What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2020]

[Wageslave]

The Bonneville has not been wanting to start when cold, and finally just quit completely. I already swapped out the cap and coil, so I finally grabbed a spare GM HEI distributor that I got at a yard sale and blew it apart and cleaned it. I dropped it in and reset timing and all was well again.

I will say that GM distributor has a much more aggressive timing curve to it than the Chinesium one, and the engine very much liked it. That thing was spinning the tires from a roll like it was on ice.

10/10 - Would burnout again.

Added this Holley fuel tank vent today. Plumbed it from the vent location on the sending unit (used to go to the charcoal canister I believe). Has a check ball to prevent fuel spill in case of a rollover.

Today was the first day I’ve ever been able to fill up without my tank burping at the pump since installing the new fuel tank.

After a fair run at the track last weekend, I figured that the trans is shifting way too early and it was causing my times to be slow. After some research, I realized that the broken tv cable was the main problem. It's a 200 4r , so I didnt even want to mess with it, and make it worse. Some internet research and I felt confident enough to try it. I dropped the pan and found the plunger lever out of whack, way out! I unbolted it, and re set it. installed the cable and the geometry correcting piece on the Edelbrock Carb. adjusted the plunger to .840" and all but flush at WOT. The air shocks werent staying pumped up, so I took a set of coil over type shocks that I had, cut a couple coils out to make them the same length as the air shocks and installed them. #FastTrashRacing will let you know how it runs on Saturday at BSD!

Work days, but I am trying to get done what I can.

Got some paint on from the the other day I thought I would share my progress. Just a couple of coats are going on to it at first alittle 1000 grit sanding. When its cooler IE: at least 70 degrees and no wind I will continue on with the other few more coats I plan for it. And yes I have been using Tack Cloth like crazy! 😅 .


Just an example of the some of the minor issues I am having with both paint and primer. Usually is just issues that start appearing once a coat of paint is going, somethings I don't see as a problem right off the bat. But I am learning.


Second time doing the bondo thing in my life time and this time I am getting it right. So far no holes which means I am mixing and spreading it right. But this is where the real fun part begins . Yep, grinding that stuff flat, smooth and even with the body is what the real challenge is going to be. The Wire wheel I bought for the drill helps allot. but I am going to be grating that stuff soon.

Little bits at time, but since I have had to open the door I had to take off the bag plastic I put on driver side as well as the paper I put onto the Windshield. I will be replacing that again with the plastic I bought. More to come on this adventure.

The new 5409 springs I installed a little while ago looked to be installed correct but the GP wasn't sitting level in the rear. I removed the springs today switch sides and installed new end links on the GTA bar and it looks to be ok now. I don't know what it was but oh well........ On my way to work on the GP I was on the inside lane of a highway that goes through the city enjoying the music and the GP but sure enough some hotshot in his BMW 3 series pulled up beside me and let off on his gas to let his exhaust pop a few times. Why are people so intimated by our cars that are modified....? ...

Installed m12 studs in rear axles a couple of days ago to match Blazer front hubs. Went for a short drive and took a couple photos tonight.

Probably purchased the BMW to get either the ladies, or the attention he craves, but he probably is jealous of good old fashioned classic and muscle car restorations.

Do you know the difference between a horse and a BMW?



The dick is on the outside of the horse!
