    Dealer Installed G-body Options/Upgrades

    I also had a 79 4-speed/305 Malibu with among the other scarce options was a digital AM/FM stereo-as far as I know only Malibus/Elcos with either Motorola CB's or the digital stereos got the automatic antenna. It was pretty rare to find a 78-80 Elco or Malibu especially with a factory power...

    Dealer Installed G-body Options/Upgrades

    Well almost a factory option but was cancelled at the last minute-the "new" 1978 Monte Carlo body style was supposed to have an aluminum hood but GM axed the deal on it with Alcoa due to high costs in forming them. A handful of the production ready prototype hoods ended up in the scrap bin only...

    Passenger window doesn't work

    That diagram is very misleading-apparently the only one that seems to pop up on Internet searches show the same one-it is 1978 only. 1979-88 have a black wire to the switch which grounds under the dash on a ringlet along with the other grounds above the kick panel under the 10mm machine screw...

    Passenger window doesn't work

    Yes, the LH master switch black grounds the entire system since all switch wires (except pink!) are grounded @ rest. So at rest, probe continuity between the black on the LH switch with the tan, blue/wht, blue and brown. Whichever one shows none is the open circuit. The motors are wired as...

    What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

    I built a prototype reproduction window harness for my 80 Monte. I already built them with express down but I wanted to see if I can add express up as well-it took some work but I got it done and tested. Now to see about adding it to the sunroof next-I hate having to hold the dang button constantly.

    Alternator selection

    Here's (2) rare 140A GM alternator brackets I have in stock as well as a standard bracket showing what it looks like with my 140A adapter bracket kit installed-either setup allows for an easy upgrade to a 140A alternator. I have quite a few GM serpentine bracket/pulley kits in stock and I stock...

    Alternator selection

    If you plan to upgrade to a 140A alternator and use your existing bracket, you'll need a bracket adapter like this so you can literally drop a 140A alternator in place and bolt it up. I make these brackets using a Bystronic press brake and they are laser cut 11ga carbon steel. I etch prime them...

    Volvo fan controller

    That is quite rare indeed if yours truly is a Mark VIII fan with two speeds. The RF T-bird fans look identical and are 2-speed. The Mark VIII all have a white plugin while the T-bird fans have black ones. Either way, if it dual speed, I've used the Volvo relays to run them with no issues. Its a...

    Volvo fan controller

    Mark VIII fans aren't dual speed. Roughly 1984-96/97 series Volvos usually had the relays. I've seen them on models throughout those years.

    dual fans

    Keep in mind the Dodge wiring for the fans is in series-unlike any junk aftermarket fan hut far more reliable. You will need to chassis ground both black leads, then there is usually a green and a yellow lead-powering either one alone gives you low speed, powering the 2nd one gives you high...

    Dual fan controls

    I'm don't believe Siemens Group builds aftermarket fans-OEM only as far as I know with respect to engine cooling fans. I prefer Motorcraft fans moreover than most aftermarket. My harness uses 3 fixed resistor coils attached in series. Using 2 temp switches and four relays, voltage is varied by...

    Dual fan controls

    Hah...I'm not surprised they didn't reply. Nothing is free and a fan that is supposedly a 2900 CFM fan I'd expect to see about a 16-18 amp draw IF its an efficient design. Non matter what anybody says, all the aftermarket fans are crap. Nobody offers a dual speed fan whether in a single fan, or...

    Headlight harness for higher wattage H4 bulbs

    There are two types: dual 87 terminals are just dual outputs once 86 is triggered. 87A is tied to 30 until the field collapses by triggering 86-then 87A is dead. You still need 2 relays for each low and high beam. I terminate mine using the dedicated relay bases also.

    Headlight harness for higher wattage H4 bulbs

    I stock HD commercial grade 40A Tyco relays as one of the relays I use in my harness kits. I can offer them at $8 ea. plus shipping. They are rated @ 500,000 switching cycles for 30A and 250,000 cycles @ 40A.

    ATT: DRAG RACERS...new product!

    I was wondering if there is any interest in a serpentine mount bracket kit for a Moroso style vaccum pump? I was thinking of having about 10 or more kits routed on the CNC-10 or more kits gets the price for one down to $210 each. They look like this: I had a lot of interest in this bracket...

    Ever try to find a car you sold??

    Here's one of my Montes I sold about 8 years ago...oddly, I'm on every board and since I sold it, I've never been able to see a pic floating somewhere of it or seen anybody with it-no idea where it's at...when I sold it the guy who bought it was taking it to SD. I took a hit on it and let her go...
