Finished putting in the trunk patch, now just have to paint the trunk








After that I popped out the old distributor and installed the DUI one


Was surprised to see the rotor screws are plastic???

Also the DUI style coil cover does not fit with some brand wires

I will say It did wake the car up.

Definitely notice a difference.

Next will be to change the carb after a make choke and egr block off plates

I repainted Bernadette's (1987 buick regal limited)rims and she looks great now ! Been making a list off what needs to be done and checking off the things that have been done. I was checking the doors and notice the inner and outer
window felts need to be changed, I was looking on how to remove the outer window felt but it looks as if
it's attached to the bottom wide molding 2pc that runs along the top of the door. I've been looking online for the set
inner and outer both sides, but I see there's 2 styles. Any input would be helpful on which ones I should buy and
how should I go about doing this? I have all new door weather striping as well and figured if I'm dooring the weather striping I'll change the window felt too.
Thanks, Rob

I had a busy day so all I did was redo some wiring and changed a relay to get my DRL's working again......I have tried toget a discount from my insurance company since with DRL you car is more visible and safer but they won't apply any....

Got my electric fans installed in the Bonneville today. Also took about 100 mile road trip into the city with the wife for some killer BBQ. The car did well and the BBQ did not disappoint.

Replaced the proportioning valve and swapped the rear wheel cylinders with the S-10 replacements and the bolt-on brackets. Picking up resurfaced rotors tomorrow and will get the front all back together with new pads and calipers.

I ended up putting in a set of Dodge Cirrus fans in (cloud car fans). I had picked up a set of Intrepid fans from the U-Pull yard just for the purpose but found that the bearings were gone. I may get another set of Intrepid fans later, as they are a lot easier to wire in for slow speed but these are fine for now.

New/Reman A/C compressor, drier, orifice tube, blower motor, and a shorter serpentine belt. The tensioner was tight up against the alternator before.
