    1984 Pontiac Grand Prix Pittsburgh

    Returned to drive off and found my baby gone! Primer Red, a white nose piece, and silver vinyl will hopefully make it easy to fine.

    Stupid question by stupid guy

    The 350 is a small block chevy, but bit more heavy duty then a 2 bolt. Do you mean 455? The 455 is a buick "big block" engine and can be very expensive to upgrade. I have seen a W-30 Buick convertible with 455 that was running below 12s.

    Floor Shifter for Automatic

    I want to upgrade my existing OEM Floor Shifter with something better, so what would be the best for my Turbo 350 and possible use at drag track after 350+ V8 upgrade. I still want to be able to drive it on the street ;)

    rear spoiler?

    I might be wrong, but I have see pictures of Grand Prix with similar style Spoiler and I would assume that they were a option?

    Yard Find: 442 '86

    Not really, I found the place by accident and follow a truck full of cars back to their place on my way to Millerstown Pull apart. The car would make a good project car from the guy's description and it would be a shame to pull it apart. Why would the rear end by any good if no one saves it?

    Yard Find: 442 '86

    I did not have time to go up into the yard, but one of workers told me that he saved a decent 442 in the back of the place (just north of Pittsburgh, PA). Recommend moving quick if interested, since they seem crush happy....

    HEEELLLLPPPP!!! transmission question

    It is almost a direct bolt on, since I have one in GP right now. Detent cable, metal vacuum line (junkyard car or friend's pile ;), I replaced shift cable to my floor shifter (mine was broke), and I would replace transmission mount (same). Works great and well worth the trouble!

    transmission help!!!

    This might work, a bit of google magic: "The OEM case bushing in vehicles with a THM 400 or 4L80-E transmission tends to ?walk-out? of the housing bore. This allows the bushing to wander into the extension housing, leaves the output shaft unsupported, and may ruin the governor gear. The cause...

    fuel pressure issue

    My friend noticed while working on my carb that there was pressure in the line up to the carb. He removed the cap that I bought recently and the pressure dropped. What would cause that in my 3.8? I have a new mech fuel pump, filters, rebuilt carb, and recently a large section of fuel line...

    I used those plastic ties from Advanced Auto to mount my fan. They have foam pieces to reduce vibration.

    Bucket seat Donor Vehicles?

    Blazer buckets fit with a little work! After measuring and taking off the old brackets, I used a gray with red stripes buckets from an 90's blazer. It required little work for the GP 84 Bucket brackets, but the 40/60 brackets required a bit of yanking to get the front driver's bolt to line-up...

    Bucket seat Donor Vehicles?

    Got a line on gray with red striped buckets from a s-10 blazer with bucket seats that recline (the mechanism looks very much like my GP's).

    Bucket seat Donor Vehicles?

    What car did you get those seats from and what other modern/older cars will work? My driver's seat base is ruined due to rust. What swivel bases did you use? Thanks

    Bucket seat Donor Vehicles?

    What cars will the bucket seats fit my Grand Prix? I was very disappointed at finding a Montey that had bucket seats and it was already stripped at the U Pull It yard! :cry: Need seats that Recline badly, the non-reclining versions will kill my poor back. Thanks for any help!

    Gas Leak?! HELP!!

    We just removed my old patched tank and replace it with a Regal tank that the guy was putting in a newer FI tank. The lines on the "new" tank were good still, but had to plug the third fuel line. We changed most of the gas line with metal brake line (was it 11/16" or 5/16"?) and used 3/8"...

    AARRGGHH, I WILL NEVER GO TO BIG-O TIRE AGAIN!!!!!

    Send a nice letter to corporate level, since the local manager failed to properly handle the situation. Explain the situation and mention that you will tell everyone you know that Big O is a bad place to do business with. http://www.bigotires.com/

    TH400 vs 200-4R

    The TH-350 swap was fairly painless (not including that last bolt ;), just add right detent cable, metal vacuum line, and replaced the floor shift cable as the old one has seen much better days.
