Very Nice!!

Nice looking Malibu! Like the wheels!!

Anyone out there tried the aftermarket door latches? Considerably cheaper than the OEM. Or just go OEM? Only need the right side for now. Thanks

Put it in storage today until next spring. Was able to find a new place for the same money. A little further away but still dirt cheap. Will barter some of the expense but still well worth it.

Yep, I think you're on track with a solenoid issue..Good luck Steve

Spohn was very considerate and took back their bar and control arms for a full refund, minus shipping of course. Too bad the bar didn't fit my setup quite right, pieces were nice quality. If my housing had been "centered" rather than "pinion centered", it would have fit just fine. "Thumbs up" to...

Wow, nice work and attention to detail! Seems I gotta do things numerous times before I get things right anymore ](*,) Being retired and having more time than I ever had before you'd think things would be the opposite. I have brake line tabs welded to the housing at about the same area your...

Ordered, received and installed the 1" rear sway bar and LCA arms from Spohn. Not exactly happy with the fit. It bolted right up no problem without interference with the housing. Short of putting two people in the back seat and an even lower ride height, it seems as though it would be okay...

Was finally able to get a little more info on the differences between the overdrive and standard 3-speed auto shift columns. Below is a picture of the shift gate that is in every auto shift column whether OD or not. My source tells me this is the only shift gate he has ever seen used in these...

I know Spohn advertises a picture of their bar under a gbody with a 9" somewhere on the interweb. Alittle more $$ of course. I currently have Spohn DA LCA's that have no provisions for a bar mounting so I'd need to change bars out also. Steve

It does. Seems to me that's why I never installed one long ago. I also believe 7/8"?? was the largest offering from GM for these cars. Maybe someone from UMI can chime in later. Thanks melloelky! Steve

Anyone know if UMI's solid rear sway bar fit the early small bearing Ford 9" housing contour without interference? Have done on site searches about the question but posts don't seem to appear or exist anymore?? I assume it will but wanna be sure. I'd prefer the stock mounted bar rather than the...

Managed to get to O'Reilly's and picked up a pair of Monroe gas charged Plus (#32230) rear shocks (18.125" long) for a 90 Aerostar 2WD. Pushed out both 12mm center bushings and rubbers separately. Pushed out the TBar/rubber (together) and lower rubber from the 20.8" stock length KYB's. The KYB...

Thanks Greg for the info and pictures. Got side tracked alittle with the need for a carb overhaul after winter storage. I'm going to give your idea a shot and will get to O'reilly's later today. Steve

Thanks 10's, good info Steve

Thanks!..........I thought some of you may have already done some of the leg work. Good options and info. I believe a few inches would do the trick. My springs are also just shy of falling out at full droop. Will have something on order this week. I have a good friend with a frame hoist in his...

Most, if not all of our street driven cars are lowered. Anyone find a need for shorter rear shocks in a non-coil-over setup? If so, what did you use or have any suggestions? Been using stock length KYB shocks with no real issues. I tucked my exhaust up pretty tight years ago and when hanging on...

Installed a new aluminum trans pan on the 200r4. Pan is from CT Powertrain Products tapped for a drain plug and temp sensor. Nice piece. Been dialing in shift points with trimmed governor weights/springs so draining it first is making it much less of a hassle. Started out with 34.5 grams & 19.5...

Park and the rest of the positions are fine. After looking a little closer, even if the bowl could be clearanced to reach low, the column shift arm (with the stock linkage) would be pretty close to the lower side of the outside firewall pocket. Might be room?? ~Steve
