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

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...

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...

Did the swap several years ago. No complaints. I know some of the g bodies came with 200r4's column shift. Question: Is there an internal difference in the shift bowls? Did allot of research and haven't been able to find a definitive answer. Can't get into "low" by pulling down the lever. Seems...

Looking for anyone else who has/had an issue with excessive rear suspension droop while on a frame hoist. Wouldn't have an issue except my "X" pipe is probably positioned alittle too far back. While on a frame hoist, at full suspension droop, the driveshaft will actually be supported by the "X"...

Anyone tried these from GBodyParts? http://www.gbodyparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=47_120_121_165&products_id=1977&osCsid=a1eefe540b7a6c08a50e3ef18248b305

9" Ford in my 80 Malibu. I know the top bushings bind somewhat. One of the tabs is welded up slightly misaligned on the housing. Sphericals at the housing ends should correct this I'm hoping. I know three of our sponsers offer them. Any experience and preferences? Currently poly bushed and only...

Wondering if anyone has a rubber OEM/replacement front caliper hose laying around that would give me the exact length measurement. I have Russell (Jeg's #799-692100) braided stainless replacements that are about 12"-12-1/2" on it now. I need a slightly longer set because of how much the car is...

Factory ride height doesn't make a whole lot of difference anymore with our 35 year old A/G Bodies. In most cases, every related part has worn, been repaired/replaced with after-market parts and/or altered in some way, changing that original spec. Still, the question, "what was my factory ride...

1964-1967 1964-65 SS 1968 1969-1970 1971-1972 1973-1981 1974-1977 1983 Wagon 1997-2003 2004-2013 This list may not be all inclusive- I'm sure there must be some I missed. Some like their cars free from all scripts. Some like the originals and yet some would like to retrofit older model...

Considering UMI's front coilover setup inorder to avoid selecting the wrong front lowering springs. My current setup is on the bump stops, so I really have no front suspension. Don't really want to go with their lower arms just yet. Just the springs and Viking shocks for now. No race, just...

Was always alittle off on the wheelbase after installing the 9". I didn't use the original driveshaft and for some reason the replacement was alittle short. Either I measured wrong or the shop misread my length numbers?? My wheelbase had been short roughly an 1.250" ever since. Anyway, have...

I'm not a frequent racer. Maybe a dumb question. Recently installed a 200R4 with all kinds of parts from C/K Performance #-o Should hold up okay behind my mild 383 for awhile. Plan to get a few time slips at the next "Show N Go" just to see what it'll run. I am using one of C/K's D5 medium...

I know the excessive bump steer can be an issue. So far I can live with that. At the time that is what was available on the cheap. Done the swap and "YA" box years ago. I realize the internal stops are built into the worm and rack piston but have a question about the need for the external LCA...

Will be sliding a 200R4 in shortly. My trans guy has it on the bench this week. Hopefully done in a few weeks. Noticed in a past post that Pete from Hughes recommended a 21-25L lockup for a mild 350. I'm running a 383, maybe 400lbs torque/3.73's. Anyone else running this converter? Satisfied...

Anyone use these springs. Seem to be the same part numbers CCP uses for the 64-72 "A" bodies? Supposedly, the "A" body springs lower the gbody 1" more than the "A" body. http://www.performanceonline.com/1978-88-Chevy-Buick-Oldsmobile-GM-A-Body-Rear-Coil-Springs-19791/ CCP's web page- springs...

Anybody out there using the Wilwood D-52 calipers with the B-Body 12" spindle and brake swap? I'm using the standard B-Body calipers and rotors now (street use only) w/17" wheels. Pretty sure the rotors are 1" thick. Would like to dress it up alittle with the Wilwood calipers if they actually...

I should have jumped on one awhile back when someone on here had several to sell. Wonder if that member still has one to get rid of?? If not, anyone know where I can get a new good quality repop? Checked Dixie and Eckler's...nothing. Thanks, Steve

Using a mid 90's serpentine system on my sb with the 105 amp alternator that came with the setup. The 105 amp is more like 30-40 amp at idle, alittle too low especially when the cooling fan comes on. Thought about upgrading to the SC130D which is rated at 140 amp but am reading that a better...

Currently running 225/50/17's on 8" TT2's on the front of the malibu. I have done the Bbody brake swap so I needed at least 5" of backspace to keep em from rubbing. The car sits pretty low and I don't have a problem with rubbing now, except once in a great awhile at a driveway or two. Would...
