Limey, did a wire harness swap a while back on a 77 Malibu that I eventually sold. The engine harness donor was a 76 Laguna. Everything plugged in nicely and had only one issue. I could not get the horn to work. Come to find out the harness was pinned differently for the horn from 76 to 77. Popped that pin out and placed it where it would be for a 77 and then worked perfectly. Hope this helps.

WELLLL 454 Valve covers FINALLY SOLD took a big hit on them but they paid for the 15x10 wheels and short derby Caps and had $6 bucks left over woo hoo
Cant go outside because of the wildfires from Canada thanks for that EHHH ! anyways 8 days now stuck in house except picking up daughter from work Tuesday other than that I have been isolated in house Anyways the dream of Having 15x10 15x8 with short derby caps (NON ORIGINAL's) is finally here (yes I am keeping the Turbines but getting them restored over winter)

Added the other 10" drive side Rally wheel tire and the two drive side Short Caps and dam .......
Well Looks like I am adding drop the 1" drop springs to front unless it settles more with transmission, exhaust and driveshaft in there I do not like the high front end and that is with the 454 Installed.

Did you consider the weight of the A.I.R. system, weight of water in cooling system, and the AC compressor, condenser, hoses, etc.?

No I am not running them, the car sat like this even with the 305 and the garb on it rear sat even lower till I added new springs and this is how it ended Up, It's almost like they put new springs in it before I got it, I am not sure about that though I know it's too high in front.

That is about the meanest looking G3 Chevelle I've seen. What is the story about the grille? The first pictures showed a 77 grille but then showed what looks like a 75 grille. I didn't see an explanation but may have missed it.

It came from a Member here and was the same as My Original Black SE had back when the previous Owner before me Had it and I loved the look and when I was offered this one I DIDN'T hesitate one second
Previous owner circa 1988 before storing till 2012 When I purchased it
