    Nova/Skylark Interior

    Guys, I need all of the plastic interior parts for a '75-'78 Nova concours or Skylark landau. I'm out here in California and the sun has killed mine. I'm hoping that one of you knows where one of these cars are at in a junk yard and will help me out. I don't care about the color. I can paint...

    turbo 400 yoke question

    I've got a short shaft turbo 400 with a bolt on yoke out of a truck. Will a regular slip yoke from a short shaft turbo 400 from a car work on it? Is there anything I'd have to do to make it work?

    Torque spec?

    I've got a gen 5 454 engine. I've read that the rockers are torqued as opposed to having the lash set. I've looked and can't find what the spec is for them. Anyone know?

    73-75 a body interior parts

    Living out here in the desert (california) the plastic interior parts become brittle and disintigrate. So I could use interior parts that'll fit a 73-75 Regal, Cutlass, Grand Prix or Monte Carlo.

    2000 v6 camaro won't start

    Here's the story. My nephew back in Ohio replaced a rear brake line (a steel one) on his Camaro. When he started it to pull it off of the ramps he told me that it was running real rough and then popped and stalled. Now it wont start. He can hear the fuel pump prime the system. He tried to get it...

    BBC water pump question.

    I'm wondering other than the length, is there any difference between a long and short water pump? Is one more preferable over the other?

    WTB: serpentine belt set up for 454

    I'd like that factory set up for a newer 454. I don't need the A/C pump, just the alt, p/s, and idler and all of the mount brackets.

    What's this engine code?

    I just picked up a 454. The block # is 1405445. The best that I could come up with was a mercruiser 454, but I'd like to know for sure. Also, the head # is 14081045. Can't find anything on that number. I'm going to guess that they're junk, but you never know! Thanks
