If your asking about the chrome rams horn manifolds I bought them from Jegs a few years ago when they had a sale for $127.00 for the set . the heat shields were a pain to install without the fenders in the way ., the wires for (1-3 ) and (2-4) cylinders run down the side of the engine and come back up thru the engine mount to the spark plugs . :chevy:

Installed a temporary front fender and made some brackets for the front turn signals so I will be able to drive my truck while several parts are off at the body shop. Waiting for a new cam to arrive so I can finish the Vortec head upgrade.

I was going back and forth between the black/white and black/orange houndstooth, but my wife convinced me the orange wouldn't match my truck, so I gotta give her some credit. I think the black/white looks good with the silver on the gauge cluster bezel.

I like the black and white hounds tooth. I have the black vinyl brocade that is just too hot in summer, and it's all split out. I want to replace the cover, but I ain't going back to black if I can help it. I'll show my wife this pic.

I had the black with cloth but at the time couldnt find it reproduced I since have found the correct seat cover but like the hounds tooth . Misses hates the feel of vinyl or even the leather in my Envoy. Specially when shes in shorts which is most of the summer

A picture is worth a thousand words (four letter words, in this case).

Looks like a collapsed oil filter. Did someone say Fram?

Rebuilt the top end of the steering column yesterday. My truck had a broken hazard switch when I bought it and never replaced. Put in new levers, signal/hazard, and indicators. Only issue was a I mangled the end thread with the puller, so I'm currently trying to figure out to best rectify. Still need to correct the indicator position as well.

It's a Mobil1 filter that refused to come off. There was paint on the block and the seal stuck to it. You can see a little red on the seal.. I have since cleaned the paint off. I am also feeling a bit skeptical of the recommended 1-1/4 turns past contact they show on the sticker.

Transmission leaks fixed (shift shaft and Speedo gear) - though I didn't do it myself. Replaced signal mech, hope that nails my short/blowing fuse and after replacing all the screws, inserts, and springs I did a very early morning headlight adjustment a bit ago! Nice to have a morning drive in the truck :-)

Oh and for a nice little topping, noticed my antenna was loose and moved, so I adjusted that when I got home.

1/4 turn seems a little loose, but I agree 1-1/4 is way too tight.
