Adapters in the catalogs usually run almost three times that. I would question the quality and the material for that price. For example, Vette Brakes wants $150 for a pair including acorn-style nuts instead of the standard open nuts shown in the pic.

Welcome to the CAC!! To answer your question, GM did not keep any records of cars with specific options/color combinations. The link shown will give you some information on how many cars were sold, how many F45 packages were installed, how many manual trannies, and the various color...

Don't believe that the OD and manual trannies have a number that matches the car's VIN. Some early C4's that had OD problems under the warranty may have gotten a replacement OD unit or an entire tranny assembly so even if there was some identifying number, it would have gone away had the dealer...

Ethelyne Glycol (green) coolant is the stuff to use in your '90. Most all of the anti-freeze makers now have a "generic" EG coolant that works for all-airn motors or iron/aluminum. Prestone coolant is now a yellow color and it will work fine. Just do a complete flush of your cooling system to...

Here's a link that may help troubleshoot the noise. Click on the buttons at the top of the page. http://www.5speeds.com/nash.htm This page describes the differences in operation of the 4+3 between the 84-88 models: http://www.5speeds.com/43table.htm The OD unit can be expensive to replace...

FWIW, Bilstein can easily replace the shock rod as part of their rebuild process. A lot of folks with the FX3 wide up with the gear on the shock rod broken and Bilstein won't simply replace the little gear (or sell it alone). They install a new rod and effectively rebuild the entire shock with...

FX3 was available in two forms. You could get FX3 with the base suspension (FE1) or if the car had the Z07 performance suspension, FX3 was part of that package. FE1 springs were softer and the sway bars were smaller. The Z07 had stiffer springs and larger swaybars. The FX3 shocks were the...

The plate opening works but you also have to remove the backup lights. Small hands help going thru there. You can get a small 10mm socket in there. When I was wiring up my trailer hitch on my 87, I decided to replace the bulbs. Turned out they were all original bulbs!! The grease they...

From what I hve read it is almost a plug-and-play deal. Get the HUD, the surround trim and the harness. Depending on the car year, the dash assembly already has a connector on it.

Guess it comes down to what the laws are relating to insurance and vehicle safety are in Mexico. I would not stand for anything that is rebuilt or remanufactured when it comes to a safety issue like wheels. You may wish to contact an attorney that deals with insurance claims or issues related...

Thanks!! The one section where I didn't look!! :duh

I'm getting a 2002 EB C5 coupe and the owner says he ordered the car new with RPO 1SC. Tried to look for information on what is included in the various option packages but I have not found any detailed list of items included in a option package. So what's in 1SC?? The car does not have the...

Raising the rear up on a two-wheel dolly will drop the nose to the point where it could scrape on the ground and the air dam would most likely drag on the pavement. Never tow a RWD automatic car with a dolly as the rear wheels will turn components in the tranny and if the (engine-driven) front...

OD operation is based on coolant temps. The OD unit will not engage until coolant temps reach approximately 120 to 176 degrees depending on the year. If your car sits outside in the sun, the coolant may fery well reach 120 degrees even though the car hasn't run that day. Then the OD could engage...

Our shop charges $77/hr for labor and the 3.8 is what we quote for labor time. That would be around $300 for the install and alignment. A reman rack from AC Delco retails at $574 (locally) and one from ARI (American Remanufacturers Inc.) retails for around $230. Our local sales tax is 8.4%...

Hopefully the work won't cost anything if you had the recall done. Sounds like it didn't work correctly. I would get a Column Lock Bypass and not worry anymiore!!

1992 was the first year for the LT1 and all LT1's and LT4's got Mobil-1 synthetic oil as the factory fill. The major reason for using synthetics was that the oil cooler in the earlier L98 motor was deleted for cost and weight savings when th eLT1 was designed. Going to a synthetic allowed a...

I got a chance to look over the Grand Sport "clone" when it sat in the paddock. Very neat job and it looks like it would be lots of fun to drive. The "real" #2 (Chassis #3) Grand Sport was owned by a gentleman in the Seattle area up until about last year. He regularly drove the car in...

The hardest plugs on the right side is the #6 and #8 plugs. Use a socket with a hex-head end and use a box-end wrench on the socket to get the plugs loose. On the left side, remove the center and rear part of the lower wheelwell housing and the plugs are pretty much a straight shot. Having...
