I think next project is some Holley fuel rails and moving some stuff around to clean that up. I think it'll be fine there (has been for 6+ months) but I do think it could be better

Just thinking safety but then again I've been told I have "anticipatory preventative expenditure".

Mind you, that's where the factory runs the stock fuel line, with its cheesy little snap together plastic insert connectors...

I don't know a car that doesnt' run all sorts of fuel stuff over the headers. Almost impossible not to. Factory does, my ford does it, jeep does it.

This is true. I guess they all operate under the burn it down and buy a new one, mantra?

I'm currently researching guibos, by the way, since you put me on to that now, dang it.
I seriously thought that was some kind of South Park trash talk that I wasn't clued in on.

Like I said already, you need help, my friend. Laying off the South Park would probably be a start on the road to recovery.

Finished it up tonight. Swapped idler out for a nice new Canadian made piece. Much better fit. Drove it, all seems fine. Need to change the oil before I drive it anymore but I’ll do that tomorrow and probably drive it to work Friday to get some miles back on it

Also added a bottle of water wetter, not that I really needed it but why not, I guess

Get notified of new replies

Lol. Those darn canuks again. Seeing those labels written in both English and French reminds me of a scene one of my favourite movies, "Canadian Bacon", where John Candy gets pulled over in Canada by a Canuck cop played by Dan Ackroyd, who insists that the profane anti-Canadian graffiti that's written on the side on candy truck has to also be written in French, according to Canadian law.
