    How to remove turn signal lever

    If it has the wiper controls on that lever too you don't have to remove it to tighten the tilt screws. You remove the steering wheel,lock plate and cancel cam, there is a screw holding a small lever on the turn switch that is actuated by the turn lever. Just FYI if you have never tightened the...

    Front end travel limiters

    Drill and tap snubber hole for a 1/2 bolt. Use a long grade 8 bolt as the stop, thread the bolt threw the old snubber hole and use a nut to lock it in place after you adjust it. I did this on my UMI uppers works like a charm.

    Ignition switch question

    No it should not. You either have a bad ignition lock cylinder or ignition switch. If your getting acc in the lock position. I would go for the electrical ignition switch first. It must be adjusted to work properly the switch is slotted for this.

    chassis bracing notch question

    If your switching to coil overs that's what you will be doing anyway when you install the bar for the shock mounts. If your going to notch it, do a max notch, your all ready in there, might as well go all the way. Just my .02

    Timing at idle ?

    He said it had a "racing" cam in it. I agree, locked timing is the best way to go. I never use anything but locked out for hot rod or race car.

    Timing at idle ?

    I would disconnect and plug the vacuum advance, Install a recurve kit in the distributor with the lightest springs. Set my total timing at 36deg, all in by 3k rpm let the idle timing fall where it may as long as it starts ok.

    Electrical Gremlin

    I deal with this sort of thing all the time at work. It sounds like you either have a bad cluster ground or the most likely is the cluster is failing. GM clusters are crap at best. The cluster on that year Cavalier is tied into the anti theft system I'm pretty sure. So a junk yard cluster wont...

    malibu traction issues

    Yes I have used them. They were ok up to a certain point, when I started running in the 10's my car was leaving all crooked, one wheel 2ft off the ground and the other still on the ground. I installed a Trick Chassis ARB, problem solved. The ARB keeps the frame and body from twisting (so to...

    Just Disgusted With Rust-Oleum Spray Paint (rant)

    The brush on hammertone stuff is tough and doesn't leave brush marks when properly applied. Used it on my roll bar.
