Originally Posted By: TaterandNoodles I agree its not the best but for the time being its worth keeping until you know what the costs will be for all of the safety issues.

Originally Posted By: OVERK1LL What I do know is that the Edelbrock filter is junk, they like to fall apart, and they can catch fire with a backfire. Garbage all around. Everyone is agreeing that the Edelbrock filter is worthless, so that's something I'm adding to the list.

The 2nd list is smaller items that have no real effect on safety or the function of the car but still need attention.I would put the wipers and at least securing...

Originally Posted By: TaterandNoodles Smog pump gone, ac gone, pcv (right valve cover) is going to atmosphere I'd use a push in breather at least. Rather large fuel line and filter hanging unsupported right over the left valve cover, don't like that. Who's bringing the steaks to this car-bique...

Originally Posted By: TaterandNoodles Hard to tell with the small pic size. Here are some closer views of the engine. I wish some of you guys could actually get under the hood and look it over. We're taking it to a garage next week for an oil and trans fluid change, quotes on the problems we...

Originally Posted By: Johnny I would have no problem with that, but the wife just retired after 36 years of teaching so I'm not sure she wants to wrangle anymore kids. Oh my gosh NOOOO she would NOT want to deal with them. She's been there and done that long enough. 36 years of teaching....I...

Originally Posted By: Johnny My, my, what nice cars. The wife and I are way older than 18, but would have no problem at all being adopted. I concur with everyone on the air filter, change it out. If you two are willing to be my full time Kiddy Wranglers for my daycare kids (so I spend my...

Originally Posted By: addyguy It's nice to have women in this forum. I hope you'll stay around for a bit. Years and years ago, a good friend of the family had an Anniversary 'Vette just like yours. It was blocking our driveway when she was over, and we needed something for dinner. My dad and...

Originally Posted By: TaterandNoodles Cast into the intake is the name of the model if you are worried about it. Looks like a Performer to me, it could be a Performer RPM or even the newer EPS though. Hard to tell with the small pic size. You're right, it's a Performer RPM

Originally Posted By: Superbuick96 Nice ride! Bumble bee from the Transformers? The previous owner is a Transformers fanatic. He had the car painted to look like Bumblebee after the first movie came out. Sad for him that he hit hard times and had to sell it but happy for us.

Hi aquariuscsm, I think the car helps

Originally Posted By: ron917 Wow, beautiful car! Around here, anything from that era that looks that nice is a show car, not a daily driver. Most of them have turned to rust by now (dang road salt). Though not a daily driver, I do plan to take it out often during good weather. I've had it...
