blunc Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Great work on this, weathering and fabbing is great to follow. A tip regarding the engine, Olds engines have a hose going from that nipple in the middle of the driver side valve cover to the side of the air cleaner, it scavenges excess crankcase vapors.
bryan_m Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 yep, just havent installed that hose yet... thanks, glad ya like it mike. ill be back at it tomorrow morning, or afternoon......depending on when i get outta bed! LOL cheers bryan
