So as the title suggests, I am trying to figure out what exactly is going on with my Monte. It's the 1985 Monte Carlo with the 4.3l v6 tbi. The issues I'm running into are always at startup after the car has been sitting for a few hours or more. Whenever I start it after its been sitting, the...

So today my CEL came on and was throwing error code 32 and 34, and when i checked the MAP sensor, I noticed the vacuum hose that goes from the MAP sensor to the TBI was cracked. I have the 4.3l v6 TBI engine. Google isn't really helping me on finding a replacement hose, and I can't seem to find...

I have a 1985 Monte Carlo SC with the 4.3L TBI motor and I was looking to put an open air cleaner on it. Its purely for looks, I'm not after performance. I want to keep the original engine in there (the car has sentimental value so I don't want to change much). I've been looking online but...

Hey guys I have an old 305 in an 83 Malibu, I plan on pulling it and putting in a 350 over the winter so it's alright if it's toast. I've only been into the hobby for a few years and this is the first knock/noise I've had so I'm lost on what's causing it. Ran good all last year and used it as a...

Hey, y'all. I spent probably a couple hours taking my steering wheel off and the column apart a little to remove and replace my turn signal switch (actual electronics, not lever). I went to put the wheel and such back in reverse order and found that my wheel moved around... a lot. Definitely...

Hello all, I recently posted about some tach troubles. Well I have it all in the dash, mock jumper bar and everything. Signs of life, but no life. When ign is on, it jumps to zero, so I know it’s getting power. When I start the car, no rpm’s show up. I can tap the needle and it’ll go back to...

Alright, so I’m in the midst of swapping my clock for a tach. Everything’s going fine so far, apart from having to repair the circuit board. My only other problem I’ve run into is that I don’t seem to have this little red piece that supposedly goes in the back of the tach? Not sure to be honest...

I need some help: I have a ls 5.3 with the cts-v oil pan. It is in the car (gbody) but is not aligned straight. One side of the engine is further back and will not slide forward because it is hitting the frame on the where I believe the oil cooler mounts. Has anyone else had this issue? Any...

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this forum. I've used posts and FAQ's to see answers to my questions over the past few years but I've finally made the dive to create an account and to ask a few things. I have a bone stock 1985 Cutlass supreme with a 307 that's never had any major work done to...

The time is coming soon to paint my cutlass and I’m having a very hard time deciding what colour/colours to paint it I was thinking a high gloss white originally being as I have the bluey/green stock interior, kinda limits me to choices for exterior paint but I think I’d like to go 2 tone just...

I’m currently in the process of hooking everything back up after my recent engine/ transmission swap. I’m using all the stock A/C parts, but when taking everything apart I broke the line going from the condenser to the evaporator. I can’t seem to find a replacement ANYWHERE! If anybody knows a part...

My tank was leaking and I ordered a replacement from O’Reilly’s, said direct fit. Tried to install and the tank straps seem to be too short for it? Can I get longer straps that fit, or modify the tank in some way? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys, so I thought I’d get some advice on my first problem. I bought a 78 monte with shaved handles, the shave job actually looks really clean. The problem is the person who did that never installed solenoids or anything. There is that emergency cable in the fender that can open the door if...
