    LeMans Hood Question.

    I really don't want to cut up my stock hood and don't think they make cowl hoods for the LeMans, or that they would look good. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking that if I had to I could cut a hole just big enough for the carb to stick out and have to put the air cleaner on when the hood is...

    Rim doesn't fit on hub.

    Not sure if its called a hub for the rear. havent tried the fronts yet. But anyway. The diameter of the opening that fits over the rear "hub" on my new rims is larger and doesn't sit in it right. I figured by putting the mag lugs on it would automatically correct it but it didn't. It basically...

    What lugs?

    I hate to sound stupid but I have yet to understand the whole wheel area yet. Let the questions begin... lol I got some firebird rims from my friend and my stock lugs don't work. (they pretty much fit inside of the holes in the rim) I come to figure out I must need to get the long/skinny lugs...

    Are these good tires?

    How are these and how well are they priced. Do they seem to cheap? I'm not looking for super performance just something to put on my new rims. Any other suggestions welcome...

    Wow... Can't get rear shocks out...

    I know I sound stupid but this is the first time I've tried to replace a shock. It seems as if this is the original shock that came with the car because the bolts are rusted to crap. Basically, how am I supposed to remove the two upper mounting bolts. Is there a trick to getting the bolt from...

    Car bogs while hard braking.

    My car bogs down while I brake hard such as, getting off the highway, or idiots stopping randomly. It has never actually shut off, but I don't want it to get to that point. I checked the vacuum lines at the brake booster and its fine. What could it be?

    Is this a good rebuild kit for my Dual Jet 210?

    Just like the title says. Not sure if anyone can tell, but I need my carb rebuilt and want to make sure this is the right kit. Pretty sure its the accelerator pump that I need but I'm not sure if that's included in this kit. Can anyone see it from this picture...

    Master Cylinder Leaking...

    Brake fluid is leaking out of where the master cylinder connects to the brake booster. Is there some sort of gasket in there that could be replaced? Or would I have to replace the master cylinder. Or......the brake booster? I hope its one of the first two :/ I was driving with an empty...

    Benefit of rear coilover?

    Is it worth it to me to convert my rear to coilover? My car is a daily driver and will probably see the track only a couple of times. Thanks.

    Dummy lights to Needles...help.

    Im swapping my dummy lights (volts, temp, oil, gas) with a stock gauge cluster from another Pontiac with needles. I'm guessing I need another new oil sending unit meant for a gauge, not a light, but what about the other two. Is it relatively the same thing? Or is there more to this than I'm...

    Oil, Volt, Temp gauges.

    Is there a stock gauge pod for the 4 small round temp, oil, volt, and gas gauges that has a needle instead of just lighting up when there is a problem? If not, I was thinking of buying these small gauges from sunpro at a local store. They look the same size and the three I need are all there...

    Newb Oil Question...

    I was driving today when my oil started pouring out. It got towed to my house and sat there for a while without leaking at all. It only leaks when the engine is on. It is coming from the rear of the engine close to the firewall and is coming out in a slow but steady trickle close to the top of...

    What should I get for a Daily Driver.

    I kind of have my eyes set on the Nomad II's from Jegs but have no idea what size to get and what tires to get. I obviously want fat tires in the back but I'm not going to be drag racing so they dont have to be amazing in the performance department. I really like the look of the weld stars but I...

    How practical is a s/c for a d.d.

    I was thinking about a small supercharger on a 350 for my 80 LeMans. Just wondering how that would be on a daily driver. I saw this article and its pretty much exactly what I want... http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehicles/116_0609_supercharged_350ci_chevy/index.html I found one of those...

    Looking to seal up trunk floor.

    I recently cut out my spare tire tub because of a nasty hole in the bottom of it. I covered the hole so now my trunk is all flat. I want to stop all the rust and just make it super solid. It can look as ugly as needed because im going to cover it up anyway. There are a couple tiny rust holes...

    I need shocks and springs.

    I really need some springs up front so I figured why not get shocks and springs all around. Looking for something cheap but something that will make a difference. I know nothing is "cheap" but I'm not looking to get some crazy race set up. Thanks.

    Where is the EFE?

    I need to attach a vacuum hose to my EFE but I can't locate it. I read that it should be somewhere under the pass. side exhaust manifold but I still could not see it. Pictures would help the most. Thanks.
