I have 10-30 oil in it with one can of that restore stuff. I don't think the gasket is too thick, Its the one that was on it before I took it apart I just siliconed it on before I put it back together. And that 40 was just on a free rev with it in park, I haven't done a full throttle run under...

Thanks for everybodys' input. I pulled the pump apart, everything looked to be in order, it just had usual markings from a 100,000+ miles of wear, I packed it full of Vaseline, put a priming tool on it and it started moving oil. Fired the engine up and it started pumping away. It still doesn't...

Alright so I bought an engine off a guy this fall (its actually a 350 Buick V8 but from what I understand the oil pumps between the V6 and 350 are pretty much identical) it had sat outside in the rain waiting for me to come pick it up so when I drained the oil I got a nice chocolate milkshake...

I'm looking for a steering wheel horn medallion trim ring and the collar thing that sets between the steering wheel and the steering column. I don't care what color. If anyone has these parts they are willing to part with or knows where I can find them I greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance

For sure interested in the radiator shroud. And any chance you would give me a package deal on the 442 console with the mounting track and the red bucket seats?

Take a look at this Craigslist post. Its in St. Joseph Missouri, about 30 or so miles north of Kansas City http://stjoseph.craigslist.org/pts/3179874451.html

JDPolzin saw this thread and offered to sell me a set of .040 over hyper' pistons, a 4.1 intake with a Q-Jet and an old 204/214 cam for pretty cheap. Does this sound like a pretty good start to my build?

Okay so I don't know if this would be better suited in the Before Black section but I think I will try it here: After some thought I have decided it would be fun to see just what kind of fuel economy I can get out of a carb'ed normally aspirated 231. I have decided on going with a COMP High...

Hey everbody, I'm looking to swap out my transmission. My car has a Turbo 350 in it currently and I want to swap it out for a 200-4R. I've heard that it's almost a direct drop in without needing to modify the crossmember and I can even use my existing drive shaft. I have also read that they are...

Hey everybody, I want to swap the transmission out in my 79 Regal. It has a Turbo 350 in it now and I'm wanting to go with an overdrive, I was thinking a 700r4 for a long time but I've receantly heard that a 200-4r would be better because it will drop in without changing anything, it's suppost...

Hello, I just put this 84-87 (not shure what year it came off of) turbo regal steering wheel in my 79. I know im missing the horn trim ring (if anybody has one for a reasonable price I'd shure like to buy it, color dosen't matter) but after i put the wheel on I noticed this really ugly gap...

Thanks for all the help guys. I guess since a GN dash isnt worth fitting into my car I have been considering sending the guages to Redline Guage Works out in CA. Does anybody have any expearence with them? What do they charge and how is their service?

I do like that Cutlass rally dash, I looked into that at one point untill I found out its to wide to fit in the Regal dash. I have been looking at old junk Cutlasses for a console but most of them are blue. I did have my eye on an 83 Hurst/Olds with a red interior that was all there except for...

Looks like it has red interior, is it bucket seats? If so I might be interested in the console

Hello, I have a 79 Regal that I want to do some interior updates on, I have an 87 Grand National steering wheel thats going in, I've pretty much got that all figured out so I dont need help with that but I also want to put a Grand National instrument panel in, is that as simple as changing the...
