I thought you'd never ask!!! (LOL) 1980 and 1981 Parts Books scans attached

Same thing applies...the F/M/J-body measurements are the same.

So @Gunnar Schroder, are you clear on what FirmFeel is suggesting to you? Like @Mikes5thAve explained, the aftermarket options typically require you to remove the ISO setup and replace that with a B-body style configuration. The 'ISO-Delete Kit' has the TOP plate (the square with 5 holes)...

So there are a few points here that are very interesting to me: 1) M/E Wagner PCV - I have had this for a few years now and what a huge tuning aid this was...hopefully yours has been a great experience as well, how do you set yours up? 2) Spectra Premium gas tank w/ in-tank electric pump - oh...

I started in a somewhat spoiled of a point, that being: a fairly tight OEM power steering box (that was actually a FirmFeel unit), barely any sloop in the 12-o'clock position, the previously mentioned power steering pump pressure drop trick and basically all NEW components all around (part of...

My poor excuse for why it has remained that clean is the simple fact that I just don't get to drive it all that much during the rather brief cruising weather we get here. The Coupe is not a fire & forget ride anymore, not to say at all that it requires a certificate of some sorts to drive it...

Well, I was spoiled by the fact that I had the old engine pulled out and was installing my new W2 408 stroker build...so the engine bay was completely empty: no headers, no plumbing in the way, etc. So for what it's worth I've attached a few photos of what I started off with (header-driver.jpg)...

That's a lot of great work there!!! Nice outcome too...very cool.

Late to the party you guys - sorry, Brazil business trip, left last Saturday, came back this morning, multiple cancellations and a missed flight - but @69- hopefully that's far removed from your future experience...at least I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Alright...so yeah, local stuff...

I have the setup that @Duke5A referenced above. It was a bit of a peculiar installation in my case b/c I decided to keep my power steering pump with the factory O-ring setup (came to find out in the process that there were multiple options out there), but to Mark's earlier point, if you are...

This here is a great point!! Look, in terms of that "sucker for punishment" perspective, the approach to making car changes that I have taken has always been about improving the factory setups, as opposed to flat-out replacing with a different technology. Maybe that last part "different...

Folks, I was able to find a pair of the FirmFeel rear spring mounts along with the shackles. These are in a somewhat rough shape (see attached pic), but sound enough that a quick trip to the sand blasting cabinet will bring them right back. The seller is asking $200 CAD, so at the current...

If you can not source the butyl stuff in a tube you could try to find actual butyl tape, which is literally a roll of specific diameter butyl material. This is how glass used to be sealed, not sure what model year (for our cars) that changed, but when I was redoing my coupe I had the choice of...

Alright, let's sort through some things here! 1st - you, your 'second-half', and the soon to be here bundle of joy are your TOP priorities!!! (and you will do great at these so long as you keep that in mind) 2nd - the funding campaign should be about getting you a Labour Lawyer so that you can...

Mark! Yeah, I managed to convince them to do so for ONE winter...and holy crap, it literally took some C-suite type to OK that because "...we normally never do this, cars have to be fully insured...", blah blah...never mind that the engine was completely OUT of the car...so freaking rigid!
