@@jaadunajs6110 okay, I'll keep an eye on it then.

Thanks for the information. Never did rebuild the old one. The replacement is still working fine.

Not on the A-Body cars. They won't physically fit the other way. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate the tip! Thanks for watching.

I'm glad my video helped. Yes, those training wheels should really be one of the first things to put on so you aren't fighting it the whole time. :) Thanks for watching!

Actually I've seen tests where these flow about 90% of most aftermarket headers. Problem on Pontiacs is clearance, so there are major modifications required to use headers. Engine is plenty powerful and dangerous for my taste. I'm still using cast iron heads. They were ported and polished but an old pro I found, but still are a bit limited on flow since Max lift was around .500. It was what I could afford at the time and the combination seems to be working good for me. Aluminum Pontiac heads are ridiculously expensive. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

You have proof that it drives too!

@@DoItMyselfGarage hahaha 😆

Which car was yours?

If I remember correctly, when you use the app you can set the time. Unfortunately my camera was stolen not long after I installed it, so I honestly don't recall exactly how to set the time.

Appreciate that information. Some "repro" items are decent and others can be questionable. My cap cleaned up decently, so it's good enough for now. The spokes were actually better than I expected, so that helps brighten up the whole thing. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, it had me stumped for a bit.

Sorry, on the videos that I'm not sure if it's going to work I sometimes leave things out. Main thing is that I was able to do a temporary repair with epoxy. Each repair will be different.

Thanks! It turned out better than I had hoped for. I'm curious how it will hold up, but so far I am very pleased with how it looks. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate the clarification on terminology. Since this doesn't have solid lifters, then yes you are correct that this is just setting the pre-load.

I unscrewed one of the jet nozzles and replaced it with an adapter for the hose. There is still one on the other side, so it doesn't cause any pressure issues.

@@DoItMyselfGarage do you mind telling me what adapter I need to get? There are so many. Thank you

@@sujataamin7563 Every pool is different. Unscrew the jet and bring it to a hardware store and they should be able to help you. The end that screws into the slide is just a garden hose fitting.

Thanks for watching!

Since the majority of the chrome on the bumper was peeling off, I scuffed it down with some 150 grit sandpaper and hit it with some undercoating/bedliner. It has come off a little bit in a few places where I've rubbed it while getting stuff in/out of the trunk, but has stay on pretty good. If they start making better repops, then I might consider replacing it.

You are correct that I didn't have to remove the entire axle. I already had the axle out because I was replacing the center section, getting new axle bearings and replaced all four control arms. It was very filthy, so it gave me a chance to clean it up nice and inspect everything. It is still working great and I love the positive control from the coil-overs. No wheel hop when doing burnouts!

@@DoItMyselfGarage call then it wasn't a waste of time, it looks pretty clean going back in

Thanks for the kind words. I will set up that interview soon!

Thanks, that Calyx does a great job of making them look great. I would highly suggest trying to find an aftermarket set of the Ram Air headers. They fit perfect, flow great and would solve your manifold issue. I don't know of any way to repair those. Most people replace them, so maybe someone has a good set laying around. I sold one of mine, so only have one left. Guy bought it for the date code for a restoration.

@@DoItMyselfGarage Pontiac round port exhaust manifolds are extremely overpriced, these days. At least good ones are. Cast iron can be welded, (with a nickel rod) by an experienced "cast iron" welder, and the right procedures. I know of one guy, (licensed) who is older, and lives outta state. I might try him. If nothing more, these manifolds will be good for picture taking on round port heads, like my 71 455 HO heads. And thanks for the reply.

Thanks for watching!

The charging port is just under the front edge of the seat. It isn't very obvious. There is a small hole for the charger. The charger light on the wall plug takes about 15-30 seconds before it changes color once it's plugged in Red or orange shows it's charging and green shows it's done. It will take several hours to charge. Up to 8 if you drain it completely

Thanks for watching!

Not familiar with those engines unfortunately. On old engines you can turn the distributor before locking it down to adjust the timing. Sometimes you would have to move it over one tooth so you didn't run out of travel, but that varies depending on engine, car, etc. Some timing gears allow for an 2-4 degree offset to begin with, so the cam timing is slightly different than the crankshaft. Maybe that is what you are referring to?

Wow, didn't notice now until you mentioned it. I honestly usually just loosen them, but must have been gabbing away at the camera. Yeah, that wasn't smart! I always use jack stands, but definitely did that in the wrong order. Thanks for watching!

Yes, you may use this clip.

@@DoItMyselfGarage Thank you buddy, for the permission.

Missed seeing you there Peter. See you at the next one!

@DoItMyselfGarage my car is in the shop I'm having a fuel issue with my car

@@peterstang-walz2778 Sorry to hear that. If there is anything I could help with, let me know. I'm not an expert, but I've cobbled my way around alternative fixes plenty of times.

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!

Glad that helped. Congratulations on getting it done! Thanks for watching.

Yes, mine was leaking. You could smell antifreeze when parked indoors and the level kept going down. When there is a leak it often times won't draw down the reservoir, but will be low. If you pull that front plastic cover off then you can check the actual radiator level. Could be a bad radiator cap also. Don't check while hot or you could have a mess and get burned.

Also, these vehicles run around 190-200, not 180 or lower like many others. Wouldn't be surprised if you got a bad thermostat. Parts these days aren't the best. If it isn't boiling over and just showing hot on the gage, then it could be a bad sensor also. Laser heat probes are nice for checking actual temps. They are super cheap at Harbor Freight and can help with diagnosing things like this.

@@DoItMyselfGarage Thank you!

If you are looking to use or share the video you are more than welcome.

@@DoItMyselfGarage Oh no, I simply wanted to make a witty comment, every single comments were some channel asking permission to use it. 🤣

@@LilGamingYes Yeah, that is pretty much par for the course on dashcam videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes, you may use my video. This happened on eastbound interstate 94 near Albertville MN. I was on my way to work and I must have been in this person's blind spot and they didn't see me.

@@DoItMyselfGarage Thank you

I've always used Prestone in all of my vehicles. This is a GREEN colored antifreeze concentrate that I mix 50/50 with water. I know some of the new cars have other recommendations, but I've never had an issue. I would say that you want to avoid mixing the types as that may cause issues with them interacting with each other.

Absolutely!

@@DoItMyselfGarage thanks

They slide in at a bit of an angle if I recall. Everything has to line up just right. If it's an older kit it's entirely possible that some of the "wood" might be slightly warped. Keep working at it, I'm sure you'll figure it out. I don't have ours anymore, it went to my other daughters place or I would offer to take some photos for you.

@@DoItMyselfGarage thank you!

Thanks for watching! My neighbor was worried that he'd broken the transmission, but fortunately it was just the belt.

Glad I got this running. More room in the shed!

Either way, I'm really lucky because nothing was damaged. I've put on over 20k miles since without any issues.

@@DoItMyselfGarage now you're right about that. That is most definitely an interference engine. My daughter has an 06 Eclipse with the same engine in it. Her timing belt broke at about 45mph and it bent six of the eight intake valves. Bent the shit out of them. They looked like the pistons had been playing whack-a-mole with the valves. My advice to you is get the delete kit for the balance shafts and get those fuckers out of there. They cause more problems than their worth. Her front shaft wore out which caused an oil pressure drop that caused the rear shaft to lock up and that's what broke the belt. We deleted them so that don't happen again and it has no more vibration than before. Those shafts are pointless. The delete kit is about 80 bucks on ebay and it takes about a day to install. It's worth it.
