What Did You Do To Your G-Body Today? [2023]

Regal (with Olds 350 engine) - Valve cover gaskets were/are leaking oil. I bought a stud kit, changed the gaskets and the bolts and ....I made a bigger mess than when I started. I don't think the gaskets were the perfect fit to start with and I'm getting really close to using some type of silicone gasket/RTV. Also installed a new Summit carb that worked wonderfully. The throttle linkage needed some adjustment, but otherwise it was fine.

Monte Carlo (Chevy 383) - exhaust manifold gasket blew. It took me 30 minutes to get the passenger rear header bolt out. I walked away from it and came back with a smaller ratchet that seemed to work well. Unfortunately, putting them back on was just as bad. I got it done though and drove the crap out of the car for the remainder of the day to celebrate.

Got the call yesterday that ProLine is saying there is no problem with the converter, so I dropped the transmission off to them today for them to go through. They said they are going to call when they find something......
