I own a Grand National myself and a 83 Buick Regal. Thank God you saved that car from the scrap yard!
Appreciate you watching! Glad you enjoyed and make sure to check the rest of the series!
Excellent how-to, very direct straight forward and clear. Made it look easy! Nice to see someone wearing safety glasses too. Never a bad idea.
Love helping people out and try to do my best wit the how to on these rebuilds.
I think im not the only guy from tiktok who wants to see a vid about the gokart
haha
Damn a gn at pull a part it's a miracle to see a g body let alone a gn
Congratulations 🎊 👏
Well they are the ones that "found" it as they pulled it aside when it came in. I could only dream of the find myself LOL.
Any updates on this car, can't wait to see future updates. I would love to see this car back on the road.

After a 12mo marathon, I just finished resorting my 1987 Monte Carlo SS. Dixie Restoration Depot asked for pics. I sent them an email and specifically called you out as being an incredible knowledge source. Thank You!
Really appreciate it! Enjoy your Monte
So glad your back
Other than injectors, check the MAF - that can cause it to stumble and under throttle. Also, coil behind the dog house.
This reminds me of my 2nd GN I had and rebuilt. Went through almost the same process you are.
Currently I have a 60k original mile Turbo Regal T. Love it!
Keep up the good work. You’ll get that thing running good very soon!
Yeah it could be the MAF as well
@@ClassicGBodyGarage Thank you for this video! I just ordered a replacement tank and sending unit for my 78 Malibu. Shout out to @MrGriffin23
I’m so glad you changed your mind!
Welcome back! Keep the vids coming
thanks!
Can a fuel cell fit in a 1984 regal
More more more esp el caminos
Yes, welcome back!
Same to you!
Great vid buddy! Never disappoints
I cant wait for you to show us her coming back to life!
Thank you for your videos.
...and thank you for watching!
Injectors probably went bad. You can bench test them if you have the time or just send them off for a rebuild. I watched Ant on Wheeler Dealers bench test a set of four injectors on a GTI today. Those things have a lot of flow going through them, if one is off the car will run rough but when a bunch are jacked up the car will run like Scrap National! Thanks for the video!
Great info and love Ant on WD. I hope the injectors are plugged and plan to handle it all and then some in the next video. thanks for watching
Dude why u stop posting videos
Nice to see you on the tube again!!!
Hey, thanks!
Classic GBody Garage
It’s me “jimi2shoe” from Instagram bitching about you not on being UA-cam enough haha

Great video Brian. Can’t wait to see what you get into next.
More to come!
Hey man it's been a whole
year. How about another

Hope all is well. Me n UA-cam are waiting on some updates

Hey welcome back!
Hey welcome back
Good to be back!
Hey there just found your channel and hope you continue to do work on g bodies and keep posting videos for us out there that still enjoy these cars... Just looking through your videos and can't believe how many gbody cars you've come across and worked on over the last 11 years that you've been posting... I'll keep watching your older videos and use them to help me continue building my 79 monte carlo landau and 78 Cutlass supreme brougham...😁😁😁😁
Thanks for watching. yeah I am always working on them. I post mainly to the Classic Gbody Garage Facebook and Instagram pages. I have more videos in the works as well.
Before starting an engine that has been sitting for years with old gas, even if the tank was replaced, you first need to purge out all the old gasoline that may remain on the lines & in the system. Open up a line at the engine area, activate the fuel pump till all the old yellowy-orangy fuel flushes out & you see new gasoline come out for a while. This will also help out clear out any loose sediment from metal lines & light gasoline varnish. If you don't do this, some of that crap will get into your injectors or carburetor, then good look adding much more work & headaches to your project. People may think that the old gas from a car that's been sitting for years may have vaporized, but this is just a safety precaution. Remember, purging the gas till new gas comes out, also clears out sediment & other harmful materials.
