On another (non-G body) site, I saw this thing where people [desiring to ship something] post where they are sending things from and to; Then, someone from the message board that will be going that way takes it for a fee. We should set something up on...

    Part & terminal ID

    ID this black square part, and the purpose of this harness terminal? Terminal is in my 1980 Malibu Classic. Was a 229 V6. I believe this connection went to a coolant temp sensor screwed into the water neck?

    I'm digging, coming up empty so far...have an '80 Malibu. Swap nearing completion, and wondering about how to mount P/S pump. Taken out was the 229; Put in 1970s 350. I see the stock P/S brackets for the 229 won't work on the V8. My engine doesn't have those two lower holes (to the left of...

    Correct Throttle Bracket Needed

    Hey guys, I am completing my 80 Malibu V8 swap. Digging through my 25+ years of parts (pretty well organized, believe it or not) and I see I don't have the proper throttle/kickdown combo bracket.

    notched factory crossmember frame attachment

    I'm mounting a TH350 in an '80 Malibu with a factory notched xmember. When attaching to the frame on each side, everything lines up like I knew it would. Do I need to put any spacers between the crossmember and the frame? My car had a half-inch rubber pad there on both sides. There was a tapped...

    Removing Windshield Scratches

    Does anyone know of a method to remove those pesky wiper scrapes from a windshield? My '80 Malibu has one from the lovely PO at the bottom side of the passenger wiper path. It's deep enough to catch a fingernail in it, and about 12" along the curved path. :|

    Malibu headlight issue

    Hey- I have an '80 Malibu and the brights and reverse lights do not work. I haven't had the chance to look at the schematic to see if they are a related problem or not. One thing so far I can say is- when pulling back the signal lever (as if to put the brights on), it feels sloppy-no switch...

    Front springs with V8 in Malibu

    In my swap, I'm not sure which springs to get. I read the table with the spring rates but it's still confusing. How do you measure the weight of the front end? What springs are you guys using? I'm thinking of going with the Moog 5608. That came up on Summit for my car. Reading the table, I saw...
