What did you buy for your G body today? [2023]

[pagrunt]

Bought for JR.'s Monte a UMI rear upper shock brace from their Black Friday sale. Now I can take his car down that rabbit hole too.

I picked up a few necessary items, nothing fancy. I did spring for a Pertronix cap/rotor kit, Delco plugs, and reusable Fel Pro valve cover gaskets though.
Turns out I still need about another 12 feet of vacuum hose...

Oil pressure gauge to match the Bosch temp gauge I've had sitting around which will replace my no name gauges.

Pulled the trigger on the Edlebrock setup since it was cheaper on their site than we can get it at our pricing for the shop

And more for Jr.'s Monte, the Super Brights LED's that mclellan83 suggested. Will be getting the front amber 11157's & back up 1156's but will be waiting on the back ordered tail light red 1157's. Then I hit the yard again on a quick trip for more wire sections for more harness repairs bewteen both Montes.

do you kids do the relay upgrade when you do this? it draws power straight from the batt vs the round about way via fuse box? it's worthy even w/running the o.e incandescent bulbs.

I've only seen the relay upgrade being for the headlights & mainly for the up graded/brighter headlights. Only thing I know needed with the other bulbs will be the need for a flasher designed to work with LEDS. There are those wire in resistors that is needed for each bulb used but those have to be careful on where they get mounted cause those generate a lot of heat. For no flash bulbs I've yet to see them draw enough power to need any relay help, just plug & play other than ensuring the polarity in matched positive to positive in the socket.

You have all the wiring stuff you need? I have a whole interior and trunk that I don’t believe I molested. Came out of an ‘80 I believe. You can have for shipping cost. Unless my brother is heading that way.
