monte carlo ss

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...

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...

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...

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?

Hi all, I’m in the middle of restoring an 88 SS, and I’m looking to replace the part of the trunk that the lid closes in front of. I’ve heard people call it the rear body panel or the taillight panel. I’ll attach a picture, but I also want to replace the metal lip that is under the trunk‘s...

Does anyone know of a way to tighten the gap between the hood and nose cover other than replacing a saggy nose?

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...

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.

Cruising the YouTubes this morning and this pops up. I'm like, "I wonder...." and while I don't speak any spanish past si and carne asada... holy sh*t, here's one in the flesh Chrome mirrors, Pontiac dash, dana rear end (but looks like they replace it with a standard 7.5" ??) , checkerboard...

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?

I'm looking for the l wiring pigtail connector for the Temperature Sensor on the Thermostat housing on a 1984 Monte Carlo SS 305 4Bbl

Does anyone know if the Monte Carlo keyhole crest from the 71/72 years will fit over the keyhole on an 88? I was thinking of ordering the badge but I wanted to make sure.

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...

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?

I have a rebuilt 700r4 transmission in my Monte Carlo ss. The problem I'm having is that it's shifting way too early. I want to know besides the TV cable what is a way to get it to shift properly? Any info/suggestions to try?

I just bought a b&m shifter knob, along with a boot and boot plate. I realized the handle doesn't have a button on it, and obviously the factory one does. Is there a type of bushing or something else I could use to allow the whole handle to move down and act as a button? I assume I'd just...

I have a 400pontiac with Holley 600 carb, Holley red fuel pump and a fuel regulator. The problem I'm having is that when I'm taking off from a stop it hesitate an I'm trying to see why. Do I need to go a size up on the carb, is it getting too much/not enough gas or.... Any thoughts or tips?

So I replaced all my front suspension parts with stock control arms,end links ,tie rods,..etc...I also installed a 1998 GMC Jimmy red spindle and converted to dual piston brakes..but after all of this my car is sitting pretty high in the front now? I didn't change the springs, I added new...
