    Monte Carlo SSHAKER video

    I've been meaning to make/post a video of this, well, since I installed the shaker, so here it is. Sound is terrible and unfortunately you hear mostly wind noise (I left my window down to hopefully hear the exhaust better). You can see the scoop torque over a bit with the engine, and if you...

    SPAL V3 PWM Fan Controller c/w Temp Sensor

    Very slightly used. Installed and ran for about 10min of testing as it couldn't handle the inrush current of my Mark VIII fan (produced an overcurrent error everytime on startup). Should be fine with just about any other fan out there other than the Mark VIII and possibly the Taurus fan...

    Mark VIII fan install

    After finding out that the Mark VIII fan was too much for the SPAL V3 to handle, I decided to scrap the whole controller idea and make up my own harness/diagrams for a hopefully trouble free system. I designed it so that it operates much like an electric fan in newer cars. It also has a high...

    My '85 Monte SS

    Hey guys - I haven't been around in some time, but thought I'd post some updated pics/info on my car. Not a GN, but I'm a fan of them as well as most any mid-sized GM :) My Monte has a mild 350 and about a year ago I installed a World Class T5 5-speed from a '92 Z28. Other than that, mostly...

    Mark VIII fans

    I currently have a 16" Caravan fan that isn't keeping up with the A/C on and have been debating between the dual Ramcharger fans and a Mark VIII fan. After some research here, it seems several people have had premature failures with the Ramchargers which is making me lean towards the Mark VIII...

    84 T-type

    I am planning to have a look at an '84 T-type tomorrow and was looking for some tips on what to look for and perhaps some info you could throw at me on hot air cars. I don't know much about TR's, but I do know the hot air cars need a little more work to get performance out of them. The bad...

    Who is Gil Younger?

    I was fooling around with a spare 2004R I had given to me last summer and found a tag on one of the valvebody bolts inside that read: No Yo Yo Guppy REVERSE FIX Pat. Pend. Gil Younger From what I can find, this is a shift kit of sorts - does anyone have any more info on this? Have...

They are part #6817 for the roofrail/door package(in the body parts section). If you have them, how was the fit, did htey do the job, and overall are you happy with the...

    CZ code vs. regular 2004R

    I have a regular 200-4R in my 85 SS, and just ran into a deal on a "CZ coded VB, plate & Governor" . If I buy this, then all I will need to "convert" my trans to CZ code specs is a new servo, and TC - am I correct in assuming this? or is there more to it than this? Thanks

    Dimmer wire

    How is this option controlled on aftermarket radio's and do our G-body's have the wire built in to the wiring harness (if so, what colour?). I would like to have this working since the display is too bright and distorted at night on my Alpine deck (you can see the unlit areas). If the wire is...

    CZ tranny value

    How much would a tranny from an 87 SS with 178,000 km (110,604 miles) on it be worth? I have an 85 and am looking for a CZ tranny to rebuild and a local junkyard has one. I can probably get it for ~$300, is this too much? I have two regular 2004R's but would prefer a proper SS tranny...

    Could someone ID these tranny codes?

    1. Tag reads "HG" and the number is as follows: 254 - IT85HG0751 2. Tag reads "HE" and the number is as follows: 275 - 2185HE1352 I know that they are both 1985 trannys but could someone specify what vehicle they came out of and which (if any) is the better candidate for a...

    Shift Linkage

    When I recently swapped a 2004R back into my 85 SS I can no longer can get the shifter into gear 1 or 2. D, OD, R, and P are fine, the shifter just doesn;t go far enough back to get into 2 or 1. It had a TH350 in it that someone else installed before I put in the 2004R. It is not something...
