Nope.......just wrapped the empty plugs in plastic to prevent water getting in. I also bought gutter leaf guard at the big box store, (it's steel dipped in plastic, still looks good after years) to dress the empty holes. ( Cut to shape, and Installed from behind the facia with JB Weld. )

Yeah with that stillen manifold in the way I know it's not a simple task to do but I think it might be worth trying just to see. I don't know what else would result in such a consistent loss of power...

I talked to Seb about maybe doing a compression test and he will if I want but he and the shop that built my car both said the motor is acting healthy. There's nothing to indicate that the motor is...

Thanks brolo. I've driven this skank over 4k miles since all this started. Failed 2 tests. After you fail the third you have to make an appt. And I can't re-register the Z until I pass. So I'm...

1966 or 16 years after the powerglide was released :stirthepot: :roflpuke2:

And tonight’s featured special “Gunpoint” :tup:

That's a big thumbs up from me. We spent the day hiking Gertrudes Nose near Rochester, and drove from there to Ithaca. Tomorrow, Robert H Treman park, Watkins Glen, and possibly Toughahannock falls...

JL would be proud of me. We took a hike around my son's property. On one side is the South Fork of the North Platte River. Great fly fishing. :tup: Seen a lot of deer and elk tracks. Seen one set of...

Got hungry & baked a pizza :yum:
