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

[MrSony]

Hooked brakelines up. Prop valve leaked. Screamed a little. Tightened lines a few times, seems to have fixed itself. Still gotta install the rear brake lines, but the lines I made a few years ago aren't playing nice, so they're soaking in PB over night.

Also ran the headlight harness, installed a new transmission mount and undercoated the top of the gas tank. The can says dont use under 70*f, and I'll be damned if that's not the case. 5 hours after spraying, still as wet as it was when sprayed. I let it sit in the garage over night, hopefully it cures by then. Probably not. :/

PS: anyone have a pic or know how that damn clip for the washer pump installs?

Undercoating takes months to "dry"/cure. It then starts to fall off.

I went back and looked but the photos I took when I replaced mine a while back dont show the clip installed. The L-shaped clip has a side with a piece sticking up. Slide the clip in from the side inside of the opening and it'll snap in place. The piece of the clip sticking up will press against the little window you pushed it in to and secure the pump to the assembly. I know thats clear as mud. When I looked at it on the bench I didnt think itd work but when applying that, it snapped in just fine.

GP, check response #2388 in this thread. In the middle photo, there is a pin or set screw at the end of the lower piece of the steering shaft.

Are talking about this screw here? If so it should only stop the shaft from over extending and coming apart, it should not stop it from collapsing.

Does a renewed aspiration to finish putting the carb back together and do a 1 wheeled 2nd gear burnout count as progress?

Installed the rear brake lines. All brake lines are 100% new now. Took some bending and tweaking but they fit good enough. Tank is in. Should be on the ground running this weekend. It was 70*f today. Freakin me out. Last year christmas was 65*. And a hurricane this year.

iowa's ****in weird man.

Splashed some 91 in the tank to dilute the e85 for winter and took the 2+2 for a jaunt to the hardware store and on a couple errands. 74 degrees today in November, can't let the car sit!

Had a guy in the parking lot at Menards ask if it was a firebird and I had to explain how it's a Grand Prix and done for nascar. I think he still thought it was a 3rd gen at the end haha.

Started wiring up for electric fans. Mounted the relay bracket to the empty space in front of the core support. I’ll need to check good clearance and adjust accordingly. Also wired up part of the harness, still waiting on more split loom and some adaptors and temp sensor to trigger the relay. Otherwise most is in place.
