Hey Lemans, I don't know much about Firebird rims but it sounds like you need some Mag wheel lug nuts,they make several lengths on the narrow shoulder just make shure they're not to long and stick out past the wheel flange as your wheel won't tighten up,I don't know what wheel stud thread...

That's interesting,I'll assume good pedal? No leaks? It would about have to be a crimped off main line to the rear or weak pressure from the master cyl or maybe a combo of both,try blowing compressed air through the brake line and see what happens,Good Luck! Dave

I've always heard that POR15 was good stuff,those pics look great!!!!!!! How did you apply the product ? Thanks,Dave

Hey Bud, As far as I know there's no such thing as a 9" wide Ralley rim unless it's been custom made,could be you're measuring wrong,inside bead to inside bead is where you should measure and if you measure outside to outside you may get that 9" you say you have,I don't know about slicks...

Personally I have aquired a Lakewood 15015 to fit an 82 to 84? Camaro and also happens to fit Malibus as well!! I'll be installing it next time I have the drive line apart!!But thanks anyway!!Later,KillerDave

It really depends on what you're doing,1000hp with street suspension and tires you can probably use any good reputable built OD auto and never have a problem,if you have a four link and big slicks and set up right and are hittin it hard all the time you'll splatter it all over the ground! That's...

Hey Man, I just wanted to say your avitar pic is one B.A. lookin Bu!!! I'm not much of an expert or guru on wheel fitment but I'm assuming your 10" wheel will carry the same tires? You have 1" tire clearance and are adding 1" back space I'm assuming you have more than 1" between the wheels...

Hey Doober, What's goin on man?? Hurst shifters are a peice of cake,I've had lots of them apart over the years,nothing to them really,I've never actually seen one worn out usually they just need cleaned and lubricated,about all there is to it is pry the housing apart with a screw driver...

Impressive Grasshopper!!!!!!!!!!!

Give It Hell Brother!!!!

Exactly what type of 3spd shifter are you working with? Floor? Column? Factory? Aftermarket? Let me know as I may be able to help,Later,KillerDave

Hey Everett, Norm's a pretty smart guy on the suspension stuff but I would double and triple check before I bought wheels & tires,I had a 79 Bu all stock and put a set of 15X7 ralleys on it and I'm thinking they were about 3 1/2" to 4" backspacing but can't verify it as the only thing I...

Hey Sicbu, I havn't done the notch yet but have been contemplating for some time now,I have been a metal fabricator for years and from what I've discovered studying the G-body notch job is the only thing the frame it supporting after the notch job is the trunk,the suspension is pretty...

Hi There, I'll have to say first off I have no mini starter experience at all but I'm guessing what you're calling the ignition wire is actually the solenoid trigger wire,looks like you have a battery cable terminal and a terminal that engages the starter,my guess it that the starter...

I would imagine that GM had a very specialized machine to do that very job,I have a new fan shroud that showed up in two peices and looking at my original it also has staples,I think what I'm going to do will be to straighten the staples on the original shroud and drill holes to match in the new...

The 79 I used to have had 235/60 15's on 15X7 ralleys with a 3 1/2 back space,all stock suspension,never rubbed any where but I always thought I should have larger wheels & tires on the back as it would have looked lots better but it was a daily driver and rotation is the key to longetivity as...

I had a Camaro years ago with 4.88's in it,it was fine on 35mph roads or blasting from 0 to 95,had a balanced and blue printed 327 in it and I'd bury an 8 grand tach all the time with those gears,eventually blew it up! Imagine that!!! Later,KillerDave

I must be a true hillbilly,never could figure out how to get a torque wrench on the four middle bolts on a small block without extensions and universals and stuff like that which will change your torque value anyway,I always relied on my Matco long handled 9/16" combination wrench,run the...

Man you got your mag early! Mine didn't show up in the mail till the 18th,looks like a pretty cool set up though,gotta love roots blowers!!!!!

I've got a home made set on mine,don't really know if they do any good but I shure don't think it'll hurt,I think I saw them on the Hotchkiss website and thought it was a good idea to tie your trailing arm mounts together so since I didn't have anything better to do at the time I made...
