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

Make sure your replacement blinker fluid is non-chlorinated and mineral free or it will corrode the contacts on the bulbs.

Actually this happened yesterday but took a few minutes to revisit the work I did on the Monte's driver's lower door sill where it wraps up into the quarter panel. The original passes on it were with FCAW and I was not happy at the time but it was an outside job and Flux wire was all I had. So out came the Dremel and off came the paint and the panel got some MIG wire love courtesy of my Miller and some solid core. Looks better and will finish out nicer. The side bar was a trip to the welding bench to repair the guard on my 3" cut off wheel. Snapped away from its locator ring at both sides. Dialed the mig down to 22 ga. and tweaked the heat and speed just a bit and, it worked. Guard is back on the motor. Could have gone renegade and run without but happen to like my hands and fingers just as they are and feel no need to use them as a meat brake for a high speed air driven cutting tool!!

Also remember standard blinker fluid for halogen bulbs, synthetic blinker fluid for LED's!

Found that a Holley 4150 has gaskets under the float adjusting screws and that the secondaries need to be open a smidge in order for it to even run an engine.

I also need a center inlet fuel log.

I'll disagree with that. Or, the cam isn't right for the compression....

I will note one advantage the Eddy seems to have: I can run the fuel bowls dry.

Didn’t have the float level high enough

Need to take it back off and bench set it again.

I'm saying it's unnecessary.

No, I understood what you meant, I’ve just got this thing messed up more than I thought. It’s leaking from every place that fuel runs, even the float adjusters. It has to go back to the bench no matter how I cut it, though the new fuel cutoffs/adjusters (I know I’m messing up my terminology) from the Trick Kit won’t screw in to the bowls without severe binding. Nothing is cross threaded, but I couldn’t get them to go in more than a turn before they’d just stick in the holes.
