While checking out the wire looms, I was surprised to find an "extra" non-crimped single ear hose clamp on the A.I.R. hose going from the switching valve to the check valve to the cat converter on the passenger side of the engine. Both clamps on either end of the hose are still there and tight...

Piddling around under the hood of the 85 yesterday, I ran across the wire loom that was getting a bit stiff in areas and in fact, brittle and cracking. Obviously mostly due to age, but also some heat over the years. Question for the electrical gurus: I'm assuming the gray stripe on the loom...

Since I just rebuilt my carbon canister, today's Part of the Moment, or POM, is going to be the Canister Control Valve. On 307s, this valve was located on the front passenger side of the engine. Buried in there right in front of the carburetor corner. There's no bracket holding it down, as it...

NOT mine. But these are getting hard to find in decent shape. If you've been looking for a good one, this might fit the bill. Here's an entire air cleaner setup for an 86 442, code "OG". has the "bead" on the lid which would be correct for an early 1986 442 as later in the year they went to...

Ok, I've decided to take my old canister out of the 85 442 and redo it. Not because it was bad, per se, but because if I screw it up, I got new ones stashed away so I've got a back-up plan. And since others have actually done this, it's something I've never done so it's on my "bucket" list of...

I mentioned in the Mac-Ink t-shirt post that my old t-shirt was getting long in the tooth. Then I realized that ~I~ was getting long in the tooth as well. With another birthday coming up, I realized that the number of birthdays I have left are becoming less and less. I used to not care about...

It's an auction, but has several sets of these. Pre-painted silver for 84 use, but if you paint them black, they'll fit 83 also. No dog in the hunt, If you need them for your H/O car or are doing an H/O hood scoop install on another car, you probably could use these. You'll still need to have...

At least new to me. I didn't even realize they made them. Not a horrible repro from 10 feet away, but I got a feeling it doesn't weigh as much as the real deal. Could be wrong. First blush it doesn't look bad, but I'm sure if I took the time to research it, I could find plenty of...

$99.99 plus any tax and shipping. I understand these are hard to find new almost anywhere. Not quite as hard to find as the 80, but still. They don't grow on trees. No dog in the hunt, just passin' it along. Do your due diligence...

One of my favorite T-shirt's getting a bit long in the tooth and I was wondering if there was any chance getting it replaced. 2007 was a long time ago, I know. Figured I'd give it a shot if anyone remembers the guy's name and whether or not he's still doing stuff like this. Can't read the...

No dog in the hunt. $106 plus any taxes. Great price for a nearly unobtanium GM part if it's in nice condition. Repros look "ok" but this is another place where nothing is as good as genuine GM parts. Super hard to tell condition as far as any flaws inside an aged baggie, but I've vetted this...

Not mine. Caveat emptor. 125 or best offer for the pair. Free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/386511609303?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335822911&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 Also another set for 128 or best offer. Free shipping...

Unobtanium parts are getting out of hand. For a mere $1300 total... 86-88 Cutlass Salon/Supreme/Sup. Classic. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335153987584?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335822911&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 The mate to go with it with TH200-4R. Weird how the...

Wheaties got a contender? Might counter-act the McRib effect...who knows? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FJGTV7R/?tag=gbody-20

Original GM gaskets. For most Oldsmobile applications. Corvette uses them too, but they take 2 gaskets as it has an extension pipe to the valve. NOS is the dark brown in upper left corner, the green is my "prototype" and the rest are the repro gaskets. One's flipped over so you can see that...

At least I can't find any evidence of them repro-ing it. It's a little different than the earlier A-body versions. The slice is in a different spot, as well as the size. Seen them on ebay for almost 20 bucks plus tax...EACH! No friggin' way. I think I can make a repro that works. Trunk lock...

https://www.jtschryslerdodgejeepram.com/vehicles/2023-dodge-challenger-r-t-scat-pack-widebody-330039-2c3cdzfj4ph525899 I ALMOST pulled the trigger. Didn't even consider it really except that I bought some Microsoft stock around Thanksgiving and Meta stock right after Christmas and made a...

Piddling around a little with my plotter/cutter, along with some locks, I have made some prototypes for loor lock gaskets and A.I.R. gasket that goes on the back of the A.I.R. pump. Interestingly, you can't find these pump gaskets ANYWHERE. Very hard to find. I was going to just order one for my...

You know the drill. Old locks worn out, previous owner, or even yourself, had to buy a new driver door lock for your 78-88 A/G-body and now you have 2 or more trunk/door/glove box keys and one igntion key. Or maybe you got the original set(s) of keys for your car, but they're worn slap out...

Everyone loves a key that works. It's when the original key gets to be 40+ years old it really starts to suck trying to unlock the car or start it because everything is wore slap out. To preface this, I'm not going to go through a grunch of GM part numbers. Why? They're like fasteners. GM...
