    Thanks. I think I’ll leave them as is after looking at it for a day. Hey, it’s a great match for the seatbelts! lol

    Intake manifold to head port mismatch

    Never overheated, but did have vapor lock issues which I addressed.

    Intake manifold to head port mismatch

    Exactly! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, lol. But I was wondering if there was any long term detrimental effects. A reduction in performance is something I can live with.

    Intake manifold to head port mismatch

    I pulled the valve covers on the 454 and recorded the casting numbers on the heads. As I posted elsewhere recently, the engine is a 1971 LS5 365 hp originally in a Chevelle. The vintage Weiand intake manifold (PN WCPSQ) is for the large, rectangular port heads. My heads are oval port (casting...

    Dyed my new rear seat armrests and installed them. Not sure if I like the color; may re-dye them to more closely match the upholstery.

    Before you focus on reproducing the grill moldings, make the embossed trim for the door panels! Pwetty pwease? ;)

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Great example of why this is the best forum on the internet! Took a careful look at my old grill and popped the bright molding pieces off. Cleaned them up and popped them on the new grill! As my dad would have said “I’ll be dipped in s#*t and rolled in breadcrumbs! Just like that this job...

    I’ll definitely check into this! Never occurred to me that they may be removable.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the grille, BowTie and 454 emblems. Grill was broken in a couple of places. New grille fit fine but was a bit disappointed that the three horizontal bars were simply argent versus chromed. Still it looks better than the broken one.

    Blazer rear seat arm rests

    So I went ahead and ordered a pair of rear seat arm rests for 69-72 Blazers and they seem to be perfect matches for my 75, unless my 75 rear seat has been replaced with an earlier version which I doubt.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Wired an indicator light into the electric fan circuit to show me when the radiator fans were energized. Ended up making a mounting bracket out of a left over piece of aluminum angle and painting to match. The light appears much brighter in the photo than it really is. Did something similar...

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Just Dashes took a while to get back to me. They said 5 months turnaround after they receive my dash. They don’t use the correct color vinyl so it’s painted like every other dash pad out there it seems. So 5 months with no dash all for the low price of only $2300. Don’t think so! I’m on the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yes it was me. I removed all the under dash components and eliminated the “T” and steel brake line that ran from the master cylinder to the under dash unit. But the brake controller was just too cool once cleaned up so I put that back in.:D

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    My mom was my main supplier of California Raisins back when they were given out by Wendy’s or Hardee’s or whatever chain had them. Going through her stuff following her passing I found a bag full of them which I added to my collection. Also have a bunch of M2 and other model cars, but I know...

    Enjoyed a little off roading today with the wife. Was horrified to discover DIRT in my tires afterwards! Gotta get that cleaned up! :gr_grin:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Wife took pity on me today and gave me an early Christmas gift, a boroscope so I could find those ridiculously hard to see stamping and casting numbers on my engine. Had tried several times but eventually admitted defeat. Tool worked great! From todays searching here is what I have found...

    Oil Pressure Drops After High RPM

    @JamesSam I never found it in local stores. Not sure why. But you can order it off their website as I mentioned.

    Oil Pressure Drops After High RPM

    @ChuckN I used to buy my Amsoil from a friend, but later just went to their website and enrolled. Now I can order from them and they FedX it here. Usually get it the next day or maybe day after. I run Amsoil in everything; cars, tractors, antique Simplity’s.

    Oil Pressure Drops After High RPM

    Great chart! The Speedway Motors website also discusses the Amsoil products but don’t see them on the chart. The Z-Rod line is specifically designed for older flat tappet engines:
