Can anyone help?

Only recently bought the Ultima, where I am experiencing some problems.Has anyone any tips on the following

Best outlet to purchase engine gaskets for 383 Chevy enforcer engine?

Also has anyone had problems with Ultima speedo. Mine is getting a signal which gives various speed readings, when the engine is running, when the car is stationary or a low speeds, up to 200mph! Also the mileometer clocks on as if it doing 200mph!

Best method to remove road wheels, since they appear to be corroded to the axle!

thanks

Nick

My speedo was giving erratic readings.

Fitted a new sender and it's now perfect.
Only a 10 min job as well.

Gaskets from someone like Real Steel but you may need to know more like what heads are fitted in order to get the right model of gasket. My choice would be Felpro.

Speedo is most likely the gap between the pickup and the star wheel. Don't have that type so someone else will have to give you the dimension but suspect it is about 1mm.

Wheels may have to be brute force unless you can get the centre out and WD40 it.
