I love the 73-77 GM cars. Thats a fine example, despite the little flaws here and there. Great stance too, that car has some attitude.

These cars were called the forgotten generation from 73-77.
I have a 1976 Malibu Classic Black in color.
It had the week 305 engine in it.
It now has a 1994 TBI 454 (throttle body injected) with the first gen electronic overdrive transmission (basically a electronic 700R4 transmission).
Funny thing is the original 305 was 210hp and the 454 is 230hp, but 300ft lbs of torque
There is a vacuum leak somewhere causing a high idle situation
I have similar issues with the left rear quarter with the paint cracking that was done in lacquer paint and the rest of the car is in enamel paint
The a/c dashes always are cracked unless you have a non a/c dash they seem not to crack right down the middle or look like the one this car has
The only way I will ever get rid of this car if someone has a 1978 Dodge Lil Red Express truck that I possibly could trade for.
I would not care if the engine or trans run in that truck I would swap it out for a newer Hemi engine in it.

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but that's a 76 front grill. The 77's had a slotted grill while the 76's had that honeycomb grill.

1979 a guy down the street had a 455 ss this body style. I think a 1973 or 1974 ? it was a cool car too.

By the way the sr torquer heads will cost about $850 ready to bolt on no prep necessary which is cheaper than machining a used set if heads.

[kesterhively]

I really like those cars I had a white one i loved

[paulhare]

Double the throttle spring, get a pcv system operating properly, fix the choke, set to specs, should run nice.

[daviddobras]

Great job on the video bud. Can’t wait too see where it goes

[jasonhastings]

I had one of those steering wheels!!!!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[tazman]

Yeah the 77 Monte Carlo and the 77 Malibu have almost the same front end with the duel stacked square headlights. Iwas never a fan of them years but now that I'm older they are a little better then before but I like the Luguna's better then the Malibu's of 77 I like the late 70's early 80's Malibu's even more then them years of Malibu's

[MrDONNIEKOONCE]

Would you like to sale it the way it Sits now

[michelleprindle]

Had to look at the tv … thought it was Vice Grip Garage…. He sounds like he in attempting to imitate Derick .. says same stuff trying to be amusing.. give it up!!

[vestal]

What are those screws on front of carnb?

[kesterhively]

Myself i would get rid of the electric fuel pump

[jasonhastings]

Did you check timing? She alil to far advanced now

[kesterhively]

Yes those big tires will beat the quarter panel to death

[neillutz]

You want to trade for a 87 firebird trans am base model t top 2.8 V6 5 speed manual transmission with nitros car's in great shape

[douglasvanriper]

Ok if you want that motor to run properly take those 305 heads and chuck them in the garbage, they have very small intake runners and small valves. Do yourself a favor go buy a set of world products sr torquer heads they have the smaller combustion chamber and 1.94 in. 1.50 in. Valves as apposed to 1.78 in. and 1.48 in. intake and exhaust valves respectively and vortex style intake and exhaust runners. The 305 heads will never give you power over 4500 rpm on a 350(5.7 liter) they are way too airflow restrictive for a 350. That motor will make good torque just off idle and fall flat on its face at about 4000 to 4500 rpm. Seriously those heads a junk smog heads.

[deanerbes]

you were already too far advanced on the timing and then you went even more.
