So I had my camera with me the other night and took a few short clips on the way home. this is the only one that's any good. Was raining pretty hard that night. ?v=ftbSjcWBWew&feature=plcp By the looks of it, 2nd gear is hitting to soon.

So been driving the Malibu a bit lately. But it had been using so much gas, you would think it had a 1000 HP big block. Then a week or two ago I happened to run into threetwentyseven and was showing it to him. He did two things. Moved my vacuum line (HEI) from the lower port to the higher port...

I have a quick question for anyone running a 'lumpy' cam on the street. The cam in my engine has some good 'lump' to it. All the way up to about 1600 RPM. When I'm out driving at the speed limit (50KM/h, 33ish mp/h) my engine is just at 1600. So when I'm going any slower than that, it feels...

OK, well my water pump failed and I'm in the middle of replacing it. Then I thought to myself, will all this stuff removed it's a good time to install the transmission cooler. I have never installed one before myself (but I have seen some pretty 'redneckish' installs). So I have read a few...

So yesterday I got the Malibu insured, inspected, and registered. Gave it a quick (and I'm hoping not a very good) tune and took it for a little cruise. Not impressed at all, but maybe a proper tune will help? So it has more power than the stock 305, but not much. Cant even do a brake stand...

Need some help on adjusting my TH350 kick down. The problem I have now is that this spring (circled in yellow) is missing: So with the tab released the cable just slides loosely. My plan is to have someone sit inside and hold the throttle at WOT, release the tab and adjust in manually. But I...

As some of you know my rockers were hitting the sides of my valve covers: u9nifqVOA84 Here is what the valve cover looked like: ZUqzf4xqefA And here is what was underneath. Everything looks good. But not sure if the rockers seem loose or not. I'm not to experienced in adjusting them...

OK looks like I finally have a nice enough day to start working on the Malibu. First thing I'm gonna do is replace the valve covers, I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have no damage there. Then I have to work on my vacuum lines. Need to hook up the one for the transmission, and the one...

So none of the parts stores here seem to have what I need, or if they do it's ridiculously over priced. So I think I might have to make my first real online purchase. Where is a good place to order from Canada? I was thinking Summit. And other suggestions?

OK, so as some of you know I have my car back and hope to have it all done and back on the road in about 3 weeks. So here are some questions I need help with. First here's my set up: -1980 Malibu Classic (original 305/200m with peg leg and highway gears) -7.5 rebuilt (drum to drum) with what...

So I'm bringing my Malibu home today (finally). And the weathers been nice lately so I'm gonna see what I can get done out in the parking lot. Also have a new camera so I'm gonna have some new pics and videos of the car to post soon too. I'm gonna swap the valve covers, and try to get the...

Well after about 2 years, 2 mechanics, 2 insurance companies, close to $10000 and still no drivable car I give up. The car is still sitting at the most recent guys garage. Been over 2 months of waiting for him to adjust my valves, change the valve covers, replace the power steering pump, and...

Well Brock Lesnar is set to make an appearance in my city next month. But not what you might think lol http://www.cjcyfm.com/news-and-info/local-news/brock-lesnar-faces-charges-in-medicine-hat-court-2547/

Anyone her play ConquerOnline? If yes let me know... BUT! If not forget you ever read this. Because it is addictive and sadly more expensive that most of our cars on here lol.

Anyone know off the top of their head what size the bolts that connect the hood to hinge are? That @sshole mechanic left one out on the passenger side of my car.

So I finally get the Malibu on the road today. But that lasted about 10 minutes. Heard a ticking sound so popped the hood to check it out. The driver's side valve cover has a big crack on it (intake side) and pulsates like it's alive. The rockers on that side are hitting. I'm assuming he forgot...

OK, so just had the new B&M TH350 installed. But having a bit of an issue. When I leave it in drive it doesn't really want to shift. It feels like it kinda slips into 2nd, and no 3rd. But if I shift it manually it shifts perfect. As soon as it shifts down, (like when I slow down to take a...

Found a wire in the engine compartment that the mechanic didn't hook up. And I am trying to figure out what it's for, or if I even need it. It comes off some kind of vacuum 'thingy' on the drivers side wheel well, and has a vacuum hose going to the water neck. Here is 2 pics with the vacuum...

OK so should be getting my car back with the new TH350 in it tonight or tomorrow. But I need to figure out my kickdown. Ok so the jerk off mechanic that messed everything up put this bracket on: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-8031/ with an edelbrock carb (yeah... I know. Quadrajet is...

OK, so for you who don't know. My car has a TH250 in it. Had the 305 replaced with a 350 topped with an Edelbrock carb (yeah I know, plans are for a Quadrajet next summer). Was gonna have a 700r4 installed, but lets just say that didn't work out. But when it was part of the plan, the guy put on...
