What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

Pulled motor from the blazer last weekend, and today started sanding off the orange in anticipation of its new color. Can not wait to swap out the 6 cyl. for this motor in my regal.

Went and looked at my car, and wished the valves were set so I could drive the thing already.

put a door in the trunk... pretty damn crafty and useful if you ask me. better than having stuff slide all around every time i take a turn...

I have tie downs in the malibu to prevent the quarters from being dented (again) by random objects sliding in the trunk, 8) .
Noticed a little issue the other day, if I was cruising at 45-50mph or so, and cracked if off, the car would break up and backfire around 3500rpm. From a dead stop, smashing the gas to the floor was a smooth ride to 5000rpm. Got to thinking, gotta be something goofy with the distributor. So tonight I decided to have a looksie. Found that one of the advance springs had stretched to point of allowing the weight to flop in the breeze, basically alowing the mechanical advance to do what ever it felt like. So I came up with a new weight spring combo via spare parts from another distributor. Fired it up, and instantly noticed a great improvement on idle quality. I didn't try it out yet, as I had few beers in the process of troubleshooting and fixing, so a test drive was out of the question :lol: . Maybe tomarrow if it's half decent out, lol.
