    Lets See Those 2-tone cars!!!

    I personally love the factory 2-tone G-body's. Particularly the 84-85 Monte Carlo base coupes that had the 2-tone that covered the Hood, roof/landau roof area. Let's see them please!

    What muffler would you recommend?

    Flowmaster Super 44.Both of my Monte Carlo's started life as 4.3 cars. I know them well. I think the Flowmaster gives that engine it's best chance to sound good. The Super 40 is great also. Here's a couple of clips of expected sounds.

    Can anyone identify this horrendous rattling noise?

    So slamming the door didn't help but I tapped the cats with a rubber mallet and I'm fairly certain it's the drivers side cat. You can hear similar rattling. I'm going to inspect the flexplate one more time tomorrow to rule that out for sure.

    Can anyone identify this horrendous rattling noise?

    Yeah I’m going to check them out now. Definitely sounds like converter area.

    Can anyone identify this horrendous rattling noise?

    '85 Monte SBC, 200r4 with column shift. It just started one day. Goes away occasionally but has gotten worse. I thought it was the column shift link bar because it touches the headers but I can use a screwdriver to move the shift link away from the headers and it still does it. Does it while...

    Reproduction parts

    I agree on the quality point. Also at least they're trying. I think our G-bodies are at least getting the respect and attention they deserve. Also agree on Mike's Monte's.

    Finally have a headlight out. Looking for upgrade recommendations

    Exactly. And I have a nice Delco radio with good reception and I wouldn't want to trash that. I do enjoy my FM radio.

    Good choice. Now don't let her collect dust. Get out there and cruise!

    Finally have a headlight out. Looking for upgrade recommendations

    All lights should aim slightly to the right and slightly down so we're not all blinding each other. A lot of my cruising is done on long, single lane, semi-rural roads so I definitely don't want to punish the oncoming drivers. Studies show drivers will tend to drift into excessively bright light.

    Yeah the H4 style kits use a relay so you are using direct batter power.

    Finally have a headlight out. Looking for upgrade recommendations

    I know my sealed beams are ancient do they probably weren't working near 100% capability, but I live in a semi-rural suburb where dear at dusk are common. I need better vision, especially competing against these crazy new cars.

    Some of these modern ones create a cool look and are tempting, But I just don't know if I can commit to it.

    I never did the 'I had a kid so I have to be boring now' thing. I don't get it. Never will.

    Finally have a headlight out. Looking for upgrade recommendations

    Yeah I'm not a big fan of the ridiculous brightness of LED headlights. Especially that horizontal beam they create. You go over bumps and it's like you're just blinding everybody with these flashes. Although some of the news designs are better and pretty cool looking.

    Why is it just collecting dust?
