Very very nice.......... indeed....! Lots of free time and $$$$ from what I see.............. I also like those new South Carolina license plates.... far out....... R

Well as everyone knows the 700r4 that came with the 82 were the first of thier kind and had many issues and weak links. The trans mechanic told me they typically failed after 30-40k miles. Come to find out, mine had been repalced when they pulled it. They perfected the 700r4 in 1987. The 87-92...

Looks good so far. I like the new engine. I am planning swapping my old engine out this fall. I have a big block, but many have told me that my stock hood will not fit. Do you anticipate any hood clearence problems with your new big block? I have a 454, I know much depends on the intake, but I...

That sounds like a good idea to me. I m sure there are lots of different steps you can take. Brushing it down real good, degreasing, and then repaint with POR or some good Rustoleum high temp paint. I think they make this also in paint over rust as well. I plan on removing my engine soon for...

Got it.... I used a 21 mm box end wrench and backed it up with a crescent wrench... Yeah, I would like to take the batwing off. The gears are bolted in though correct? The batwing does not provide any support to the guts of the differential I would think.

Hi, what is the size of the batwing(carrier assembly bolts)? There are two of them. Left and right side that attache the carrier to the frame. I am in the process of removing mine and it looks like I do not have the right size socket. Not sure if its standard or metric. The largest metric I have...

Did your 81 come with a 3 core radiator? Not sure what mine is. Was thinking of adding another core if thats possible or just get new aluminum radiator.

I had a brake job on mine. My back rotors were hardly worn, so we left them alone. They still had the rivets in place. I did replace all 4 calipers with new ones and pads, bleeded, etc. Also replaced the front rotors and repacked the bearings on the front. The front rotors were worn down enough...

Damn nice car......... WOW. 255/60's should do fine.

Not sure If I can help, and you may already know this, but I think the entire sending unit/pump which is down in the tank mounted at the filler neck. Maybe its somewhere in that area. The actual wiring/cable connection is right under the rubber boot at the filler cap. I am still learning about...

How was the detection of the bad lobe noticed? Particular sound and or engine peformance problem? Just curious?

Hello, I'm about to remove the differential for a rebuild and new gears. I am going to have the gears and seal/bearing kit, clutch pak professionally installed. I just need to get the differential removed. I have heard from others to mark the camber position. More info on this is needed as I'm...

I luv..... this site.... its up more than my email.... Thx, R

I would not attempt to rebuild it. I got my cylinder and ps valve from VB&P. They are rebuilt themselves. They mention the new ones are actually less quality than the rebuilds. Also the shaft might be worn down to the point that the rebuild seal kit and all will not be sufficient, and you will...

Great, look forward to some pics. Ok, I think I am reading ya now. Yep, I was eyeballing the hinges a while back. Glad to know ya got a method to tighting it down. Dont worry, Im the one that does not know the terminology. As for the WS on the tops and doors, they do need replacing. So I will...

Hatch hinges off and shim them up with u shaped metal... im not following you there. I guess I need to see a pic or have you explain in more detail... Also curious to learn more about the pins and you turning them. Maybe I can try some of these out before trying to replace the WS. It looks...

Did you ever get this installed? I can take my index finger and poke it through, where I can see the tip of my finger at the top where the weather strippig meets the glass. Im guessing this is not good, since it does leak right now and makes a nice wind sound when going down the road. Seems like...

Haaa, yep, having the same sort of problem with my fuel guage, one minute its full the next its empty or half full, I think the moon has something to do with it. where are you taking the temp reading with this IR Temp gun?

Just installed 550lb springs from vette brake and products. It lowered my front about 3/4 inch. Although much of that depends on what you got under the hood. AC system, big block or small block, etc. You can get the factory replacement springs which will have it sit up a little higher in the...

Good Job on the troubleshooting...
