Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.
Didn't do this today but recently. Installed a ported exhaust manifold with Will. Courtesy of Lucas.
My oh my did that wake her up. I can't believe how such a small thing can make so much of a difference.
However, as a direct result... I got 16.8 MPG at the pumps today...
At least it was all in good fun.

But...but...but...that's no FUN!!!!!!!
Glad you're enjoying it Carl! Maybe next time we'll have to swap seats so I can see the difference firsthand.
I did something to mine Sunday too. I'm still deciding if I like it or not, I'm almost positive I do. Once I know for sure I'll post pics up.

2 weeks ago , I replaced the plugs with the E-3's(just trying them out) and replaced a injector on #2 cylinder, replaced several rubber vacuum hoses. Last Friday , changed oil. Saturday, changed tranny fluid and filter , flushed radiator and changed coolant, and wipers, filled gas tank .Today replaced battery. I'm through hopefully, aside from cleaning her up.

I don't actually recall Ed ever using that many smilies in one post before...I made him do it I guess.
Oh and I do like what I did, so when I get time to clean it up, I'll post pics. Maybe I'll have received something I've been waiting for by then too.

Now that's funny right there...but why only from this forum? And one of my favorites

These aren't the best pics, just got bored waiting for work to start, Eventually I'll get better ones, but this is what I did last Sunday.

Again, sorry for the poor picture quality, they really do look better in person, and they grow on you as you look at them. It took me a day or so to decide I like them.

It would be cool if you found some 40th badges and over-laid them with the L67 sticker. The depth is really what makes those badges. Looks good this way though too.

To be followed in 5-6 months with a self-centered whine when I need a new clutch!
