1978 Chevrolet Impala review from North America
"Solid roomy car with lots of character"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator, Starter motor,
General comments?
Big busty powerful car.
I bought this for $500Cdn from a guy who used it to drive around the corner to the mall and back.
I love it since it gets the respect on the road that I don't get with my Tercel. Go figure!
Can't seem to get rid of the pinging though. Adjusted timing/changed plugs, but that helped only a little. Tried higher octane gas as well. Any ideas?
