78-83 Malibu's all have different nose/grill AND taillights, make sure they match or a savvy tech guy will ding you. The elco's have different nose/grill for each year until the later ones but the rear bumper and taillights are all the same which also applies to the wagons, all the same. You cannot use after market nose, it must be the original pieces including any spoilers. The 305 4bbl combo is tuff, there a lot of them running (Camaro/Firebird) and the fast ones are really fast. The 79 Malibu 305 carry's 5 HP more than the others, thanks to Billy Lynn ;-)
