The seat bases will work on either side- as will the uppers. For a non-power seat, it's the sliders that determine which side is which. :thumb On power seats, the buttons face towards the door on the side they correspond to. So the driver's seat has them on the left and the passenger seat on...

Hi! And welcome to the CAC! :thumb Okay... here's my $.02... 1. I have 2' bolsters now. Will a 4" work in the existing seats? Yes- if you have 4" foam pre-mounted covers. Otherwise... 4" covers on 2" foam is a no-go 2. Are the mounted seat covers a good choice considering the increased...

I remember Ford and all the PINTO problems. Now that was a hot mess. :ugh

Welcome to the CAC!!! If you want to keep everything under the bonnet (hood), you'll probably need a centrifugal supercharger. PAXTON makes those if I recall.

Very nice! :thumb

Or South Africa... just as long as it's a place where extradition is a joke and the courts take bribes. :chuckle

I purchased a GM licensed restoration cable a few months ago. When the car was warm, well... let's just say the cable's metal innards came out of the plastic outer shell and I had to pull the cable from the driver's side as best I could to get the passenger side to release. :ugh I called up...

Welcome to the :CAC ! Yeah- we have some really smart folks here that can help. Hib started off with some great questions. So... to be helpful... you'll need to describe everything you can think of that is going on when when the pop happens. You can copy & paste and then respond right after...

:thumb Love it!!!

Well... I think I have the tune pretty much nailed down. Over the fall and winter, I spent some time nailing a bunch of little things down. Such as tweaking some of the CTS tables and multipliers for when it is cold / hot, adjusting different settings, finally had a dedicated bung welded in for...

The dash receives info from the electrical system. It doesn't pass anything to the ECM. :thumb

Thanks for sharing the pictures! :thumb If I remember correctly... Bud had said he wanted to leave Rare to a niece. Not sure what Nanc wants to do, but she's always welcome here. And if Rare does go to a family member- well, they are welcome here too. I think Remo put a son on that plan...

I had read up on the fan clutches. Seems there are different temperatures and different % speeds for fans. The '82 seemed to have a one year only fan clutch. It also appears that same clutch was used in the both the HD syst and the standard. I have the gymkhana suspension- and my VIN is not...

Mikey- do you think the seven blade fan moves more air?

I guess... what concerns me is a slow creep over 200 degrees and where the stopping point might be- or NOT be! I have a new fan electric fan that I'm going to try. Thank goodness for EBL... I can program it where I want it. :) Also, I have a 7 blade coming. Yes- the "heavy duty" fan. From...

Bill- that's what I figured... the seals were more for directing air while moving. It cools off once I start to move. It will drop almost 20 degrees in a quarter mile. There is a chunk missing from the shroud about 4 inches deep by 6 inches wide at the end of the shroud by the crossmember...

Thanks for the insight, Bill! :thumb Yeah... I am probably a bit paranoid. :ugh The only thing I might be missing at this point are some seals on the sides of the radiator that attach to the support. It was very slow to heat up and has a 180 T-stat and a factory clutch on the fan. The car...

:chuckle ^ Already there- did that last summer! :thumb Yeah, I have that radiator. :D I'm looking to pull a little more air though it. Hence the ask about the 7 blade versus the 5 blade. Sitting in completely stopped traffic today for almost 30 minutes brought me slowly up to 200 degrees...

So, I've seen references for '80-82 Vettes with a "heavy duty" cooling configuration. Was this a combination of a bigger radiator and a different fan or an additional fan? Not sure what that option entailed. Anyone know what that was? ;shrug Eckler's has a 7 blade GM replacement. The OEM...

Bud was just an all around good guy that seemed to bring wisdom, kindness, help, and laughter wherever he went. :thumb I'm fortunate to have known him and to have called him a friend. Thanks for everything, Bud... :pat
