  1. Just piddling around this weekend like I said ... New Battery terminals, since the PO CHEWED the last ones. HEI/Coil update (also did the pickup coil in the dizzy at the same time) Pulled the door panels to work on the non functioning locks. And decided to re'glue some of the loose ends back down. And figured "while I'm at it," I'd clean the panels up a little; starting with painting the trim because it looked like chewed poo anyway. Taping off More pics to follow, still working on it over the next couple days.
  2. Meh, I've adjusted it .. havn't moved it back out of the garage since .. hence the no new pictures. I'll definitely need to do camber plates though. I can get it down where it's "ok" for now, but when I ZG it, I'll need a little more adjustability. Right now, I'm being a little restricted by using the stock isolators, but it's good for now. I'm at a little bit of a financial standstill right now, so I'll just be piddling around with the little stuff for a little bit (just did HEI ignition conversion and replaced the pickup coil). Then I'll do the sway bars, camber plates and ZG's, but for right now, just regular maintenance that's not really picture worthy. Will be cleaning up the interior some more this weekend though, then I'll have something to show .
  3. I just rebuilt my whole front end a few weeks ago and the only other "issue" I ran into was the bolts for the sway bar end links were a little too short. They were the right size but because of the new bushings being less flexible than the wore out rubber ones I had to put a longer bolt on to "squish" them down and seat them better before I replaced the longer bolts with the shorter correct ones. I also replaced the stock LCA's with T3 ones, so don't know if that had anything to do with it.
  4. Yeah, I just checked but all mine have the rectangular connector. I'm sure you could make it work with some rewiring but don't have one to plug and play .. Sorry .. On a good note though .. They all work .. Lol
  5. Will pull my box out from the garage first thing in the am and let ya know what I've got.
  6. I've got 5 extra motors in the garage here in San Antonio. I'll echo what z240 said though as far as identifying what you're looking for specifically. I don't know which ones go to what years, but I'm pretty sure I have one for ya either way.
  7. Sub'd Just mounted up a new coil and HEI module in my 77. The wiring is a little different from all the writeups online, so hoping to have some light shed on it before I start frying stuff.
  8. This is the route I took and I loved them! Booyah!
  9. Well, I finally got to drive it for a little bit on Sunday and put about 10 miles on it. I'm still having fueling issue that I believe is internally in the tank. I have a theory that the pickup screen is mucked up with sealant, but we'll see. If it frustrates me enough I'll cut the tank in half and have a looksee .... or do the F-body tank swap .. I just REALLY don't want to hack out the spare tire well. It died like it ran out of gas, but when I called the wife to bring me the gas can, the car only took about 3.5-4 gallons, and then cranked and ran after a couple tries (re-priming the pump I'm assuming) and drove the rest of the way home (2 miles) just fine. The suspension is not adjusted, but will be getting that treatment soon. It felt great, nice and tight and handled awesome! Just doesn't have the stance I'm looking for. I got the interior put together and pressure washed the engine bay and undercarriage. I was tired of have everything I touch being coated with old grease and dirt Anyway, here are a couple pics of the first day out of the garage in two months almost. Yes, I should have took more but the wife was already mad at how long I spent on it that day, especially after she had to drop what she was doing and bring me the gas can for a car I already "Fixed" And yes, I need fenders .. lol
  10. Research that company well before you call them too ...
  11. Ok, so no new updates. When attempting to bleed the brakes, I'm running into a problem. It's either the MC or the Calipers, but I'll be troubleshooting it today to see what I need to do next. So, again, hoping to have it on the ground this weekend
  12. Nothing yet to brag about bro .. will be updating the thread tomorrow though!
  13. Got the suspension pieces back the other day and have been just kind of piddling around with it. A couple family emergencies for the week kind of kept me away from it but here's where we're at. Finally "home" Getting the party started! Hoping to have it on down on all fours tomorrow!
  14. Tough Mudder was great, had a blast and wasn't nearly as hard as I though it was going to be. Coilovers should be here on Monday (whew - dodged the bullet of my wife possibly seeing them if the showed up on saturday. Sold the last of the parts from my last car and immediately forwarded the moolah to a HybridZ member for a 5 speed tranny swap package which should be here in a couple weeks Time to get started on putting the suspension and brakes together, what I can anyway in preparation of the coilovers arrival. Funny, I'll have this thing on the road for about a week before I put it up on jackstands to do the tranny swap! Definitely have mucho to do! Having a blast !!
  15. Found what I was looking for .. for the moment. Thanks guys!
  16. Oh my ..... Getting so close to putting it back together!! I'm excited, can you tell? Taking a break from working on her this weekend to do the Dallas Tough Mudder!! Wish me luck!
  17. Shhhhhhhhh .... It's funny how I've strategically planned my initial mods to be essentially invisible on purpose, while still having a great impact on the cars direction Again, I hope she never finds this thread . Lol
  18. Man! The front ball joints for this thing are expensive these days! Well ..... That's what the wife thinks anyway . Lol
  19. I think we're thinking along the same lines with our blue aspirations .. I've pretty much chosen my color though .. GM Laser Blue Metallic (21U) aka Blurple I loved this color on my old Cobalt .. under some lighting it had kind of a purple hue to it
