What did you buy for your G body today? [2021]

The rectangle one may blend in better where it closes the ports. But that’s just my opinion. Or put it where the ashtray goes.

I don't have an ashtray. I will probably mount it between the console glove box and the switch plate

Round one in the cigarette lighter hole.

I plug my radar detector in there just going to keep that as an accessory port

Is room available on the back of the console? Not easy to plug in when driving though. Or inside the console glove box keeping it close at hand, wire for phone can come out the cover and remain hidden from site. Once the cord is plugged in ,unless in the way, can stay plugged in. Other idea, they make tach mount that to the right of the gauge cluster and would mount it next to your phone holder and not put any holes it the dash or console. Think it was a GN parts site.

Mrs. Clause got this and a few other car items for me for Christmas. The evaporator was the only piece I did not replace when I did my A/C, radiator and electric fans. Well the heater core finally gave way so while I'm in there let's do this once.

You looking for cast manifolds for that? I have one from a 430 and one from a 455. I was about to put up for sale.

I just put a set of headers on her. Thanks for offer though

I picked up my fourth fan clutch in my ongoing attempt to properly place the fan within the 'Olds style' shroud I recently purchased to use in the Malibu. The clutch I picked-up & tested today has things closer than the first three attempts so I'm @ least on a path now. I'm gong to keep digging & see if there's anything more aggressive as I feel I'm still .750-1" away from the fan being properly centered within the shroud opening.

Note the varying depths between each of these as measured between the fan-blade mounting pads & the fan-clutch pedestal base where it seats @ the water pump pulley. The #2797 is a HD unit that was originally recommended. It turns out it was actually a 'Severe Duty' truck unit. With the fan placement definitely off, I tried the #2747 & the #1707, Those showed I was on the right path so I ordered the last one (#2731) to compare.

XS Power D3400 battery and 200 amp alternator in preparation for my sound system install.

If the car makes noises just turn up the radio 😉

See if a diesel truck fan clutch is closer. Is the motor sitting that far back? The 455 I had in my 78’ 442 had a 74’ Delta 88 fan clutch and sat right inside the shroud. Have to see if I have any old pictures of the motor.