I bought a 87 GN out of the salvage yard about 10 years ago. It was sitting on the floor pan without and rims on it. I wish UA-cam would allow pictures because I'd show you how I found it.
follow me on Instagram at classicgbodygarage and send them to me there
She's definitely worth investing come cash into. Hope videos will start happening more often now that it's warmer up north where you are.
Yes sir!
Love these vids, I’m tryna buy a gbody regal with my dad so we can fix it up and remember the good old days when I was a kid and my dad had his car
Thanks what its all about!
Man once you get injectors cleaned or swapped and fool with those fan relays you’ll be on to transmission hopefully without to many surprises. I got a rear end out of one of those that had been sitting for at least 15 yrs(wrecked in front) when I popped that cover off man it was nasty AF in there. Lookn forward to next video
Hey buddy here to show you support 👍👍👍🤘🤘video
Thanks! I subbed to your channel.
great video!! but please jack up the car and cut off the extra zip tie length from those rubber isolators on the tank I won't be able too sleep knowing they are under there lol
Done!
Also just came to mind if the vacuum lines are good. Only 3 sensors can be causing the issue. I would start with the MAF sensor, then IAC, and then the TPS sensor. I would change one and see if it runs better. If not change another then check.
Thanks for the feedback!
After all that work, to not clear out the fuel lines and rail is an interesting decision. (also, probably the injectors need cleaning.
Edit: Well, yep.
Watch my latest video and yes I did clear the lines during this job and again in my latest video. Appreciate the comments and support for watching my video.
Hi Classic G body garage I would like to see more of the Grand National work on !
More to come!
I witch this guy had the time to do the videos like he did back when i first subed there the only ones that dont skip 90% of the stuff you need to know but work hads to come before videos
I really appreciate your support. I do plan to create more videos soon. But yes time is minimal anymore
@@ClassicGBodyGarage in the mean time il watch the dupa color ones with the Gbody thats been coming out
hes back
Really helpful video, just about to pull the gas tank and replace the pump in my own. I was wondering, when you jack up the front of the car, where are you putting jack stands/jack?
Haven't seen any new videos in over a year. Just wondering if things are ok really enjoy the channel . I myself have owned 7 G body's over the last 37 years.
Please follow classicgbodygarage on Instagram for the latest on my projects. Much more to come. Thanks for keeping tabs.
What happened...been waiting for the next step of work.
I have 4 videos I am in the process of editing. Stay tuned. Thanks
they need to do a silent raffle donate for tickets ! Brian Suter you along with the boys from pull a part set it up !!
Maybe at some point it will get raffled off. I need to finish the car first. Working on videos now.
Might wanna check the vacuum lines, TPS SENSOR, or IAC sensor can cause it not to idle.
Many things to check out.
Working on the same project with the same car, keep the videos coming we missed you mann
Awesome and thanks!
The tank and fuel pump were replaced before you got the car. That is a Monte Carlo SS tank and it looks like a Walboro 307 or 355 pump
where have you been the last 6 months?
Follow Classic Gbody Garage on Instagram and you will see all of the other projects I have been working on.
I'm tipping the car was sitting a while when you got it so injectors are probably gummed up.
I would have to agree
Lets hope this is the case. I will be going through this in the next video.
I'd change injectors and regulator!...and check for vacuum leaks l...
Any updates on this
The injectors should be checked regardless. If they are clean and functioning properly, that would be a miracle for how long it sat and bad gas.
for sure, I am really hoping this is the main issue. thanks for watching.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage Thanks for sharing. I always like the GNs. That was nice that PullAPart gave you a call on letting you know they had one. Maybe some brake clean or starting fluid to spray around the motor to find vacuum leaks as well.
Don't forget to check under the dash for vacume lines. Had a 79 Olds Slant back Sedan, there were several vacume lines under the dash to the heater /AC box that were leaking. Is there a cruise control system on this classic? These were also attached to the vacume system as well.
I am surprised you didn't clean and paint with epoxy paint the retaining straps to the tank. I would have even painted the tank under the rubber strips as well with epoxy. Every little bit done now is something that will not need attention for quite some time. One big question? Did the salvage yard sell this with a clean title?
