They work great I pulled my mufflers and installed the monza type tips your talking about. Meineke installed them for me here for 60 bucks and they look and sound awesome. Not to loud when I just cruising around but when I romp on it ohhhh does it sound nice.

damage to other components Also keep in mind that in many states a car cannot be licensed unless it has the proper emmissions equipment. So if you choose to remove some of your equipment you may be reducing your ability to sell the vehicle thus making it worth less on the open market...

Hi everyone I have an 84 that has aged carpeting and seats I saw that Ecklers has some kits in thier catalog but It would sure be nice to get it a little cheaper than Ecklers. Anyone got any suggestions? Billl

I love mine I pout a set of the ZIEX 502 on my 84 and love them. Good traction seem to wear pretty well but with a reasonable price. For all four plus and alignment I gave $560 mounted and balanced and as I said a four wheel alignment

I found it Here is the procedure I used on my 84 it might be different for yours but I hope this helps Basically to replace the vavle seals is a pretty straightforward thing if you dont learn it the hard way like I did. Pretty much with a car that age the seals are probably shot. To replace...

one other thing Make sure that the rubber washers that you replace go on after the valve is compressed but before you put the keepers in or else the whole thing is for nothing. I actually wrote up a procedure for doing this a couple of months ago I'll see if I can find it.

nylon rope method works I have several friends with small block chevys that habe done this with a rope and it worked well. It just takes alot longer than doing it with a compressor. As far as the tool goes I tried the screw in style spring compressor that smurfvet was talking about and found...

I'm soooo disappointed Why does everyone like to dis the 84. I've had my 84 for about a year now I spent 7K and have had to do almost no repairs on it :). When I was looking into purchasing one a friend of mine gave me a piece of advice. "Bill they never made a bad vette." Now that being...

A beer and a couple of hours I replaced mine and I found that a beer and a couple of hours worked. The other thing that worked was to get my 12 year old to stick his arm up there and replace it.

LEDs I was at autozone last week and they are starting to carry the super bright LEDs to work in many applications. This would be way cool if there was one that would fit the dash on the C4. Not only could you have something that lit up but it would be cool and the life expectancy would just...

Jumper wire if you soldered it correctly it would not have blown the fuse. All tou are doing is providing an alternate current path for instead of the high resistance path that was there previously. Just make sure it is well insulated and I 'll bet it fixes your problem also make sure your...

One last thing about emmissions I believe that in Colorado anyway you wont pass emmissions testing eve with an O2 sensor and even with "emmission control" headers its a real PIA here with that stuff. Make sure you keep you manifiolds and head pipes if you go to headers, if you ever need to...

Firebirds were using that mech The firebirds used that mechanism for quite a while and most of the people I knew that had them didnt care for them much. They were pretty unreliable and a hatch that is stuck in the out position doesn't look very nice. (makes you look like you dont even know...

Just keep trying I changed my bulbs last week and all I can say is just keep trying different angles and different arms those bulbs are a PIA (pain in the ??) Just one piece of advice change them all at the same time. The bulbs all have a similar mean time between failure and as soon as the...

WOW This is a huge departure from your previous stuff. First there's a couple of questions to ask. 1. Can a 383 be mounted without ripping the front end of the car to shreds 2. What will it take to couple it to a transmission 3. How will your computer handle this change (it may puke) 4...

emmissions Ugly topic but just remember if you install non emmission headers you may be affecting you ability to sell the car here in the states should you decide to do so. In Colorado a car must be pretty much untouched in regards to exhaust in front of the CAT to be registered. I sure...

just fixed this problem ///i had a tranny leak similar to the one you are describing. It turned out to be the T.V. (throttle valve) cable linkage seal. It is just above the pan on the passenger side and the fluid from it runs down the side of the tans and along gaske t until it reaches the...

I tried the spining method I set my rockers up last week tried that spinning the pushrod method. THREE times finally I gave up and on the advice of many small block chevy lovers just set it while it was running. No special covers no cardboard. Just pulled the valve covers and turned the nuts...

another idea Have you checked your cat? sometimes they can get plugged and not let out any exhaust. The old gosinta/gosoutta problem

i fixed the same problem There are two ways to solve this problem 1) remove the connector with solder wick (radio shack)and an iron The problem with this is that while its a readily available connector it may not be on a Saturday but assuming you can cet it the problem becomes getting all...
