Re: need help with radio
pop off the plastic around the dash and radio. It should slide right out i memory serves me. If you arent good with soldering, take the project to your local car audio shop. They could use the biz.

Re: RamJet 350 Swap
What was the part number for that Trans flex plate cover i see in your picks? I've ordered two different and they both didn't fit the 4l60e. I've been driving without one for 40K miles.

Re: V6 turbo - Typhoon & Cyclone
Where can I find a Syclone engine, how much will it cost, and how do I get it into my Astro?? :muhaha: Thats the point. You have one for the most part in a stock Astro.

Re: regulater
If you do need new spiders check these out for my V8 ... they also make them for the v6. Cali emission versions. They are Multitec II injectors. I list the part numbers for both on the old astro site...i think.
