White93z34 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yes, I saw that. The issue comes with connecting it into the existing nylon lines. If you want to do it the most proper way and put a inline splice, but the factory lines are too ridgid to do without a special tool to force it in. I have seen one way external connectors though, that could work. I've just never experimented with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 What do you guys think about coupling nylon fuel hose with pneumatic push lock couplers? I'm going to have the same fuel line routing issue on the Lesabre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandprix1 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Can someone recommend valve covers for the swap. I want to get the revised ones so I don't have to worry about them leaking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone recommend valve covers for the swap. I want to get the revised ones so I don't have to worry about them leaking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The valve covers aren't cheap. Just go get L67 ones from the yard. They're not going to leak with new gaskets. What do you guys think about coupling nylon fuel hose with pneumatic push lock couplers?

Grandprix1 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Use valve cover gaskets. That was the plan. Prepping the heads now. Graphite gaskets. These are gonna take a while Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I considered those but never actually followed through with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 And I'm going to move this thread to Powertrain since its far more a Powertrain thread then a For Sale thread. When it comes time to actually buy things, post a specific thread. It will keep the noise down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was supposed to be a parts thread but turned into a more detailed version of the top swap portion of the cars thread in members rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandprix1 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well some bad news... My parents are making me stop the swap and sell the parts or else I have to pay for college myself... Im not happy about this but I don't want to pay for college either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
