What have you done to your square lately??

What's a catch can? Never had to have one on my 2000 Camaro SS. It never used oil like that and had 112,000 miles on the motor.

I have it hooked up with a catch can. I either have the 2nd or 3rd version of the valve covers. I'm going to get a better catch can, this one is one of the $25 models lol.

Might try just venting the can and plugging the suction line from the intake. That's what I did on my truck after finding the extreme amount of oil I was going through.

It's a can that goes in between the PCV valve and the intake to catch oil vapors and spray. Some engines need them more than others, but they're never a bad idea.

This is $34 worth of bolts. Place was pretty proud of them I guess. 1 is a 5/16 and the other 2 are 8mm. Hard (and pricey) part is finding them this long, with a button head and in grade 8.

Here they are in action. They were needed to replace the stock bolts as the heads were too close to the serpentine belt. Works pretty good now.

Rain has been off and on. Storm yesterday afternoon and then it cleared up for what looks to be several days ahead. I have just been enjoying ridin around in it. Friday Ride-Day all day baby!

I looked at my truck as I was in and out of the garage grabbing tools to work other projects. Seems like the hours disappear and I get tied up with other stuff constantly

Took it to a local Cruise In this evening. Beautiful evening and great turnout. One guy came back looking at my truck several times before asking if it was original paint. I told him it was except for the hood. He said something like “Hard to beat being garaged!”

Discovered the water ingress point in the cab.

And definitely this

Which is a little harder to see. The rust, not the tweaker wiring.

The alternator in the 76 decided to not want to charge, swapped it for a 10si I had on the shelf from the junkyard. When I get time I'll look into the 12si I pulled off it and see what decided to call it quits.

Changed the oil too, decided to try VR1 20-50 since it has the zinc needed in it.

How’s the 20-50 workin?
I have a few gallons of it leftover and was thinkin about using it up on my old vehicles. It’s a little thick for my taste usually run 15-40 in most everything. But I was plowing through this super cheap 20-50 in a vehicle that leaked and burned oil but never used it up

I'm planning on changing the plugs in the 82 today but, rain has delayed me for now. Hopefully I can do it here in a few if it dries up a bit.

 

[82sbshortbed]

Also dumped 4.5 gallons of used oil at oriely and got some new gear oil for the 84's diff. Rain rain go away and come back some other day. Lol

Found my miss problem when changing plugs. 8 cylinder plug boot burned through and was arching to the header. Replaced it with an old wire. Guess I'm gonna get some fireproof boots for it again and put one on #8.

New msd wires too. Sucks they are expensive.
