    OE valve covers finish?

    Anodized aluminum powder coat here also but without clear. This was the only aluminum color option the shop had but I thought it was close enough. I opted to wet sand and polish the lines as well.

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    Technically now fully assembled. Happy to finally put these on after they’ve been sitting in boxes for 3 years.

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    Just thought I would update this thread on my observations after attempting to install the universal wheel cylinder bracket that was suggested. These aren’t needed to do the job but I was hoping to secure it a little tighter than what the retainer clip provides. Ultimately I don’t see how this...

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    That clip really is a pain. I was able to manage getting it off and the new one on using just some flat screwdrivers but wasn’t easy. What sucks is that I already put the one side on and now will have to take it off to put the bracket on mentioned above. I think I’ll pick up this tool also...

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    Interesting, really appreciate you sharing this. Didn’t know anything like this even existed. This is perfect! My local Napa showed they could have it in next day at $17 a piece. Just ordered a pair. Thanks!!

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    Good to know thank you. Didn’t seem right at first but if a little movement is acceptable then I won’t worry too much about it.

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    Thanks for that tip! I was also considering if there was anything else I could add to tighten it up.

    Rear Brake Wheel Cylinder Retainer Clip

    Appreciate any assistance, mainly want to confirm I installed this correctly - I’m in the process of replacing my rear brakes, have new spring hardware and replacing the wheel cylinders as well since they were fairly rusted and I just did all new stainless lines so already had those off. I got...

    GNS Performance Tach Bracket

    That’s good to hear about the fit. I bought one also but haven’t installed it yet. I’m planning on mounting a Scanmaster G here. Seemed like a great place to put it.

    Crank bolt removal

    Well I’m going to be tackling this in the next couple of weeks and thought your information was helpful so thank you. In my opinion makes more sense to add to existing threads even if they are old otherwise this forum ends up with dozens of separate ones all on the same topic or procedure.

    Body off

    I was running into this issue also and at first couldn’t figure out how to change the photo size then remembered that if you email a photo it should allow you to select the size. So you could email the photo to yourself, select a smaller file size then open the email and re-save it which should...

    Gn wheel repaint

    Turned out really nice! Very noticeable improvement. I can imagine how much of a pain it was masking those. This is a project that has been on my mind also for some time. Did you use a satin or flat black paint?

    Am I a dumb ass or what ...

    I did not know that either until you posted it. So I guess that makes two of us.

    Best Paint Choice to Match Factory Black?

    I have wondered about this also and am facing a similar problem. Original paint that needs some light repair work thanks to some kids that decided to throw eggs at the car. I know many people will say black is black but I have a hard time believing this when I can see slight differences when...

    I'm going to guess the radiator cap probably didn't change much over the years. What made it different on some of the G-body cars is that it didn't have the usual tabs on both ends.
