Want to buy rear posi setup for 79 regal its the same as the newer model setups . I don't have the skill to change out the gears and would like to buy the whole axel and all of a reliable setup. Also need a distributer (working) for the older model engine with the turbo control center (79)...

Thanks everybody for the replies!! I hadn't come back here until now because I thought my email would let me know there was a response, but it didn't. I didn't know about the valves but will have them checked to make sure they are torqued down as it just came from the builder . The engine...

Where should I set the timing on my 79 turbo? What about the valves?

Thanks for the post. So happens there is a AutoZone in the next town over and I was able to get one. It came with the rubber things too. Thanks hensleyt Now I need a distributor. The one I have works but can't be hooked to the ESC

I need a radiator that will go right in. I'm missing one rubber, oh I don't know what it's called, maybe a cushion that keeps the top and bottom of the radiator from resting on the sheet metal, and wondering if anyone sells a direct replacement with the bushings? I don't need a 30 row...

Well it's running but the rear main seal is leaking so bad I'm going to take it out again and have a neoprene one put in. Should have done it to begin with. A guy told me to run the engine until the rope seal soaks up enough oil to stop leaking. Doesn't sound right to me! The bad thing is...

I does my heart good to read that. Rich, are you rebuilding your own engine? I sure hope I get mine running before you do. I pulled mine months ago and sent it out to boot. I hope to have it on the road before spring. The key word is hope. Is this your 82 and does it have a ESC...

A little tip: Put all trans cooler lines back before reinstalling the engine. Another tip: Summit sells great flexible trans cooler hoses. Put the carb, plenum and turbo in as one unit today. There has to be a better way! I finally got the thing installed but that oil return that comes on the...

My 79 doesn't have a puter but I had the exact symptoms and like Shawnr said, it was the cam. I wouldn't think at 30 thousand it would be worn that bad. My clicking/knock noise was the valve guides on the bad lobes. I had 71 thousand on it and didn't think that was a high miler. I put an...

Thanks hensleyt! I was afraid I was going to have to start her up and see where it shot out. Now I have to fish the lines back through because I forgot to put them back before I dropped the engine back in. I realized my mistake when I was putting the starter in. I weigh 121 and that starter...

how many miles are on the engine?

Thanks hensleyt ! Where the cooler lines go in and out of the 350 trans I have are above one another behind the starter on the trans casing. Do you know which one of those holes is the pressured one to the radiator? Upper or lower? Thanks

OK. I don't know if this is important or not but in case it is I would like to know which goes where. The cooler lines on the 350 trans I have are above one another behind the starter on the trans casing. Does it matter which one goes to the top inlet of the radiator? Thanks

I know everyone is holding their breath to find out if I got the engine back in the car today. Well exhale and catch a breath. Its in and mated to the trans, but that's it. In a few days I'll put in the starter in so I can bolt the flex plate to the converter. Engine is so tight I want to...

Thanks Rich. I'm going to go that way (brackets) and hope to put the engine back in the car Wednesday next. Thanks!

Yours is the look I'm going for. Does the other bracket come with it? Mine had AC and the bracket is a big two piece. I don't know what "re-clock the alternator" means. I was going to cut the two pieces down to just enough to support the alt. but am afraid I might decide to use the AC...

Has anyone used the TA non a/c alt. bracket? If so, how is the tension kept on the alt. belt?

Sounds good. I thought about JB Weld but the screw is good too. Back in high school I just sat and waited for my 50 Chevy to warm up and then drove away.

That is a beautiful car Rich. If you had poster it 2 months ago I would have bought it. Well worth the money! After what I have just spent on my rag the wife would kill me if I even thought about it now. What a deal!

The EFE actuator on the drivers side exhaust header must have a purpose and I have no idea what it is. I thought I saw a recent post where some one elemated it but can't remember where I read it. I printed out a page from www.beforeblack.net and see a vacuum line going from the EFE/EGR TVS...
