Trans Am Crashes In Australia
Trans Am Crashes in Australia I hate seeing car crashes I really do, now when there is a Trans Am involved it kinda stings a little more. As the proud owner of a 76 Trans Am it would devastate me if I had hit something or heaven forbid someone hit me. Musclecars are getting rarer and rarer by the moment so when one is lost beyond repair well it is indeed a sad day. Now many cars can be saved and anything is possible. But sadly even the basic body repairs are really expensive nowadays..
76 Trans Am Ignition Tumbler Gear Replacement
76 Trans Am Ignition Tumbler Gear Replacement Tools needed… Steering Wheel Puller, steering column lock plate retaining ring removal tool. Assorted flat and Phillips-head screwdrivers (The screws to remove the column housing can be a bitch) And a lock ring removal tool, however, I used a very thin flathead and a piercing awl (It was a pain in the ass but it worked) A nice pick and hook set works a lot better! So like many Trans Am/Camaro owners, our cars are basically old the plastic parts are becoming weak and brittle. Back in 1999 when I had my ’78… Read More

DKM Macho T/A What are We Talking About?
DKM Macho T/A What are We Talking About? About 30 31 years ago I was walking around the swap meet at the old Englishtown New Jersey racetrack. I was looking for parts for my recently acquired 1978 400 4 speed Trans Am. When I came across this pretty cool-looking Trans Am with weird decals on it. It was in good condition for a car a little over 10 years old, but I thought someone slapped the decals on it to make it more than what it was. Mind you this was years before the internet so I just couldn’t go… Read More

455 SUPER DUTY Trans Am vs 455 HO GTO
The 455 HO GTO is a 4 Speed manual and the 455 SD Trans Am is equipped with GM’s Turbo 400 automatic transmission. According to the guys of Road Test T.V. Now after watching the video and if you listen to the GTO it sounds a little more healthier than normal. To be Honest the 1972 GTO 455 HO was only rated at 300 Horsepower with the new net ratings which was supposedly the true power of the motor with all the accessories attached and going through the transmission. The previous years all the motors had a gross Horsepower which… Read More

The 1975 Trans Am had many changes the signaled that the end of all fire breathing go fast scare your grandmother Musclecars has left the building. This would be the first year for the Catalytic Converter that choked the last life of whatever the Big 400 or 455 HO (Later that year) had left. The dual exhaust manifolds left the motor but were led into a single inlet converter These “two-way” converters combine oxygen with carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbons (CₙHₙ) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The catalyst support or substrate. For automotive catalytic converters, the core is usually a ceramic monolith that has a honeycomb structure (commonly square, not hexagonal).
