I was finally able to get the car out of the trailer and start working on the car. We are going to take it to the track in the next week pending we get some bugs worked out. This car came from a guy on Maliburacing.com up in Wichita Kansas. Car came with a 9 inch Ford, 406 SBC , RHS cast...

I had bought these heads brand new off of craigslist last year. The guy bought them and sold the project and they sat on his shelf for ~5 months. The guy gave me a good deal on the heads, fully dressed, along with a team G intake. The intake was gasket matched to the heads, as where the...

I have come across a set of factory gbody trunk shocks. Came off a GrandPrix, not sure of the year. Part number on the shock reads 20469083. On the label; Gas Spring Company Colmar, PA 18915. Have only seen a few pairs of these in my life. Anyone know the value, or if these are rare? I...

Went to the track Saturday and had the V-belt come out two times, the last time we couldn't find it and it ended our night. I am currently running a stock V-belt system only running water pump and alternator. We had the belt as tight as we could get ( I know that's a no no) but it still came...

Last year when I brought my car to the track, 86 Monte, I wanted some sort of shift light. Nothing major; Idea was to have an indicator over the factory tach. I went with a HUGE Monster tach from Autometer. Just mounted to the column with a hose clamp and left it there. Never really liked...

Was bleeding the brakes today to finish off my manual brake swap and all of a sudden heard a pop. The noise was the NEW front brake caliper breaking. Calipers are from speedway motors, here is a link and a picture. Feedback and comments welcome. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Big-Bore- ...

Went to the yard today to get some fans and a jeep shaft. The jeep had '95 on the side of it, so I figured it would work no problems. Got home and tried to install and ran into problems. The splines line up fine but the D-shaped end is completly different. Pics can do the rest of the...

Working on the Monte tonight and was trying to put on my new edelbrock fuel pump. The new pump has the inlet on the back of the pump as the old pump has the inlet and outlet pointing toward the front. Has anyone installed one of these pumps and what did you do. The inlet in the back of the...

Did a search and came up empty. If this has been talked about just direct me in the right direction. What I have is a stock 7.5 rear, untouched. I picked up 4.10 gears cheap NIB and wanted to put them into my rear. What all will it take in order for these to go into my rear. To my knowledge...

Does the cross member and drive shaft from a th-200 all the same for a th-200r4 trans

Car is 78 Malibu Wagon, now with a 383/700r. My question is if any doner car can be used to get the correct driveshaft from. Rear end is still 7.5. Will any other G-body car work with this combo? Motor is still in stock location. Thanks Cory

Just bought a Moser 9" for my Monte. I'm on a strict budget due to school, work, etc.. My question is: My axles are 35 spline, if I get a mini spool and correct gears, will they all fit into a stock 9" 3rd member for now? Reason for doing, I can pick up stock 3rd member for $50 and want to get...

Been on a shopping spree in the past few months, figure I would start a thread. The car is a 1986 Monte Carlo I've had sence I was 16. Car just had the stock 305 and 200r with over 215k on the clock. Here is what I've got in the past couple months: New window rubber Headman Headers with 2 1/2...

Taking the car out for the first trip of the year on Monday. Will leave St. Louis Monday until Thursday for Spring Break camping trip. Going to have the cooler packed for the ~hour and half drive. Can't wait, hope this nice weather holds out for us. Will be certain to post up pictures when I get...

I just found a set of KYB Gas-a-Shock set on a local forum for only $50 for the whole set of 4. The guy said he only had them on a project car, never used for any type of street use. My question is: He said the shocks are roughly 6-7 years old. How long is the life of a gas shock? For only...

Just broke in hinge door on my center console. Hear there was metal hinges out there but I can't find one on Dixie or MikesMontes. Am I just missing them? Can someone point them out? Thanks Cory

Finally convinced my brother to get back out his 78 'Bu so me and him can finish it for this spring. Motor is 383 with Sportman II, Keith Black Pistons. 700r4 trans, soon to be 9 inch rear. Enjoy.
