Loving every details on it!(y)(y)(y) Congrats

Big Congrats!! How did you find a matching color Toronado steering wheel?:notworthy: My Achieva wheel in blue was pure luck .

While my 81 Monte was down, I had a 86 Mark VII LSC. That car was great. Wasn't as fast as the Monte (It had a SB 400) but it did everything else fantastic. It had 4 wheel disc, EFI (Though only a 2 barrel ), and the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. (I'd kill to get a pair today and put...

This is what I found when I pulled the transmission back.

I never heard of it either. But I had one and it was in one of the clutch kits I bought a few years back. Then I saw it listed in the parts stores. It was a National part number 614083 They call it Self-Aligning. A few other companies carry these bearings too. The bearing moves independently...

Just another first. I heard the squeaking every time I pressed on the clutch since October. I thought the bearing was bad. I checked it and it was fine. I would never have guessed that it was grinding away the fingers of the clutch. I installed a stage 2 clutch and it feels feather light at the...

Update: Slave cylinder working fine. Lesson learned, a stage 3 clutch and a self adjusting throwout bearing don't mix.

Re My system was running when i purchased the car in '04. I resealed the box in '09 while replacing the heater core. The seals looked a lot like those. I converted to R134a in '06 and my compressor failed in '16. In '17, I replaced the system with all new parts except the Evaporator and the...

One more important thing to know is if the system failed, you want to know why and how. For example, if the compressor blew, You will definitely be replacing everything down the line. The orifice tube filter will tell you if it caught the shrapnel from the compressor, if so, chances are the...

That's an insane price. I did it and I'm well under 1000 bucks. Mostly everything was used. Of course there were 3 parts that I custom made. The pedal, the recent slave cylinder bracket ( I'm a ex Hyd T/O bearing user. ), and the trans mount. I never looked back. The T56 is on the horizon. T

Awesome!!!

In my OPINION. I'd sell the Chevy and put in a big block Olds. I have no clue where these guys are getting the Idea that a 455 with a good cam and intake will be out powered by a non-race spec 400sbc. That 400 will have to "SPIN" (above 6500rpm ) to out power a BBO. (Always with the Olds bashing...

Update. I had to change out my yoke because one of the strap bolts snapped off while I was changing the clutch hydraulic systems. I cleaned up the one from the 7.5 and flipped them with little oil loss. Just drove it yesterday for 40 miles on the highway and then checked to see how much heat the...

LS Customs did this swap and detailed it. https://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=41067#.UHvitcXA8WI

Unfortunately yes. Lol, I'm that nut-case that will turn a 20 min job into a 2 hour job because a bolt isn't in the right place.

Lol, I'm just the opposite. I have things in my head I wist I could forget. (For instance I'd like to forget that I know how to take apart a F-4 Phantom. That was over 35 years ago.)

I remember. We had this discussion back in '13 when you first told me about the Howe. I welded a nut to the head of a bolt and used a threaded rod that I could adjust to the firewall and it was bolted to the clutch pedal.

Welcome from Virginia. Clean Cutlass!!

I did, but it bent and I never fixed it because I never even came close to bottoming the master cylinder out. With the Howe the moment I pressed the pedal, the clutch was starting to disengage. It used about 25% of the full pedal travel. Funny you mentioned it because I may need to fix it now...

Driving impression. The Howe unit gave me a very heavy pedal feel, but it was almost instant clutch release. The mechanical advantage the clutch fork gives lightened my pedal feel greatly. It feels like the last F-body I drove. (A 96 Z28 Camaro LT1 6spd ) I have to get used to it again. T
