    Removing the stock AC/Heat box and installing a vintage air under dash unit, has it been done?

    From the pictures I've seen, it looks like this system takes up a bit more room behind the glove box. Does anyone have, or can they get, more interior pictures of the unit installed (with dash reinstalled)? I plan on making a ECU (Holley Dominator) mounting plate that runs from the glove box...

    Speedo Driven Gear Not Spinning

    I've got a freshly rebuilt 200-4R in my Monte that doesn't seem to be spinning the speed sensor (running electric speedo). No movement from the speedometer needle while driving and no speed reading to the ECM. If I remove the sensor from the transmission and spin it with a drill, I get needle...

    Blazer Brake hose routing

    Looks fine as is, but quality braided lines are always a good idea. See, there's two things we agree on.

    looking to get new wheels...wheel spacer safe?

    Using spacers does not effect geometry.

    looking to get new wheels...wheel spacer safe?

    At the 2" mark, you'd be using adapters instead of just a spacer. The adapter bolts to the hub and then the wheel bolts to the adapter. I ran '99 Trans Am wheels with 2.5" adapters for a while and now have 7/16" adapters on the rear to run the current ROHs. I wouldn't hesitate to run them on...

    Front Upper Control Arms

    Understood, but it is only an issue when one front wheel moves suddenly without the same movement from the other wheel. Thus the name BUMP steer. You may be thinking about Ackerman angle when referring to being designed into the system. The difference in arc of the tie rods vs the lower...

    Tall spindles a must for B-Body brake upgrade?

    The B-body steering knuckles are taller than the G-body knuckles. The B knuckles will be required to use the corresponding calipers and 1LE brake rotors. The taller knuckle is what improves the suspension geometry, but the lower steering arm creates more bump steer than the already-too-low...

    I'll wait for your photos of the knuckles, but the angle of the spindle doesn't change the camber curve only the static camber. I still have to disagree with you on bump steer. Bump steer is a safety issue not a safety feature (having a backwards camber curve will induce under steer on its...

    Charlie, I think you may be confused as to what bump steer is. It is in no way designed as a safety. Bump steer is event of the wheels steering left or right as they travel through their length of vertical movement. This will be noticeable when the front wheels move at different rates of...
