Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Building new FE3's, mount question

    GM's parts diagrams show a wedge shape spacer in with the mount, like #4 on this - Will I need to buy that wedge thing, GM 22167000, or will it be in with the mounts depending what I buy? These look slightly different shape than those pictured in Rockauto's mount kits. They're only about...

    Looking at AC Delco springs for old FE3 replacement - Need advice

    I ordered coil springs under Delco part number 45H1139. I'm sending those back because Amazon's shipping isn't exactly perfect. 45H1139 springs must be a general w-body replacement sold in pairs, judging from RockAuto's fitment thing. Clicking around on GMpartswhatever, I found a part number...

    Windshield removal & available tools? Autoglass question from a Terrible n00b

    I got enough damage that it can't be repaired. The chain place wants like $550 for a new HUD (04+ gp) glass installed, which I don't think will be covered by insurance. I kinda been waiting on a couple different people to get a windshield for me ..but it's been 3 weeks. We want it fixed...

    TechII: Clone vs Genuine & What can they do for our platform?

    Up late and watched a couple videos about the differences between the cloned ones and Genuine GM. One vid's pretty convincing that says they're the same. I wouldn't have any clue. What do you think? What all can be done with one that would make it worth looking into further? I still plan on...

    3800 SC, broke my pintle caps - pieces in 2 front cylinders

    I searched. Google said a lot of people have had this problem. Go to put the rail back on, the old pintle caps are brittle from fuel, they bust, pieces fall in during extraction. I got a couple big pieces out I could see with vaseline on a long pick. There's still a few fragments in the front...

    Power Steering Pumps?

    There's pumps with and without reservoirs. Is that something hard to change over (ie. possibility of leaks)? Also there's a few listed for an 05 GTP. Any brand/part number recommendations? Thanks

    Anodizing or Electropolishing ZZPs Aluminum valve covers

    I'm wondering if these processes are doable onto the material. I've seen powdercoat and someone suggested hydrofilm, but I don't recall any that are anodized. Anodizing is common in some good colors I'd be more interested in electropolish, but I think it depends on the material whether or...

    Use your old links from gpf.net

    This is probably obvious for some people. But, maybe you're not around computers a whole lot - An old bookmark is on the right. Just replace .net with .com - results are below That's all there is to it. Enjoy.

    Anyone run the Mevotech bars?

    They're listed on RA, but I can't find a thing about them. No specs on diameter, hollow or solid, not even from their catalog. Addco clearly isn't making ours anymore, unless maybe there'd be some group buy. The SLP's cost a little more. Any info's appreciated. Thanks! PN# MEVOTECH MS508198

    This what I need to pull the balancer?

    My gf came across this is on Vatozone. It looks like its the right size 3800 bolts for a universal installer. http://www.autozone.com/loan-a-tools/harmonic-balancer-installer/oem-harmonic-balancer-puller-retrofit-kit-for-gm/409642_0_0 To me it looks like that's a purchase price, but we don't...

    Why are Regals so inexpensive? (at least in my area)

    Trying to pick up another 3800 before the snow flies. The wiki's pretty general.. just says some options, etc. They're not bad cars. One sits out my window almost 24/7, taunting me to ask about buying it. Are they more prone to rust than the others? What gives?

    Anyone used Narva 9006's, or Narva brand at all?

    I think the Aussies use these. I read before that they were German. Don't know if that was errant or if it was sold.. Anyway, it looks like they have a fine product. General product information - http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/performance-globes Specific 9006/HB4 models -...
