After replacing the 305 with a 350, the old alternator looks terrible. I want to replace with a chrome unit but cant find the right fit. Jegs has a Powermaster , chrome with 140 Amps, but wont guarantee fit. Does our original have a 130 case. My part # is 321-383 10463092 with 105 amp, would like more Amps and in chrome. I have the tag on old alternator with part numbers and such. But Jegs say they cant cross reference My numbers to theres. What have you done?

Last year I sold a 64 Vette on Bat. Had a professional photographer take lots of professional shots. Was aware of all fees up front and and a very smooth transaction. Would do it again.

Just came on BAT a 63 R2 4 speed, looks really nice.

Engine is in and running, ready for show season and cruzing

Glue on to Windshield. There's a special glue for that. The only glued on piece is the mirror holder, mirror base then slides into slot. You might luck out with mirror fitting the bracket on windshield so mirror will slip right in without pulling old glued on bracket.

When I got my 89 the inside mirror was missing. Found a suitable replacement on Amazon and installed it.

Engine is built and is being dropped in as I write this. Went with a mildly built 350. Did all new hoses in engine compartment and had radiator gone thru. Painted engine to match exterior of car. Most of red cant be seen now with engine in. Waiting on new A/C lines to install and new Alternator. Should be on the road next week in time for first car show on 4/18.

A black 89 just came up on BAT website. Needs a lot of work.

Thanks for hijacking the conversation with bickering. I'm truly looking for constructive comments

I'm 90% convinced to replace my 112k mile 305 original engine in my 89. Probably going to put in an ATK 350ci 290 HP. They have the engine fully dressed or long block. Fully dressed includes carb that is NOT injected like my original so needing to remove the ECM. Opinions ! on removing ECM or just getting the long block and putting my Carb and distributer on new engine.. Thoughts appreciated. Its a winter project.

Coming home from a car show last week on a very hot day, I turned on the A/C. Worked fine and then I notice a 11 volt reading on dash volt meter. shut off A/c and it went back to 12 volts. Has always read 12 volts while normal operation. Noticed same with lights on. Did a reading on battery, with multi meter, not running, read 12.6 volts . Started car, read 14.2 on multimeter at idle. Gauge in car at 12 volts. Turned on lights and A/C while idling, gauge in car dropped to 11 volts, multimeter read 14.0. Appears charging system works fine, never had any starting issues, so probably bad gauge? If so I can ignore till I have a need to tear into dash which needs a few light bulbs. Opinions?? Dan

Do 89's have a remote power door lock?

There is a devise called a Wheel Fitment and Simulator tool. It allows a tire shop to mount this in a tire of any size apply to your car and determine back spacing and off set. Your local tire shop should have one.
