It was just your basic earl's braided line. Not a specific kit. Just order up a specific length of line in the size you need, i can't remember what mine was, and then the necessary earl's fittings to connect it all.sigpic

The bolt/easyout problem was resolve. the hole on the rad cover plate was big enough so I was able to drill next to easyout and tap new threads.Originally posted by sman View PostBrian that radiator piece is gunna look awesome!

The Throttle body plate I got on e bay search camaro parts he has a lot of different choices. ran about 16-18 buck with shipping. I bid it out so was cheaper than buy it now price.
No that is stock a/c line I just polished it, along with dryer bottle.Last edited by 98blackbeauty; March 31st, 2009, 09:57 PM.sigpic

Yeah, I'm pretty geeked about all the shine my engine bay should have when it gets closer to being truly finished. I still haven't bought all the shiny parts that I want.Originally posted by MP81 View PostYeah - under that white wrap it's very shiny! From what I could see, it looked awesome.
Along with all the other shiny stainless parts in the engine bay!
Dad polished it up but it's the stock v6/LT1 AC line. It's honestly amazing how much the stock stuff can shine if you just put a little elbow grease and a drill press with appropriate attachments to work.Originally posted by sman View PostBrian that radiator piece is gunna look awesome!

I ordered replacement connectors so thank god it won't stay like that. It really annoyed me - for all the money I spent on this car I'm not going to have the PCM held together with zip ties
The bolt / easyout is the right-most bolt in the picture that goes into the radiator shroud. My dad (as posted above) was able to fix it - I waited on taking pictures until today so no pics of when it was messed up.
OK, I guess I'm really a newb to this so don't laugh too hard... what is Earl's website and how are his prices?Originally posted by Superman09 View PostIt was just your basic earl's braided line.

Oh, and more good news - I had offered a guy on ebay $20 + S&H if he would end his e-bay auction 1.5 days early. He never responded to my offer and the ebay auction just ended. I won the auction for ~11 + S&H so he screwed himself out of $9 extra bucks for not responding.

It'll be one of those "OOOH Shiney" reactions!Originally posted by meissen View PostYeah, I'm pretty geeked about all the shine my engine bay should have when it gets closer to being truly finished. I still haven't bought all the shiny parts that I want.
I bet the zip ties are stronger.Originally posted by meissen View PostI ordered replacement connectors so thank god it won't stay like that. It really annoyed me - for all the money I spent on this car I'm not going to have the PCM held together with zip ties
Glad to hear you got that thing out!!!Originally posted by meissen View PostThe bolt / easyout is the right-most bolt in the picture that goes into the radiator shroud. My dad (as posted above) was able to fix it - I waited on taking pictures until today so no pics of when it was messed up.

Alright, now I'm more confused. So what is this Earl's stuff? Is "Earl" the brand name? And is it only available on Holley's website?- Brian Meissen
