I received the correct adapter and finished the install yesterday. I also installed Pfadt end links. Today is top off fluids, check for leaks, and test drive. If all goes well I should be back on the road...unless I start one of my 100 other projects!

Got the fluids topped off, checked for leaks, and test drove. Then checked again. Lastly drove it to the fireworks and put bugs all over it that I get to clean off so it can go to a small local show tomorrow. Oh, and I got pulled over on my way home for speeding of all things. lol Got a verbal warning, so that was nice.

I ordered a new set of OEM Speedline wheels to replace the chrome ones that came with my car. Also ordered a set of valve springs, seals, and valve cover gaskets. Lastly, I received my license plate in the mail this evening. What a time to be alive!

Installed C6Z06 rear shocks and a new diff/trans mount.

I am going to install the front shocks today along with replacing the engine mounts.

I may also begin removing the heads to do a lifter swap (I have a front driver side lifter that has some lifter tap that I don't like).

How do you do this and where did you buy the relay?

I purchased 6 of the proper relays from here: https://www.digikey.com/product-deta...1240-ND/274764. They are very cheap at $1.68 a piece.

I also purchased a solder sucker from Amazon. This necessary when removing the solder that holds the relay to the circuit board. Some solder flux really helps in making the solder on the circuit board melt and stay molten longer when you heat it.

I then used this video (and some trial and error) to remove the old relay and install the new one:
