Hey, looks like you're mailbox is full. Let me know when it's clear and I'll get you my info and you can let me know what you want $ for it.

Thanks for checking!

Passenger side (not sure if it matters).

PS. Anyone have a spare seat belt loop? I'm missing the passenger side.

Good to know there's still a separate lap belt restraint as a backup. I do have a replacement system to install once I start consistently driving with a passenger/ once the kid is old enough to ride in the front seat. Right now I drive on my own 99% of the time. That being said, it's a pretty...

Just replaced the plastic piece with the metal and put it all back together. Seems to pass the tilt/ gravity test.

First attempt

Haha, never been worried before... it's actually for the passenger side. Got a 1yr old now and just looking to the future. I'm actually trying to fix the old one by replacing the plastic with a metal piece. I'll do some tests afterwards to make sure it actually works and post some pics.

Broken piece

Good info, thank you! I'll teach out to both. Still a little scared about the pendulum being plastic... now I'm half worried about the driver side. 40yr old plastic piece kicking off the locking mechanism. Scary stuff.

Was putting new carpet and headliner in the 76 Volare this last weekend and when I went to reinstall the passenger seat belt, I noticed the weighted pendulum for the locking mechanism was just lying there. What are my options? I'm assuming gluing the plastic pendulum piece that snapped is not...

How far are you from Austin?

Is the 833 non- OD trans still available? Looking to replace my OD trans with an iron non-OD in my 76 volare.

Thanks all. Once I get it all cleaned up this spring I'll throw it on ebay or to the forums. Still temped to steal the sure-grip out of it, but I can always take the sale money and buy an 8.75 or something.

I just got done doing this to a pair of J heads with 2.02 intake valves. A good carbide bit and dye grinder help, but still plan on a few hours per port. Personally I wouldn't mess with sand paper cones, as you don't want perfectly smooth texture and they're pretty slow. I did a basic gasket...

Hey BudW, thanks for all the info. That all makes sense. Yes, it is a 4 Door and it does have the sure-grip. There's zero rust as it's a Colorado car, which is why I might see what it's worth before parting out. I'd probably grab the engine too, as they have stronger internals and valvetrain...

Here are the only other pics I've got from when we refreshed the valvtrain. I don't think I've got any of the interior.

It's currently stored at my dad's place in SouthWest Colorado, but I'm bringing it to Denver next summer. I'll probably put it on ebay or something similer to see if there's any interest. I'd really only need to get $2,500 out of it to buy new parts vs using it for parts. Suregrip rearends are...

Hi all, I've got a 76 Volare RoadRunner, and my dad's offered to give me his 79 Volare Police car. It's got the 360 E58 engine, which we converted to standard ignition from lean burn a couple years ago. My question for you, I wanted the car for the tighter suspension, 8.25 sure-grip rearend...

First car was a 1976 Volare RoadRunner that my dad and I found at a police impound auction back when I was 15. Originally a 318 with A833 OD trans. I still own it, and it now has a 360, 10.2:1 compression, Comp Magnum 280H cam .480 lift, gasket matched, and home ported heads with 2.02 manley...
