Finally getting around to this swap. Picked up some loaded S10 lower control arms to swap onto the Monte. I have searched and read through previous posts but cannot get a definite answer. I need to know what size bolts are needed to mount these to the G body frame. I have read 1/2" bolts but...

Kevin was great to work with. Column I got from his was exactly as described and very well packaged. Thanks!

So my tachometer has never been right since I’ve owned the car. It floats around 1K RPM when the car is off. When it’s running it’ll sit at that 1K until they RPMs get there then go to about 2500 and then fizzle off. I read through this fix from another forum...

Finally getting around to installing my glass again and found that the glass is catching on my door lock actuator. I’ve never had this all together at the same time so this is the first time I’m seeing this. I’m thinking I put the actuators on the wrong side and they should be flipped 180...

I’m a sucker for adding options that didn’t originally come with our cars while still using GM sourced parts. Here’s a quick write up on how I upgraded to power mirrors on my Monte Carlo SS. This is specific to Monte Carlos for the most part because of the mirror housing. Edit: Corvette, Camaro...

What hardware has everyone used when adding a Grand Prix bar to a car with the F41 suspension bars already? The mounting points at the front line up with the F41 bars but the bolts appear too short to fit both and still have enough threads in the nut. What particular nuts/bolts/washers has...

Any suggestions on wiring used to make harnesses? I’m looking to complete my temp/compass mirror as well as power outer mirrors and a couple other little stuff. Is there local stores worth checking for or is everyone ordering from online? Looking to make up some harnesses for interior as well as...

Im in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. Looking to register and run my 1988 Monte Carlo soon. Stock set up with AIR pump, Cat, all stock emissions stuff. I passed emissions testing last year with all the stock stuff so I'm not worried about doing that again. My question is specifically for Arizona...

I made the mistake of leaving my battery connected in my car as it sat in storage for over a year. As expected it was beyond dead when I went to start it last week. I pulled it and put it on a 2amp trickle charge two days ago and it didn't move on the gauge and read at 0.13 volts when I took a...

I have an 88 Monte Carlo SS and am looking to order the right kit to install a single DIN aftermarket radio in the stock location. I’ve heard mixed things about the Metra 99-4644 kit and no clear answer if it works or does not work as intended. My radio cover is the standard Monte Carlo with the...

Looking for additional info on using a Blazer rear sway bar on our G Bodys. From my research on the forums here I have concluded that the rear bar from a 98-05 Blazer 2DR is what will work. I understand to get all of the mounting hardware but I am wondering how the linkages will mount to the...

Hey guys. I’m finally getting a place to work on my SS in the next month or so and am looking to hoard some parts I know I’ll want in the near future. When I purchased the Monte the antenna was gone. I overlooked it but didn’t realize the condition it was in until I got home and did a better...

Great seller. Responded very quickly and answered all questions, provided photos as requested. Fast shipping and easy to work with. Would buy from again.

All jokes aside, what is this hole in the firewall for? I’m looking at the hole that’s to the right of the steering shaft in the first picture. Second picture is from the interior. Previous owner had an amp wire coming through it and covered it with a piece of duct tape. You know, because that’s...

I've always liked this warning light stack in the MC/EC cluster. Has anyone ever modified or used the top three blank spots for other warnings or indicators? I know the Buick gauges have the ability to add the low fuel warning but Im unsure if that's possible on this cluster as well. Anyone with...

I've read through a few of the column swap threads and used the search bar but I'm still not finding an exact answer. I have a 1988 Monte Carlo SS with a non tilt column with 2 speed wiper and no cruise control. I've seen Cadillac vehicles of the same vintage that have tilt/telescoping...

Hello all. Can anyone identify this console and bucket seats? I snagged this photo from an ad for an 85 El Camino but have never seen this console or bucket seat design before. It appears the console has a raised shifter and then a separated arm rest attached at the rear. Anyone know if it was...

I have an 88 Monte Carlo SS. Previous owner had removed multiple trim pieces and parts from the vehicle. I went to the salvage yesterday and picked up an antenna and windshield trim from an 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme sedan. Went out to quickly mock them up this morning before work so I could order...

Hello! Long time lurker and I’ve finally taken the plunge and got a G Body! My grandpa bought a 1987 Monte Carlo SS back in ‘87 and I grew up with that car. It was white, hardtop with power everything and burgundy split bench. It was the coolest car I’d ever known. My uncle ended up buying it...
