    What did U do to your G-body today??

    I actually pulled it out of the garage and took her for a spin around the neighborhood. I bought a used Holley 3310-2 carb to replace the Demon that was not very friendly to drive. Bought a rebuild kit about 2 years ago and finally finished. I forgot what crisp throttle response was all about...

    Where are you mounting your relays???

    I cant post pics, but I used a relay setup off a s10, and a marine fuse block mounted just behind the battery (stock location). I have the relays mounted on the pass side fender above the wheel well. I liked this location as you can run the wiring in loom along the fender well to clean it up.

    Lazy/Slow shifts

    My transmission was rebuilt just before I took my car apart for the restoration about 7 years ago. Back then it had a nice firm shift, but now when under power, it has a lazy shift between all the gears. Since I've been driving the car over the last year I've put about 250 miles on it and it still has...

    Don't know about the SEM primer, but I did the same thing on my panels that are below the qtr windows and next to the seats. I used the same high build primer that I used on the body, just added the flex agent for plastics. After sanding smooth I used the SEM texture coating then primed and...

    Dome light help!

    it attaches to the roof support going across. Make sure you use really short screws so they dont touch the actual roof when screwed in, from the factoy they used little studs that screwed in then used those one way clips to hold the base up.
