Your carb is working good, Eric!

Can't beat that video for &quot;Word of Mouth&quot; advertising! Or more accurately, &quot;Noise of Tire&quot; advertising? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Here are some better photos of the actual installed system. It was put on by the guys at Pypes. Their location is relatively close to me. They do great work!

Got a present for Gramma's car. NORWOOD, a member here and over at PY reproduces several Firebird-only parts. One of them is the set of correct steel grills for the 1970 to 1975 Ram Air hoods. Just got them today and installed them. I even had some of the correct shouldered hex screws in my box-o-bolts, for the installation



The grill actually slides into place from underneath into preexisting slots in the hood. Two screws are then fastened into two molded-in bosses. They hold the grills in place from the bottom.




A face only a Grandson could love. (The 74-75 cars seems to be the least adored noses of the entire 1970 to 1981 line)

I wouldn't kick it out of my garage for dripping oil. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

The fun thing about the 70-81 Firebirds is that you could bolt on a 70-73 nose/grill on any 1974-81 Bird with little effort.

But as I have opined on prior occasions, that would be like giving Betty White a boob job...she may wind up lookin' better but it just wouldn't be right! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Since it was a record 70 degrees here today, after working on the cars and cleaning the garage, I decided to get a photo of our two
