Sharp Car!!

Sounds like cool rides, I just came back to the Forum Myself after years away..

Your car looks pretty solid underneath. You could Scuff the BM and Go with some Black Rust-Oleum paint, several Thin Coats. If you drove your car out here in Minnesota for a day Surface rust would already have formed.

My Car was bought from Used Ford dealer from a Little old Lady Trade in. I didn't know what was in it until it cracked a head and My Moms Husband( Past Away in 2012) told me to take it to his friend who works on cars.. The guy told me it had a 301 in it but it came with a 265 when it was new (by...

I never take my cars to car shows. One thing its not a show car and never really like car shows unless I go at the end when everyone is leaving. Then you can here the cars run and that's cool.

Nice GP

Parked it for winter. Maybe moving to Nevada next year, then I can drive it all year around:mrgreen:

I use to drive mine all the time when it was my only car and I was in Tech School late 90's -2000's Drove it in a Big Snow storm with Basically Slicks on it, got stuck after about 10 miles and took the original 14inch wheels and tires on it that I had in the trunk for weight on in the middle on...

Could be how you grew up. I have 5 Boy nephews, every time I would visit my sister she would ask me to check out here cars. Here husband in his 40's and is not into cars and he hasn't showed any of the boys even how to change the oil. If you start them young it stays with them. Now they just...

I'm in the process of replacing my Steering Gear Box as well, I was going to go with the 2.25 lock to lock but I chose the one from Autozone that they recommended, its a 3.3 lock to lock. There is also a 3.5 Lock to lock. I'm interested to know how yours will work, what car is yours? I have the...

The Buick 350's have allot of Stroke compare to the other GM 350's. Id say your Torque is 380 -390 range and HP around 320. That's more then what a stock GN was making.

1974 Pontiac Grand Prix I got in the early 90's. I didn't know anything about motors or working on cars, Had a Permit and gave the Guy $400 at a beat up Car lot. Had a "Chrome Out Motor" but not sure what it was, I'm Guessing a Pontiac 400. I even sleep in it a couple times after work cause I...

Thanks for all replies. I'm going to try Fronts are KG4513, rears are KG5548. I might keep the rear Air Shocks, they really keep the rear wheels planted and no wheel hop. I just don't like the front floaty, Bouncy feel, Ill keep you posted after I install them. Pretty sure its the shocks cause...

Thanks

Thanks, I suspect the Monroes or weak but I thought it was my springs. I still like the air shocks out back, they seem keep tire contact well and zero wheel hop.

Thanks I'll check into those.

My car is 1980 Grand Prix Base Model that had a 301 with A/C. There is a 400 in it now with aluminum intake and A/C removed and the Battery is in the trunk now, so the weight I think is about the same but I am bottoming out sometimes and the front kinda Bounces over big dips. I'm Looking to...

Here you go. Due to the front and rear Overhang they are ok, but not many Body parts are Salvageable.

Working on cars by yourself, with no lift is Dangerous. I almost got Killed a couple times. One time, when changing the springs on my Pontiac the car almost Crushed me. Another time when I use to smoke cigars I had just but gas in my Vette and had the Cigar in my mouth while doing it, I grab the...

You could go with a Chevy but Id put a Pontiac Engine in a Pontiac Car. Tons of Chevies. On the good side Allot of parts for the Chevy 350's. If you can find a low Mile Pontiac Car with a 326-455 Pontiac in it, it will fit right in your GP (That's what I did). You can even Buy a remanufactured...