I am not concerned about painting anything on this car. Getting it running right is first priority. Good call on the dash vacuum lines. I am aware of them but need to check them. Pull A Part never let the title go as scrap so it's clean.
How u doing brother iv Ben watchin for a while. I'm in the process of pulling my V6 from my 1980 cutlass supreme brougham would be awesome if you make a video of how you would do it because you explain the process of every thing very well let me know if you have any tips
Hey Richard. Thanks for your support. I do plan to make a video of engine pulling this summer but as for now you need to remove everything connected to the engine. Exhaust, mounts, fuel lines, throttle cable, wire harness, battery cables, AC lines be carful if the system is charged, ground wires, power steering lines and so on.
hey bro thanks for your videos. have you ever had to replace a orange shift indicator pointer? thanks in advance.
Yes it is not that difficult to pull the clusters apart.
Any 81 Monte parts? Love the Buick
I have random interior parts that would fit otherwise nothing specific
can you do a video on replacing the throttle valve sensor cable mine had started leaking trans fluid from the bolt by the bellhousing
I would join Classic Gbody Garage on Facebook and ask a group member as I have no need to replace my cable to make the video. I am certain you will find someone who has within my group. Thanks
When's the next video?
Working on a 85 monte for hobby class oval track racing. I put racing springs 13 " tall in the rear. The problem is my shocks now to out. Any idea what shocks would be 4-5 " 's longer? Love what you do! Any help is truly appreciated.
I have no idea as I don't modify cars like this. Consult an oval track page on facebook to find out tips on building track cars.
When fixing a G Body 305 valve cover gasket leak what do you use? Rubber gasket, cork? Do you use sealer glue? I removed my drivers valve cover gasket on my 86 SS, scrapped off all cork and used a rubber gasket with some black sealer type Permatex and it still leaks
Cork with a light layer of RTV. Let it tack up so the gasket doesn't slide around when installing.
How do I install the headliner clips to a 79 Monte when I bought the car it didn't have headliner or dome light or even the wiring for the dome light but I wired it n It's ready to go for the headliner but I never took one off or put one in
Great videos
How about replacing window weather strips? I have a Monte Carlo 85 but all Gbody are the same plz help..🙏🏼
I have 1 video on replacing door dew wipe weather strips.
Okay TY I’m gonna check out
the cable from the carb to trans
What about it
I have a GBody 82 Regal 231 v6 carb question. How do you tell if you need Open or Closed Loop replacement Carb ?
Never heard of such a thing. Should just be one type.
@Classic GBody Garage any Gurus on the Obd2 troubleshooting for these early 82 Buick 231’s that you recommend.?
Question: gas tank pops sometimes what can be causing that? Got new gas cap. Got a new fuel pump.
Make sure your purge valve is not stuck closed or your vent line off the tank to the canister isn't plugged.
Just conveniently skipped over that o- ring right.
The sending unit o'ring? No I covered that.
Where can I purchase that fuel tank fuel pump and sending unit from?
Do you have any Troubles Filling it with Gas with that GM307C? I just installed it and Its clicking the Pump Off all the Time.
Your vent line is plugged or purge valve is stuck closed.
Hello! Are you still having new videos you tube or are you on another platform? Thanks
I have been heavy on Instagram. Will get back to UA-cam at some point. Thanks for your support!
Hey man is there any way I can bypass the charcoal canister in my 83 cutlass. I planned on running the evap line straight to the evap module on the manifold but not sure if it would cause any problems.
Just leave the vent line open with a differential vent cap on it.
Who in their right mind would send a GRAND NATIONAL to the boneyard?!?
Yeah no kidding
Someone completely stupid that didn't realize what they had or mybe the city towed it and forced the owners had who knows
Do you have any 87-88 cutlass euro grills and headlight trim bezels?
do not
Hey do you know where I can get the clips and hardware to install my armrest to the original center console for my cutlass I’m trying to convert to floor shifter but I need get some parts for the console first including the mounting bolts...can you guys please help me?
