    Adding dual cats

    Hello all, been awhile since I have been here. I have an 81 I have had for about 14 years. A couple of years ago (pre kids) I had dual exhaust installed with no cats. There is no testing in my state of KY. I have since purchased a home that has an attached garage and I have to air it out...

    Glass tops - replacing weatherstrip

    I bought some weatherstrips to replace my mirror ttops weatherstip which is crumbling awhile back. I got cold feet after reading about some people that reported seeing hairline cracks appear in their glass tops sometimes several months after replacement. I replaced the ones on my brothers 77...

    Hello all. OK I gave up on my AC years ago...but that deal requires to be able to get my window down! It quit working on Friday. Where would you start searching? I am sure its the power window motor but hard to say without taking stuff apart I guess. For some reason the drivers window was...

    400 Valve body and pan bolts

    Hello everyone been awhile since I have been here! Has anyone installed one of these on a 400 trans? I am about ready to re-assemble on the 77 (which has been sitting on jacks for months) and just have some basic questions about this kit. The instructions seem pretty straight forward but now...

    finally figured out belt squeal!

    Been stumped for awhile on my alternator belt. Tried to adjust several times and not luck. After looking at it closer - the belt fits in the alternator pulley but looks small on the drive pulley. It wasn't sitting at the top of the grooves like it should. So ended up putting a different...

    brothers shift kit problem - broken bolt

    So my brother decided to put a shift kit in his 77. He was almost done when the last bolt he was tightening down in the valve body broke off. Very frustrated because the torque wrench was set a little lower than what it called for to be safe. He is torn on what he should do. There are 11...

    Power steering leaking

    Well I think its toast. Leaked all over the driveway after I brought it home from getting windows re tinted. I guess the most affordable solution is to replace myself with a rebuilt? What all should be removed to get to it? I plan on putting on jacks, take wheels off and remove air cleaner...

    t top part

    Ok, going to try to describe this part without a pic. When I put on my 1981 top, there is a pin that slides in by the windshield and a pin that slides in the roof frame. I noticed the plastic sleeve for this pin around the roof frame is cracked. I haven't been able to find this sleeve, just...

    hood hinge - bolts fell off while on expressway

    So I see my hood start fluttering near the front passenger hinge on the way home. Come home and the two bolts holding hinge to hood on passenger side just fell off. They were both sitting there on top of the radiator, luckily. I reattached and it feels pretty tight but what should I do to...

    rear window louvers

    Anyone have these on their rear window? I saw them many years ago on an 81 and I always thought they were a cool look (although not sure if I would put them on mine just because it looks like it would be intrusive to fasten them on to something). If anyone has any pics, please share!
