Once you get the thrust set on your pinion its a good idea to drive it and check it a few times. Usually the endplay gets looser so you have to pop the drive shaft off and snug the pinion nut . Not a bad idea to put a dial indicator on it and throw out that break in oil when you do this.

I did this conversion on my 68 Camaro rear end that I put under a 1946 GMC. I bought two 1/4 Inch axle shims, put between backing plate and axle housing. To get correct the correct spacing for caliper bracket. Then bought two left side emergency brake cables for a blazer. I used a 4 wheel disc master cylinder and porp valve. Worked out pretty good.

You already did the work, but I would have suggested getting the seat frames from that '91 Ciera, remove the G6 seats from their frames, and figure out how to mount the G6 seats to the Ciera frames. You may have been able to avoid cutting the floor.

I was the first to do an LX9 swap (Malibu 3.5) in an A-body on my '96 Century, and used '97 Lumina throttle and cruise cables. I did not have to modify my pedal at all to make it work. I only had to massage the hole in the firewall a little bit to accept the grommet. I'm currently running an LA1 56 mm throttle body, but I will be upgrading to an LX5 65 mm soon, and using an Aurora 3.5 cruise module and cable for that. As an A-body enthusiast, I am very excited to see the finished product. L67 swaps have been done, but I believe this will be the first manual transmission L67 in an A-body.
@tuningwithstyx4 ай бұрын
That sounds like a really cool build, pretty unique for sure! Good to know about the pedals too, I'll have to do some more part shopping next time I'm in the junkyard since they still have a 96 cutlass there right now.

Great description in the 1st half, and showing what's generally happening with a few different options. I've bought parts for some elaborate evac options, but not installed, yet. Haven't dealt with any fumes over the years (maybe concern for worn ring cars), but the condensation is certainly an issue with shorter drives and lower t-stats. As long as you toss a catch can in-line to eliminate the gunk being drawn back in, especially ahead of the turbo, it is nice to have a draw working right.

I think 87 - 88 Chevy Celebrity and Pontiac 6000's had hydraulic clutches so there is an OEM pedal somewhere for this if you could even find one of those cars anymore. Last time I even saw a Pontiac 6000 was like 15 years ago and I think it was an auto.
