I got my ABS plastic backed unit from Mike's Montes. It was pretty darn easy to put in and it fit like a glove. I was a little nervous about cutting the hole for the dome light but an Xacto knife made it easy. It took a couple of hours and the metal trim above the windows is kind of a pain...

They sure make life easier since you will need to change your fluid more often with a PM. It is such a pain dealing with stock bleeders. Good luck with your replacement.

I have to agree with the comment above. Time is not kind to rubber no matter what care is taken or how they visually appear. I would never drive on tires that old so I don't really think you can factor in the originality into any asking price. I think most buyers would look at the tires as a...

Piece of cake to swap out. You may as well put new brake fluid throughout the system and bleed it correctly. Russell speed bleeders are your friend. Fronts are PN 639580 – 10mm Rears are PN 639520 – 8mm

Hydroboost is a nice change. The only thing I don't like about mine is that the power steering pump will moan softly like it is being over-worked. It isn't very audible but it is there. I know there isn't air in the system because that sound was a bit different and went away after a while. I...

I am curious if anyone has invested in a Quickjack to use when servicing your vehicles? They are pretty expensive but look to be darn cool. It seems like everything I have been doing lately has been under vehicles and this seems pretty nice for a home mechanic who may just have jack stands or...

Thanks. I forgot to list that it also includes: Stock working Powermaster brake system NOS coil pack Rear brake lines Will be off the market at the end of the month.

Since the Monte seemed to be the most abundant and well known G-body, any G-body is a Monte Carlo to non car people. :) Also, all Turbo Regals are Grand Nationals. I get that a lot. When you explain it is the same drivetrain you just get a look like "whatever."

Sounds like you could use a Wordpress blog site.

Car will be available until the end of the month and then it goes into storage for yet another winter. The VIN is right on the option sticker picture if you want to run an Experian AutoCheck or Carfax. It rated a 47 with Experian with typical ratings being 27 for cars of this vintage. No...

Here is what they would look like on a TR. Or with painted centers

Congrats. A conversion without snags isn't fun. Haha. Glad you got the results you were looking for. Just the other day I almost put myself through the windshield due to people who treat stop signs like yield signs.

I would also say not to bother with the powermaster. In the end you will spend a LOT of money on a braking system that will still be pretty sub par and require a lot of maintenance to stay alive. Vacuum is an easy install but some will also suggest hydroboost if you want great clamping power...

It is but everyone seems to have 10k to offer. I can't count the number of people who have just that much to spend. I am going to keep it available for a week or two and put it away for the winter and keep it. I am not under any pressure to sell, which is nice. I wasn't aware the market was...

These cars still command respect on the street. Any car guy is going to know what you have and the ones who don't who rev their little engines at you will be in for a surprise if you so desire. :) I get the same thing. Everyone under the sun wants to tailgate me or do the "matching speed"...