NAPA Auto Parts most likely has it or something that will work.
Help please question New Transmission install 1988 Monte Carlo SS 2004R floor shifter have 1st-2nd-3rd gear healthy but won’t go into 4th
Make sure your detent cable is adjusted correctly at the throttle cable bracket. Trans cable is below that on the same bracket.
Classic GBody Garage just found out have bad Tps on carb used paper clip code 21 would that cause my car not to accelerate pass Certain speed and not go passed 3rd gear ?
Hello I was wondering do you ever get your hands on cutlass supreme just for parts I'm in need of a parts car for 1987 cutlass supreme
I have parts, email me at classicgbodygarage@gmail.com
I have a 1987 cutlass supreme, when I bought it the people before me put a little toggle switch in that you have to flip to turn ignition power on. Then you use the key, also you have to use the toggle switch to shut the car off. I looked and there is no power going to the main ignition wire for the coil, so the way they did it was run a wire off the battery and to the switch. I’m at a loss and any help would be great!
Well you need power going to the coil or it won't have spark. All I can suggest is remove everything they did and put it back to factory. I can't really help because I am not sure what they did exactly. This is something you need to start digging into and find out exactly what they did to rig it up.
Classic GBody Garage Thank you! I finally figured it out. The ignition Control module under the steering column was bad.
Do you have a parts list? I'm putting my 87 back together and want to replace the fuel tank and a few other parts.
I bought everything you see in the video off rockauto except the lines.
For the car not running try the starter or battery
It cranks fine, starter and battery has nothing to do with it
Have you replaced the intake manifold gaskets?
No not yet.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage That might be a good idea.
I know it may be simple but when you don’t know, you don’t know. Can you explain or show how the fender wells are installed?
I have an 84 Regal
Is there part 5!?
at some point there will be
I need the sending unit for a Chevy Monte Carlo 4.3 fuel injection you know where I can find it??
rockauto
@@ClassicGBodyGarage thanks
Classic GBody Garage just found out have bad Tps on carb used paper clip code 21 on 88 Monte Carlo SS, would that cause my car not to accelerate pass Certain speed and not go passed 3rd gear ? Had transmission rebuilt
No it means your detent cable is not adjusted properly. Have them adjust it.
Classic GBody Garage I stretched detent cable when uninstalling but had shop install rebuilt transmission told shop to buy new detent cable if it was worn or broken they told me it was fine and adjusted, to order new one would you know proper length OEM cable 2004R or should get The universal 2004R/700R4 cable?
I have a 84 cutlass and I'm considering buy the year one super stock stagger 17 inch set from jegs. Will I have any trouble(front 17*8 rears 17*9)?
You will have to ask the manufacture of the wheels.
@@ClassicGBodyGarage ok, thanks.
And maybe for the stink it’s the exhaust or a exhaust leak
Its def old gas smell.
Hi I have a 79 Monte Carlo needs some interior panels and seat what cars are interchangeable with the 79 Monte Carlo
Tarvan Sanders probably the elcamino of the same year
any 2 door Gbody other than the Malibu style roof line. The upper back panels are different in all cars.
So everything else will fit
hey bro I see you have access to lot of gbodys. do you sell any of the parts online?
I have parts on ebay. You can also follow along on Instagram under classicgbodygarage
Question can a grand national rear end axle work and fit on a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic or does the axle have to be from a b body axle?
will not swap
Classic GBody Garage ok guess I have to stick with a B body rear axle

They are coming.
Is the gn up for sale

I have a 1982 Chevy Malibu Classic Wagon 267 V8 and the speedometer needle broke. Do you know anywhere I can get a replacement needle for the speedometer? I have looked on quite a few different websites and haven’t had any luck. I’m not sure if I am not looking at the correct things but can anyone help me please?
