i just have to decide on the color of the stripe and what i want on it.
for example Do it match the stripe to the color of the wheel or the color of the other stripes already on the car. i am leaning heavy to the color of the stripes already on the car.

the next thing is What do i want on the stripes? Chevelle in script like this

 

[22lbChevelle]

I would match them to the color of the stripes on the car for sure.

I think the text should refer to the turbo motor if you plan to keep it in there which I surely hope. My preference would be whats on the buicks' hoods

"3.8 SFI Turbo"

Not a bad idea.
ill have to think about it thou. as i don't give out too much info and that would give it all up.

Yea its cool in idea but probably not the best.

I would say what ever it is it just needs to be timeless. Nothing that will look weird in a couple years.

this is the 2nd one that i have had to change in 3 months
So i ditched the hard plastic line and went with a hose from the Vacuum block to the MAP sensor
while i was at it i checked the PCV valve, it leaks like crazy So i now have to replace that too.

anyways i ended up removing and replacing the two back (PCV & MAP) metal vacuum lines with rubber hoses.
BTW its a PIA to get the zip ties on the vacuum block end of the lines.

i am now shopping for a good PCV or a good check valve.:frown:

Is that paint or oil on it David. Looks kinda ugly right now to me.

 

[TURBOPOWERED68]

the black stuff on the outside is paint-it wasn't even cleaned they just painted over the dirt and rust.

 

[charlief1]

Now that's just scary!:biggrin:

 

[22lbChevelle]
