    Trying to add cruise as I finish up my conversion. Need to do on the cheap os I been searching around the LS forum and looks like I can use a cruise module from a late 90's S10. My 78 came with a cruise stalk. Is it possible or practical to use this stalk instead of changing out for the only...

    1978 18" direct bolt on?

    Clearance. I have stock trailing arms and stock front end. What's the widest rim and tire combo in 18"? What should back spacing be to clear, no rubbing? Same size rims so I can rotate? Front sits a little higher because of LS engine. Will lower when tires and wheels are on. I like the...

    LS MPG in swaps...

    I am getting 16-17 mpg. LS1 with cam and 2004R 3:08 gears. 1800 rpm at 60 mph. Should get better longer it runs and more tuning. Can't seem to keep my foot out of it and really don't have any long highway miles yet.

    Insurance carrier?

    Anyone ever filed a claim with Classic Collectors Insurance underwritten by Infinity Insurance Company. Same coverage as Hagarty and 1/4 of price. Insuring a 78 custom restro mod for 25K. Or for that matter are you insured with them.

Last summer I had Flowmaster Delta 40's installed and they are to loud for my liking but I am going to stay with them for a while as they cost me around $450 to get installed. Been thinking about the exhaust and how it has a drone...

    Electric brake booster?

    I think the Buick gran nationals use a 12v electric brake booster. Any one swap one of these in your C3? I have an LS engine that don't want to use any vacuum if I can figure out a swap. I already have the electric headlight conversion.
