Someone should probably sticky this up to the top

Makes me sad I live on the east coast.... seems like everyone else is rollin in nice cars and deals. Once again best of luck with the sale!

The 78 and 79 "A Bodys" are the first "G Body" cars. GM changed what the platform was called, not how they built it or what parts they used. Any how, I beleive you're stuck to looking at later 80s GM cars, specifically the GN, T Type, Hurst/Olds and 442. The monte SS had a 7 5/8s" rear ring...

Just a heads up, the link is bad... it's telling me to log in. Best of luck with the sale!

Just thoguht I'd share a followup..... Turns out it was the rank gas. pumped the tank empty, and she started right up. Thanks for your help!

All G Body's shared the rearend (7.5" or 8.5"), the only difference was the 8.5 required a different size driveshaft (shorter by 1 inch). Rearend Swap Tech

The more I think about this, and the more you guys call it a fuel issue, the more I think I have some REALLY bad gas in the tank, and the 10gal of regular is just letting it limp..... Wish I put Stabil in the tank (when I parked it). I don't think I remembered to :(. So I'm going to drain...

It's possible I guess, I'll have to try that. I'm going to swap out a brand new fuel filter. I didn't get around to the compression test today, was helping a friend with his car. But next weekend I'm doign the works, hooking up a tach, vac gauge, AFR gauge and seeing what I can figure out with...

Alright, my car has been off the road, since the last time it ran I've torn into it. Everything on the top end has been removed and replaced. A set of good used heads went on, snugged down by a set of ARP head bolts. I checked the intake mani for cracks and bolted back down the edelbrock...

Thanks for your help so far, John. (The head unit you reccomended is exactly what i want feature-wise) It's kind of rough know what I want the system to do, but not what I need. I think I will end up getting a 9885 or similar alpine with a remote control, and mounting it in the glove box, and I...

Just bought the 4 ch amp.... But in the heat of bidding I paid more than I should've there were NIB units for a few more bucks.... Oh Well. still trying to find that head unit for the best price.

Yeah, I live in one of the nicer parts... but everything's in such close proximity.... There was someone either on this board or somewhere else that said our cars have an appeal to a certain segment of the population. I might even mount it in the glovebox and leave the stock one in place...

Alright I've read a lot, and I feel like it's all going over my head. I have a '79 cutlass, with the Stock 1979 shaft style AM radio. I would like to play CDs, and of course have the option to listen to FM radio. My taste in music varies... Punk Rock, Classic Rock, rap, etc, and I know each...

Good Catch, I tried to find the latest lunati catolog at the outset of this project, but couldn't get there from Holley's site. I'll update the list when I get a chance.

Glad I could help someone. And I appreciate knowing I helped. I think I'm just going to stick with the edelbrock cam, since it's "dyno matched" to the manifold i'm using. Best of luck! -Will
