heres a tip
i just jacked this off of my cardomain page so i wouldn't have to type it all up again

Since i havent seen any other g-body guys do theres like this i decided to do mine because i think it's a great idea and mod to do with your ac plate. Just get yourself some FATMAT sound deadner, roller and thats it, my 3 facts why are below.

#1 keeps heat from trying to enter the car and reduces the amount of road noise you hear inside of the vehicle

#2. These ac delete plates do not come with a gasket and bolting them together on your firewall is metal to metal which is not a good thing. the small gap between the metal will allow water to leak and thats something i want to avoid

#3. It just looks cool

That totally sucks! At least you weren't stranded on the other side of town! Sounds like a stuck float but since you just got your carb rebuilt, they should have no problem fixing it for ya. Hope you get back on the road soon!

warranty for the win.....you'll be back on the road in no time. since it died a couple times recharge your battery while your at it so you can recharge those cells. might as well do it so when your crank the key your battery has full power
