i just have to decide on the color of the stripe and what i want on it.
for example Do it match the stripe to the color of the wheel or the color of the other stripes already on the car. i am leaning heavy to the color of the stripes already on the car.
the next thing is What do i want on the stripes? Chevelle in script like this

I would match them to the color of the stripes on the car for sure.
I think the text should refer to the turbo motor if you plan to keep it in there which I surely hope. My preference would be whats on the buicks' hoods
"3.8 SFI Turbo"

Yea its cool in idea but probably not the best.
I would say what ever it is it just needs to be timeless. Nothing that will look weird in a couple years.

this is the 2nd one that i have had to change in 3 months
So i ditched the hard plastic line and went with a hose from the Vacuum block to the MAP sensor
while i was at it i checked the PCV valve, it leaks like crazy So i now have to replace that too.
anyways i ended up removing and replacing the two back (PCV & MAP) metal vacuum lines with rubber hoses.
BTW its a PIA to get the zip ties on the vacuum block end of the lines.
i am now shopping for a good PCV or a good check valve.:frown:
