Hey guys I'm new to the forum so first off thanks for having me!
I'm having a few problems with my Malibu that I picked up in February. I've done a few mods since then. I've put on headers, mufflers, 650 summit carb and intake. With all this effort I still have some underlying problems.
1. I...
So, hello everyone! I'm new to the forum, since I recently obtained a 1978 Grand LeMans (hence the totally original ID) with a 305, and its almost fully loaded... but its still missing a couple options that I'd like, and others that just need to be replaced. It's all minor trim, but hey...
Hi everyone, I just liberated my grandmother's 1979 Chevy Malibu coupe from its garage down in Seaford, Delaware, where it sat for the last 22 years. It's the classic grandma's car: 3.3L V6, AT, AM radio, manual windows and locks - and only used to drive around town. The only option it has is...
My temp gauge is stuck in the lowest possible reading all the time, i have the sport dash with the temp, volt, and oil gauge in a 1980 Malibu. I looked through some videos on youtube and everybody suggested that a ground wire on the engine-block was usually the cause when gauge is stuck at...
Hello, I have a question regarding the optional electric antenna, I wasn't sure if I should post this in the electrical forum or body and trim so please feel free to move this if and as necessary.
Several years a go I decided I wanted to repair or replace the original broken electric antenna. I...
Hello, first off let me apologize for creating a new and rather lengthy thread on a delay wiper conversion, I have browsed through various posts and utilized the search feature of this form. I find a lot of information regarding the conversion for an 80 and later conversion with the single green...
The 7.5 rear end in my '80 Malibu Coupe needs a rebuild. I'd like to just swap in a complete functioning rear-end from a donor car to keep my car running and driving while I go through the process of rebuilding the original rear-end. Are all G-Body rear ends swappable, or do I need to look for a...
I have a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS and I just bought an Avital alarm system that I intend to install myself. I need to know what wires to splice or tap for the starter, horn, lights, door switches, electric locks, and electric trunk release. I've installed audio equipment numerous times in...
Hello,
I have a 1981 Malibu Classic that had the 4.3 v6 and upgraded it to a small block 350. I took out all the smog and emmisions. When I did this i still had heat, but it wouldn't switch over from vents to defrost and etc. That was fine, but I would like to know how to fix that.
But that's...
I want to convert my 1980 Malibu project to a manual transmission. The car currently has the original TH200 and a swapped 305 SBC. I found a 1992 GMC S15 Sonoma with a factory 5-speed V6 but it's far away and I'd like to know if it's a feasible swap before I look at it.
I don't know the...
Been on this site for about a week and love helping out all gear heads with anything and everything! I'm looking forward to networking. My current ride is a 79' malibu that I am trying to sell unfortunately because I have been building an LS powered monte in my head for about 10 years. My...
Last week I had my car through inspection and the car got one fault "right rear, wheel bearing". And so I was happy to know I only had this one thing to fix. I read up on how to replace a wheel bearing of course, however upon getting to pull out my rear right axle part (the one you mount the...
This build came about as a gesture by some friends, family, and other car nuts. I have severe health issues stemming from Crohn's diseases with induced Rheumatoid arthritus. I draw photo realistic pencil art of muscle cars and classics as a way to cope.
I spent most of last yr in the hospital...
Hey guys first post. As I'm just starting to restore my car I figure I'll be on here a lot so I wanted to introduce myself. My name is mwa206 and my whole life practically I've wanted a 79 Malibu wagon. I've had several other g-body's before but this is the one I've always wanted. It started...
