'78 Formula Improvements

[MrMojoRisin681]

I thought I would start a thread so I can just post what I do to my car. As I posted in a diff thread my car stopped working. So it got a new fuel pump, plugs, cap, rotor, and coil. After all that it still didn't work. Problem turned out to be some bad rubber fuel line sections. But it's running good now. After got it running tweaked the timing and the carb alittle so she's running better than before. Some minor stuff that's kind of boring but I'll post anyway cuz I'm bored. Removed "Holley Equipped" stickers b/c there's not a single holley part on my car. Removed 1990 MI State Park sticker b/c I don't think it's good anymore . Replaced my High Beam Indicator bulb, so I don't accidently blind people anymore. Now I'm just working on cleaning up the engine bay alittle, well actually alot. I'll get some pics tomorrow maybe. Kind of embareassed of it yet.

Engine bay?

Oh you mean that monotonous gray dust ball thing under the hood.

You can see some black and GM corporate blue sticking through the dust.

You should just go buy the $4 bottle of simple green, spray EVERYTHING under there and hose that shit down lol.

Yeah or Orange Citrus Brite that stuff rocks its made by Gunk I think.

[meissen]

True that. Sounds like you're doing a good job taking care of the car overall though.

Alittle update on the formula. I installed a pair of Kenwood 6x9's in the rear package tray, and a Profile amp under my center console. Still working on cleaning up the engine bay I would post some pics, but then I won't be able to see all of this thread so I'll hold out on those yet. I will post some pics of a couple things I plan on getting within the next month.

A Summit Air Cleaner Assembley:


A set of Trans-Dapt Wire looms:


Then some stuff that needs to be replaced, like Power Steering return line, front and rear tranny seal, Trim that goes above the doors, some weatherstripping, stuff like that.
