What did you buy for your G-body today? [2024]

[Ugly1]

Yes, 1 piece rear main though. The sump needs to be around 8 inches long or so to fit a G body front stub. I have one already, but it’s for a Camaro front so it’s around 10 inches long.

I will look and see which one it might be if there’s a number

I only drove the Monte Carlo 2 times in the last 2 years. I don’t know or understand how to tune the Holley sniper system and have never really cared for the way the car drove, started, and performed with the sniper system. Well a couple weeks ago I gutted all that out and put it back to a carburetor. Yesterday I changed the fouled out plugs in it. That’s always a fun job with angle plugs and headers. Today I went and got a new battery for it and decided it was time to start tuning the new brawler 650 on the 327. After about an hour of tweaking and a few test drives, this car is running better than it ever has!! No more sluggish take off from a stop, no more hard starts, and now this thing pulls through all 5 gear! Now it’s the car I wanted it to be in the beginning. Time to start looking at dro it a couple inches to get that aggressive stance!!

edit: we I just realized I posted in the wrong thread 🤦

Glad to hear it is running right

I'd guess you spend some money on the tune up parts, plus, battery etc.

If you'd rather it be in the what did I do rather than what did I buy though, I'd be happy to move it for you

Don't you start 🤣

Decided to pick up the replacement head unit last night from someone on Facebook Marketplace

Picked up those 25mm dia captured washer bolts for the air duct on my Monte. Wider washer traps more material and lessens the chance of tear or pull through.

I tell myself to stay off Marketplace, then I find deals like this..
I’ve always wanted a 87/88 front.
Best part about this on… $125.00
I never seem to find them in any condition for less than $8-900.
I do need some parts but I’m super happy for this one.

My interior is coming together pretty well and I cleaned up my original sill plates and they just don't pass muster. I ordered a set of GM Licensed sill plates from OPGI and should have them next week. Have some more SEM paint coming to paint the last 4 interior ceiling moldings too, they will be here tomorrow.

Still have to paint a set of wheels, going with the 14" SSIII's that the car came with and Cooper Cobra 225/70R14 tires. Still have much to do on the punch list but gaining on it. Planning to get a set of Reg plates on it before August is out. The fall season in New England is usually wonderful and I hope to put some miles on it until the snow flies.
