    MONTE CARLO 6L80e question

    I'm preparing to do a 5.3/6L80e swap in my '88 monte carlo. I was hoping to get a nicer looking Holley shifter instead of the stock 4 speed auto shifter the car came with. How exactly would that work? This is the shifter I was planning on getting - (shifter) I saw a thread somewhere here that...

    MONTE CARLO Grant steering wheel issue

    My dad and I just tried to install a Grant custom steering wheel and are having electrical issues now. We took the stock wheel off with a puller, and after following the instructions, the hazards (exterior only) and side markers started flashing as well as the horn beeping as if a door was...

    MONTE CARLO Horn isn't working

    I'm in the process of trying to figure out why my horn doesn't work. Looking in the engine bay, there are two nonstock horns with wiring from an owner before me. The horn worked prior to the car being dropped off to be painted. When the horn button is pressed down, it does not beep. Also, the...

    Center cap questions for new rims

    I just ordered a set of these rims for my '88 MC SS, and was unsure what center caps would fit on these. Do the stock caps fit or do I need to order different ones?

    Dip Stick tube issue

    I just had my oil changed yesterday, and while I was driving home, a loud (louder than the exhaust) ticking noise starting coming from somewhere in the engine bay. When I got home, I narrowed it down to the tube that holds the dip stick. Is this an easy fix to tighten it up, or should I go back...

    LED Headlight question

    I saw these headlights (link and screenshot below) a lot on other g-bodies and even f-bodies, does anyone here who has them have any feedback on them? I was thinking of ordering a set but I wanted to do some research on the work needed to set these up.

    I recently got a 2” Harwood cowl fiberglass hood and wanted to switch to gas struts to avoid bending the hood from the stock springs. What length have people on here used or recommend?

    88 monte front blinker/running light issue

    I just replaced the bulbs for my blinkers because my right running light was out. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but with 2 new bulbs, I now have no blinkers or running lights. When I move the stock for the blinker, the right indicator just stays on. I just got a cluster from autometer so that’s...

    1988 monte ss running lights

    Are the running lights for the Monte on a different line than for the blinkers? I realized only one of my orange running lights turns on, but both will work as blinkers and hazards. Is it an easy fix?
