Installed the GM CAI -had a bunch of rewards to pay a good chunk of it. Looks nice, but minimal 11 HP gain.

A HP gain is a win.  Not like you spent money on the intake and didn't get any increase at all.

Got my aftermarket fuel filter for my 59. Made a plate and mounted it for installation. I will install the AN fitting's on the truck tomorrow as well as filter.

Drive the Camaro around today, just for random stuff. Restaurant, movie, stores, etc. Had a total of 3 Camaro's from 2014-2019 parked next to me today, way out in the no door ding sections of parking lots.

Did these in the summer but I just saw this thread.  Replaced the steering wheel, added a center console with cup holders and replaced the seats with Corbeau LG1's.  I need to a get a pic of the seats and post them.  Yea, thats in my LS1 swapped 91 Mustang.

Need to wash mine to get the brake dust off. Yesterday drove it around. Going to get the door sills plates replaced soon, the C is starting to become detached, like so many other have seen.

 

Fixed the Nav screen rattle. GM really botched it, NO foam anywhere where the plastic parts meet(my old GMs have had that) and there is a cavity where the bolts for the screen attach, so it's easy for them to get in the wrong spot.

One of my best friends got me a power steering rack for my Cadillac for Christmas, so I have a project now. It will be so nice to have power assist again. The slop in the old rack is absurd. 

 

The nice thing about fixing up a 23 year old luxury boat is that there's a lot of them people are letting go for cheap, so parts are not hard to come by. Days off to go get one in a nicer climate, now those are a rarity.

 

At least with my incentive at work I'll have plenty of dough for travel.

Went to get the new doors sills. They were supposed to call with an update on the second, still waiting, I called today the person that I talked to was shocked I haven't been given an update yetand it can't find my service advisor, or the service order for the parts.

 

I called back after 6 hours because I still haven't heard anything and she confirmed the guy is there, and told me she's going to get this to a manager.  So they've got one great employee there at least.

Picked up a tee fitting to splice the PCV valve line into the brake booster vacuum of the '56. The Air Gap intake doesn't have an available port to use so this will have to do.

What are you running for fuel delivery? Carb, FI? I usually tie into the non-timed carb vacuum port (usually the lowest one on the body).

 

BEAUTIFUL ride!! :thumbs:

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
