Hello all, I usually can figure most things out in life but this has me stumped and no lie electrical isn't my thing. I have just bought a 87 MC SS and after towing it home and installing a new battery she fired up, the starter missed two times before it caught, so I've already purchased a new...

Hi everybody, I am new to the forum, I am writting back from Ecuador, south America, I have just bought a 1979 monte carlo t-top in a very bad shape and I want to rebuild it.

When installing an A-arm the front bushing fits snug in the bracket but the rear bushing has about a 1/4 gap in it. Basically,Is it supposed to have a gap in it and supported by the front or is there supposed to be spacers in the back bushing?

Hi everyone!! Just made this account. So nice to see that there is so many other people out there with the passion to rebuild these cars. Let me give you all some background about what we have going on. So my dad and I have been buying, selling, rebuilding corvettes for what seems like a...

Hi everyone, I picked up my 87 aerocoupe from a friends back yard a few months ago, and put new battery belts etc on it. Long story short the engine is seized and I'm looking for a 350 4 bolt for it. I found a 350 vortec block, and was wondering if there was any difference between the regular...

After having done some work on my transmission earlier this spring, I checked my fluid level when hot and it seemed to be in range. Just for kicks the other day I checked it cold and it was clearly way above the top full line. I know some recommend these trannies by slightly overfilled due to...

So guys I have a column shift bench seat car and I want a clean way to add about three toggle switches for the car(TC lockup, fans, other) and possibly a gauge or two. I was wondering if I bought a repro breadbox for the early SS if that would be cleanly mounted to a non center console car...

So I pulled my pan in my 200r4 so I could start fixing the problems noted here: https://gbodyforum.com/threads/had-my-rear-end-rebuilt-now-its-exposed-transmission-problems.63268/ And when I pulled the pan I heard '" tink, tink". Never a good sign since I had all of the pan bolts accounted for...

So Ive been messing with the 87 442 off and on through the winter, I had a feeling when I bought it that the car has a few electrical gremlins... Upon purchase the check Engine light was on... I didn't have my dx tools with me, but figured it was nothing major and took a gamble... Found out the...

So plans change a bunch. I originally bought this car for a hundred bucks and immediately built it for the drag strip. Que the Mullets. Ran a best of 13.90 a couple years ago and decided to hang it up. You really gotta pay to play when I comes to performance, and drag racing a turd is boring. (A...

Got 2 86-88 Monte SS bucket seats in pretty good condition today for $75. Pics don't quite do them justice, they are nicer in person. For that price I figure I'll just hang onto them, reupholster them at my leisure and do a bucket project in the future.
