Swear to God, I was at Advance several years ago waiting to get some parts and I overhear this guy trying to get plugs and wires for his Grand Am GT.


Conversation goes like this

Advance employee: "Thats got the V6 right?"
Dumbass owner : "No its a 3 cylinder."
AE: "Sir, there are no 3 cylinder Grand Ams."
DO: "Well thats all that is has. There are 3 plug wires"
AE: "Sir, there are 3 more on the backside of the engine"
DO: "Well, I don't think you know what you are talking about. Can I see your supervisor?"

Everyone was just looking at the guy at this point and I stepped over and explained to him how he was incorrect and the guy trying to help him was right.

This is the almost finished product - still need spark plug wire clamps(better than stock).

Oh ya - still have to do an oil change

Heavyd I use zipties as wire holders put one loosely around 3 wires then 3 around the loose ziptie inbetween the wires then pull tight.

I also got my tires on my bike tonight and took it for a spin. It feels better but i was kinda afraid to really rip on it.

Started on replacing coolant elbows. Lost bolt. Sadtimes. Now I'm just waiting on aluminum elbows which should be here tomorrow.

Bought a rivet gun and rivets for 11 bucks and then installed the New (Used) deck lid I picked up for 50 bucks like a month ago.

The fitment is perfect on one side, but the drivers side is high in one spot and I can't seem to get it perfect, but whatever I guess.

Stick your left hand down and it's laying on the subframe or right near the mount. Yeah..first time.

I took the truck out to get my buddies splitter. Er uh.. pedal sunk to the floor. Limped home slowly and found the left rear line had blow. Not bad considering I've had the rubber lines for two and a half years. Also ..Finally took the walmart vice grips off that rubber hose. LOL Yeah it's like that.

how did you polish that?

I have one nut left over after replacing LIM, not sure where it goes but a 15mm socket fits on it.

only one extra = good

Since you have a 3.1...likely it's an alt bracket etc. IIRC there's one or two that you find when you try to take it apart...but are out of sight when you put it together.

My buddy let his coolant leak go on for way too long. Lost all coolant and engine started to smoke. I hope we can save the engine.

Ok the nut went on the TB where the bracket for the water pipe.
