If using an 700 trans with a holley you will probably need one of these as well. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-700204

I wouldn't use the disc disc master until you put rear disc on the car. For disc drum I'd probably just use a larger disc drum unit like the caprice one. Though many people have reported good results with the stock g master when upgrading to blazer front discs. Your mileage may vary.

I did the blazer brake upgrade on my 81 grand prix (front and rear) a bunch of years ago. What you ultimately use is up to you but a can tell you what I used for my swap. Blazer discs front and rear Proportioning valve from an 84 el Dorado, since they had 4 wheel disc and are similar in size...

Maybe it's an issue of re coating it outside the recommended window? I know there are lots of products that will bubble and or lift if applied to soon or too late after the first coat.

No that's a e brake pad from some caddy or maybe buick from the 90's. Same size as our e brake pads but the design matches the brake pedal pads in our cars perfectly and has the stainless trim

I have found a few of the trimmed pedals over the years, pagrunt is correct only found on grand prix and then only early ones. Like 78 and maybe 79. Side note I did find that there are some 90's buicks or probably caddies that use the same e brake pad as our cars and have a stainless trim on...

Also all the #5 and #6 heads had the same size combustion chamber regardless of application. Which I believe was like 64cc or so. The only difference in the heads between the 2 and 4bbl engines was valve size. Unfortunately again the only way to verify that is to remove the heads and measure the...

To my knowledge only the 68-70 4bbl 350's were high compression. Having 5 or 6 heads is a good starting point but those heads were also used on the low compression 2bbl engines as well. Both flavors were also all painted gold until at least 73 if I remember correctly. They only way to know...

The sad reality is that even if Pontiac did come back it would wind up being a huge disappointment and insult the beloved performance brand that once was. I could totally see them reviving the tempest/gto and firebird/ TA only to have them be boring fully EV crossovers or SUVs.

Por patch seems like it would be a great solution to small pinholes like that, in fact I was planning on using it on some of the ones around the window channels on my 71 lemans. The problem is it's not available right now its backordered every where I have looked.

An ultrasonic cleaner seems like it would be a good investment for anyone who rebuilds carbs on the regular. And they seem to be relatively affordable for the home DIYer these days. A quick search on that jungle website yields quite a selection in various sizes, and even hobo freight has one...

Unless they changed it back again you don't need pictures or any of that other nonsense anymore. I didn't even need to have specific collector car insurance when I did my cars. Just standard liability insurance.
