    Chances

    i agree with mike, but would add if you don't have one, you need to get one. it is invaluable at the least! a good source is ebay, just look around at all the auctions to get a feel for the appropriate pricing for the one you need. steve

    Carpet / Seat questions

    just a few suggestions you might want to consider (i just got done receiving all the parts to compeltely redo the interior of my 78. wall to wall, ceiling to floor. it's all being replaced even down to the t-tops.). as previously noted you can use either 2 inch or 4 inch bolsters, you just need...

    when u store a car 4 winter ..

    i always put the car onto four 1/2 inch plywood tire "pads" (about 18" square or so) to elevate them off the concrete floor. personally i don't believe the plastic "tarp" will do very much, but that's just my opinion. i figure unless you encapsule it as someone above mentioned, there is enough...

    WTB- Defroster Duct

    if you are looking for an original used part, you might want to do a search at ebay. if you are talking about the "grill" on the dash top, i believe that will be your only source as it is not being reproduced. if ou are talking about the defroster duct behind the dash, you might want to chek...

    Fuse Box

    i agree that blowing a fuse shouldn't have done anything to prevent the vehicle from starting. destroying one (or more) of the fusable links, however will do that. it is possible that you grounded (shorted) out on of the main leads conncected through a fusable link. if you go onder the car and...

    1979 L82 what to look for when buying

    i agree with mikey, rust is the killer here, and being a canadian car (assuming it spent it's life north of the border) winter treatment would be important to get a handle on. how long has this guy owned the car?? is he just trying to flip it and make a few bucks?? if so, stay away as he...

    Needed: Gear indicator thingy

    i probably have an extra one around if you can wait a couple of days for me to find it. if i can, it's yours if you want it. it won't be brand new, but it will be a genuine GM part and will be in very good to excellent condition if i remember correctly. let me know if you're interested or want...

    Center console Arm rest Cushion ? Yes or No ?

    first thing i bought after i bought my new 93 convert. felt it was a necessary "option" and was loads more comfortable on the elbow than the hard cased console. sold the car, still have the cushion, lol. don't have one for the pace car, but since it is about to have the entire interior top to...

    Build sheet/window sticker

    i don't remember exactly where i got a copy of a genuine GM authorized window sticker for my car, but there is someone out there that will take the information from the dealer invoice and make an exact copy of the window sticker for you from that info. it is on an exact duplicate of the window...

    Pics of my "new" 78 Pace Car

    congrats. i guarantee that you will be amazed at the number of heads that turn as you go down the street. even my neighbors who are used to seeing mine by now still stop and look at it as go by. i am about to rip the entire (original) interior of mine apart very soon also. i have an entire wall...

    1978 L82 heads for 1978 L48??

    i certainly appreciate the input. mikey, i believe you are absolutely correct in that the difference was strickly in the "quality" of the head as it related to valve size. while i realize that CR wouldn't be altered to any great extent, my thinking was simply that it might just help out a bit (a...

    1978 L82 heads for 1978 L48??

    i realize bore, stroke, porting and cam, etc are major components to improve engine performance, however, i have the chance to buy an original set of 1978 L82 heads that have been magnafluxed and shaved at what i perceive to be a resonable price. would changing the heads out on my original 1978...

    what to do?

    register it and enjoy it as you can. it won't snow all winter (i don't care where you live except if you are up in the mountains somewhere). you should get some kind of break in the weather to enjoy it. that said, i know here in florida, there is an additional fee for late registration (after...

    Idle speed

    i would also suggest that if you haven't ever changed the vacuum hoses in the system, you might want to consider doing that regardless of what you find. the hose kit (i suggest the one dr rebuild sells) is pretty easy to install and could be the best $50.00 you spend. one of the problems that...

    Power Windows / Weather Stripping

    . AIM=assembly manual. your glass is a bit out of alignment. the adjustment isn't difficult and is usually needed when new weather stripping or glass has been installed.

    speedometer jumping

    i disagree some what. if the cable is stretched or frayed as mentioned above it will bind in the sheath and could be responsible for an erroneous reading. it could also be something as simple as one of the 4 connection points (at the trans, into and out of the cruise transducer, and into the...

    Front Spoiler - 1981

    just a suggestion, try looking at doc rebuild's site or giving them a call if you can't find the pieces you needon the site. they are really knowledgable and the site is pretty good with digarams (from their printed catalog). one thing is for sure, if they have it it will be the right part and...
