I am in the need of new wheels for my 1987 MC ls, and I happen to have a set of Original 15" ss2 wheels from a 1972 Oldsmobile. Would they fit on my Monte? They both seem to have the same bolt pattern.....?

Ok there doesn't seem to be anywhere on, or under the distributor that this wire can plug into. There are 2 connections on the side of the dis. cap. One has a 2 wire connection that plugs into the coil, the other connection has multiple wire that all go into one of the main wiring harnesses. I...

Ok sounds pretty straightforward. My next question is what, if any, issues could having this unplugged be causing? The engine overall runs pretty well, some rough idling, little bit of lag, maybe some missing. But overall pretty good. The lack of accelerator response was concerning me when I...

Sounds good, I'll start spraying on the nut buster. Hopefully it won't snap off like the one on my Cutlass' 455 did. I will report back what I find!

I have a 1987 MC LS I'm cleaning up, and today I was going over the engine replacing a bunch of vacuum lines that were horrible cracked, some completely torn open. I figured I was having some vacuum issues when I noticed some weird things like no matter how hard I mashed on the gas pedal, it...

I was going over my 1987 MC LS's engine today, making sure all the hoses and wires were tight and clean, and I came across a white/off white wire with a brown clip in connector, that wasen't plugged into anything. It is coming out of the plastic encased wiring harness right behind the...

I have a 1987 Monte Carlo ls I got about a month or so ago, and am still in the process of tuning it up as it seems like everything is completely original to the car ( except new plugs, wires, basic maintenance stuff). The one thing that is greatly concerning me is that my oil pressure gauge is...

Oh one other thing.... What are those black, springloaded paddle looking things at the bottom of the door jambs? Are they a popper to assist in opening the door or something? I noticed today that the one on the drivers side, the door I'm having issues with, is broken off. What are they and are...

Alright all fixed!! All I did was pop off the upper half of the inner door panel and the door opened. Weird. Then after examining the latch, it looked like the pawl(?) in the latch had staked over the edge some, I guess from it being slammed against the striker so hard when it had bound up. So I...

Wow 18 gallons.... So I only had about half a gallon in there. Good thing I stopped and filled up! What kind of gas milage should I expect out of this tired little 6 cylinder?

Awesome, thanks for your advice guys. I will try and get the panel off and see what I can do.

Yeah I tried the Dukes o Hazard entry on my 1972 Monte. Let's just say anyone who thinks about doing that must remove the lock knob first. That was an unpleasant surprise the first time I did that. Anyway is taking off the inner doorpanal a big pain? Everything is mechanical, no power anything...

So I have had my 1987 Monte for a month or so, and drove it around here and there while I'm sprucing it up. I THOUGHT I was getting really good gas milage because according to the fuel gauge I have barely used a quarter of a tank of gas, but after calculating that I am in all likelihood not...

Man I am having a crappy day. I am getting into fixing the drivers door on my 1987 Monte, mainly the pin and bushings that are causing sag and tough closing. So I went up to advanced today to get some pins, and walked out empty handed because of the 20 different Gm rebuild kits they had, the...

Ok this is one of if not the biggest issue I have found with my newly aquired 1987 Monte LS. The column shifter does not seem to be attached to the orange gear selector "arrow" in the dash, so I cannot tell what gear I am in. The arrow will jump slightly when shifting, but never gets out of the...

After doing some cleaning on my newly acquired 87 Monte lS, I noticed that the quarter panal and tailight emblems (which both look like the same emblem) are pretty chipped and faded. They are hurting the overall look of the car (besides the half chipped/half Rustoleumed paint job, and also the...

Most quicky sign shops ( signs by tomorrow, fastsigns ect.) have the ability to make little decals, either printed or vinyl. If you take a file, drawing, or just an idea up there, they should be able to help. Just be careful because they are all franchises and one store may not be as good as...

Has anyone used any of the column locks for their Gbody? If so which one? My 87 Monte is still a turd, but with the window window sweeps being gone, you could stick anything in there and open my manual doorlocks. I am pretty good with not leaving anything of value in the car, because there is no...

I have a couple old war rifles, including an old Mosin Nagant sniper rifle, also a 1917 Colt .45 army revolver, nickle plated 8" barrel with rosewood grips. But my favorite by far is a nickle plated mid '70s Mossberg 500 police riot gun....chambered for 3" magnum shells. This tiny thing kicks so...

I hear you Gbody, life has an annoying way of getting in the way of our fun. We are not in your exact situation, and can flap our gums all day long, but in the end you need to do what's best for you and your family. I'm sure you shouldn't have any problem selling it, it looks like a pretty sweet...
