    need help finding a turn signal lever

    Nope that's not the right one,I believe the one you have a pic of from ebay is the correct one,that is for the 78 to 81 column and it does look the same on the very end as your switch lever,I've not fooled around with turn signal levers yet but am told they pop right in and out,I'd say it's a...

    NEED HELP!! HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH TIRE RUB (UPDATE 9/21)

    Re: NEED HELP!! HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH TIRE RUB. By George I think RatMalibu is on to something! That would make sense as I believe the brake conversion makes the track wider,meaning the wheel flange is further away from the centerline of the car,more backspace will move the tire away from...

    need help finding a turn signal lever

    I've not actually tried it but Bill says he tried it the other way,big stalk into a little hole won't work but if the end is the same it might fit,the only problem might be be that it needs support but then again it might go in the without an issue,I think it's woth a try,they want $70.00 for...

    NEED HELP!! HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH TIRE RUB (UPDATE 9/21)

    Re: NEED HELP!! HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH TIRE RUB. Hmmm,looks like they're on there right to me,have you contacted Global West to ask they're opinion? Can you get a pic of the front wheel with the car on the ground and you standing straight back from the front wheel about 10 or 15 feet with the...

    NEED HELP!! HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH TIRE RUB (UPDATE 9/21)

    Re: NEED HELP!! HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH TIRE RUB. When you did the spindle and brake conversion what make A-arms did you use? I'd like to see some pics a bit further away from the car so we can see if the wheel is centered in the wheel well,I think not and I also think it has something to do...

    need help finding a turn signal lever

    It looks to me like sumthin funny (not ha ha) is goin on there!! I think someone has put a later model steering column in your car, I don't think you can put a normal 78 to 81 turn signal lever in that big ol hole without making some sort of bushing for it,that lever you show is for an 82 and...

    4-Speed Shifter Distance

    Yep that's creative alright! One of yours? I was more thinking a T56 Camaro trans with the stock shifting location and maybe bending the shifter forward to clear the bench and then back toward the driver something like the Hurst shifter they made specifically for 55 to 57 Chevys with a Muncie...

    4-Speed Shifter Distance

    Hi There, Malibu795: AKA Wildman has a T56 in a wagon with a bigblock and if I remember correctly a stock shifter and it does have a bench in it,maybe some creative bending?? I don't remember as I hate to say I was kinda in a hurry when I met him and didn't get to look as good as would have...

    Quarter window felt length.

    Cool,I'll have to give Dixie a call when I get back to that phase!!

    Quarter window felt length.

    That's the main problem,I didn't notice it untill it wouldn't line up correctly with my B piller trim and then started looking a little closer,have you looked at or for the outside window wiper with the chrome bead on it yet? I don't have anything that even resembles that part,do you?

    Quarter window felt length.

    That looks almost the same as the Fuzzie stuff I have,the weatherstrip isn't wide enough so the chrome bead won't line up with the chrome bead on the door,in my case though the door wiper is so far out of whack I can't even use it,or maybe I don't even have it in my kit,no recouse though as I...

    Quarter window felt length.

    Wll if nothing else i'm glad to find out Dixie MC isn't using Re-Pops Fuzzies as them things are junk!! The only thing even close are the quarter window lower strips and they're totally not made right,a bit to long but the chrome strip isn't far enough from the window to line up properly with...

    tubular a-arms front

    What size tire are you talking on the 15x8s,I don't think your problem is going to be the control arms but will be wheel & tire size,I have 15x7 Camaro Rallys with 235/60 15s on them and they rub just a little at full steering lock both ways,that's at stock height on my 78,on the 81 (signature...

    T56 Conversion

    Hey T5, From what I gathered on using an adapter plate you have to change to the longer Viper input shaft to compensate for the thickness of the adapter plate,besides I got everything including the master cyl,braided hose,slave and then the flywheel back, eventhough the clutch works backward it...

    T56 Conversion

    Yep that's what a conversion fylywheel for an internal balanced,2 pc rear main conversion to a T56 with the back asward pull clutch set up costs,apparently if I had a later model 1pc main engine the LT1 flywheel would have worked just fine, Oh well such is life!! KillerDave

    T56 Conversion

    Hey T5. Yea I though or kinda knew so,that's what I've always loved about GM,Chevy's in particular,all very interchangeable with the exception of the 400sb and 454 and larger bb being strokers and needing to be externally balanced,I just wanted to hear it from someone else!! I've done bought the...

    Seat Mounts

    You could or sould find them (inner seat mounts) in the junkyard (Auto Recycling Center) remember all G-bodys are the same,for 20 to whatever dollars but will probably have to remove them,I've found good deals thru members here parting cars out,say $40 or so plus shipping but you'll generally...
