on mine the F-body compressor would fit but the lines couldnt be bolted to the back of the compressor. the holley bracket had just come out and i actually had an R4 compressor new in the box. i had read some of the variable displacement compressors couldnt really keep up with the older system...

when i called he started to say something about some vintage air fittings and cutting them... and i just gave up. im picking up a trailblazer ss compressor this weekend and i may also grab a c/k truck compressor so ill let you know. i have plenty of ideas but we'll see what actually works.

http://www.abbott-tach.com/cablex.htm i have this, works great and if you search for seller "tachman" on ebay you can get them for @ $250 - JTR makes a tailshaft conversion kit but i think it was somewhere @ $450??

mirrors actually came off a late 80's cutlass in the local junkyard. theyre not as tall as a malibu chrome mirror but i think they look ok. as far as the a/c: i called BRP last week to ask them what ac line they use on the f-body compressor (since it says right on their website that the F-body...

battery is in the spare tire well, switch is under the rear bumper i used a throttle cable from a 98-2002 f-body without traction control(cant find the part number) and i made the cable shorter inside the car by crimping on a ferrule that you would use on steel cables to join them together...

not really sure yet, i have the malibu AC box, camaro convdenser/compressor - somehow need to make them work together.

figure'd id bring this back for a little update: last month i had the bodyshop fix the only spot of rust on the car. came out good considering the car has 32year old laquer paint and matching it proved a little tricky. old piece cut out new piece in, primed, painted and in the booth...

it looks good, definately alot better than most shops would do in this area. question really is if you paid for a mandrel bent sytem and got that instead then id be pissed. not many shops have mandrel bending equipment because its way too expensive and not many people are gonna ask for it...

thank you!

looking to go with the steel wheel/dog dish caprice cap on my car - there was a thread on here listing what cars came with a 15inch steel wheel with the small GM pattern but i cant seem to find it (i think it was started by TURNA??). i think most caprices/impalas have 5x5 bolt patterns, so what...

i hear their commercials all day on WDHA lol

who did you end up taking it to?

you could have them send you the collectors un-coated so you can weld the o2 bungs in

the collector on the header is pretty long, you could cut it down shorter if you needed to. you could put 2 small cats on it and build the Xpipe after that(the X should be as close to the collectors as possible but sometimes its not feasible). to save some space you could use a cat with a 3inch...

all the cooling system parts came from a 98-2002 camaro/firebird, the fan clips into the radiator.

i went with the smaller primary header, 1 3/4 i think, 3 inch collector. the rest of the exhaust is as follows: 3inch to 2.5 inch flowmaster reducers, 2.5inch summit universal x-pipe kit, dynomax ultraflo offset intet/center oulet mufflers and GN tailpipes from Mandrel bending soulutions(most of...

i used the BRP kit with their mounts and headers. the headers dont have provisions for sensors but i just welded bungs in the pipe right after the header

yep ive taken it out multiple times already lol

i would get long tubes, put cats on it and be done with it, as long as it passes the tailpipe test you'll be fine, just dont ever let the sticker expire and get caught at a roadside inspection.
