have some good resources here for wiring diagrams if you dont have a service manual for the car already. I highly suggest one if you dont already. Worse case scenario...

Its hard to tell whats going on while that alarm is still in there, even partially. It may be a pain but I would suggest taking it all out and starting at zero with the wiring, then working forward from there. From what you described, it sounds like removing the stock wheel and maybe horn button...

Not to throw anothing wrench in things but Im posting these to see if theyll help. I used these diagrams to get an idea on how things worked when it came to the motors and the switch. I used a Caprice switch and Fiero mirrors but I cant imagine things are much different to be honest. Its been a...

I ran into the same problem when I did the power mirror swap, the mirrors I got didnt come with both sides of the connection. I ended up going to the junkyard and finding another GM car with a 4 wire connector and cut both sides and spliced in the connector to the mirror side and then made the...

Do you mean the Blazer brake swap? If so heres the link which includes instructions and parts: https://gbodyforum.com/threads/98-05-blazer-brake-upgrade-done.35747/ I've done the swap once and its been great. I do suggest getting the Blazer frame brackets for the brake hoses but it seems to be...

I just completed the install of an efan setup. I got a fan assembly from a late 90s-ish Chrylser 300, which I believe is the same or similar to the Dodge Stratus fans. I used a Volvo fan controller/relay and a separate relay to control and power the setup. Used a BMW temp sensor and wired it all...

Done quite a bit in the last couple weeks. I removed the EFE TVS sensor and used the port hole in the thermostat housing to move the temp sensor for the computer over and installed the temp sensor for the electric fans. Tested system and all works as it should, fans kick on automatically when...

Nice looking unit. I may have missed it but what booster are you running with that?

Junk yard finally got a G Body in for the first time in a long time. 1980 Cutlass. It just dropped yesterday and I ran down there after work today. Bucket seat and console car. SCORE? Negative. Car was INFESTED with spiders. And when I did get brave enough to stick my hand down and try to remove...

I have this on my 88 MCSS as well. I figured it was either because its an 88 and they were throwing every last part into the cars since the plan was to stop building them soon or because its a T Top car. Or both.

I'd suggest just using the metal clips. I bought the plastic trim clips for my windshield moldings and they did not work at all. The metal clips that are usually marketed for A Body trim is what I used and they work great.

I did the Blazer swap as well and didnt change the proportioning valve and do not have the touchiness that you described. I did rebuild the rear brakes and have all new pads/shoes front and back. The rear has aluminum drums but I doubt thats the difference. That beind said, I dont have much in...

Finally got my rear suspension done and slapped back together. Got UMI lower arms, MOOG bushings and A Body springs, KYB shocks, no name adjustable upper arms, and new nuts and bolts from Ace Hardware for most of it. Shout out to SS_Malibu for the spacers for the upper arms. The A body arms...

I dig it. Welcome to the forum.

Yeah I got one for sale, with supports for the control arms and the bolts/nuts. Came off my 88 Monte SS. PM if interested.

Yes that Z15 RPO would align with the El Camino SS appearance package. Stripes and badges I believe. LG4 is the non-HO 305. F41 is the sport suspension package with jounce bars below and "fine tuned" springs (I prefer Moog 5660 up front with a quarter to half a coil cut but thats another...

Since my "car season" is opposite from most of you guys, I havent been able to work on the car much in a few months. 112+ highs in the summer here in AZ make working outside a death wish. So in the mean time I've been hoarding parts here and there and chipping away at the list of things I want...

It dont bother me much, given its got a style tied to a specific car scene. But what kills me is the mirror swap. Did the work to do it but didnt use the right bases or shim it and the mirrors are at the wrong angle and sag. All the time and effort into this car and they cut that corner. Doesnt...

So far I have the fender to rad support braces, F41 jounce bars, Grand Prix bar, radiator cross bars and the F41 sway bar up front. Rear seat has the added braces behind it as well, I dont know for certain if thats because I have a T Top, because its an 88 and they were just dumping the last of...
