What did you buy for your G body today? [2019]

[pontiacgp]

Bought a Progression Ignition distributor. Dropped it in and started tuning. Super easy setup and my motor is ripping it up now!

how is that distributor working?....

Brake lines showed up! I found them for $55 plus $6 shipping from RVAutoparts.com. They jumped up to $70 on Amazon. Ordered Friday, they showed up today!

Went on a nature walk to the Pull-a-Part today and found an F-body cooling fan for the Bonneville. Had I known that the F-Body fans fit under the radiator top plate with no other fasteners needed, I would have ditched my Cloud car fans a long time ago.

Still won't be able to drive it until after the new fan controller comes in, but it looks 10x better than the old one.

You work for Firestone! You don't get discounts?

Firestone (afaik) doesnt make a 15" "normal" passenger car tire anymore, certainly not a 235/60/15, you have to take the car to a firestone tire store, prove its yours, show your work id badge, have a bunch of idiots touch said car, nah. I'll pass. Discount isnt bad, I think it's like 15% normally then I think either 40 or 50% for a select grouping od brands/models of tire each quarter. But, if you have a classic car, you're SOL unless you change wheels just to take advantage of a discount, plus do all the other sh*t. PLUS: The 1 time I did, they wouldn't let me use my discount because the only tires they carried that fit my car (I chose 205/75/14 hancook optimo white walls, 26" tall, for my steelies) weren't firestone, didn't put them white wall out like I told them too, even though I had the lady write a note to the guy, didn't remove old wheel weights just put new ones on, and said I had to pay for a rebalance if I wanted it fixed, and recently (different store) told my dad they wouldn't do an alignment on his Nissan unless he bought new struts, which we just ****in replaced last summer, and charged him over $100 to top off his refrigerant.

*heavy breathing*

you get worked up too quick, a simple reply would have worked....Firestone kinda gives an employee 15% discount but they don't make 15" tires any longer...

Bought some cleaner so hopefully I can get some of the greasy hand prints and other imperfections off the dip

in short:

discount good

I can't/refuse to use it for various reasons.

This little test bottle showed up today. Seems my E85 score from the weekend is really E85.

Double Score!

I took off the drag radials and put on the street tires. For some reason the white letters on these newer BF Goodrich radials always look dirty. The previous set what nice and white. Anyone else with the same experience?

Same with my Cooper Cobras. Always cleaning the RWLs. They don’t look as bright white as my tires did years ago.

Love it. I want to add a couple degrees to the max timing but I have been working on painting the front end and I'm waiting to get the car put back together. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their carburetor.
