What did you do to your Car today?

**idrivejunk** · 01-16-2015

This week's adventure was doing the coil pack dance after the GTP began to sputter under load. Also yesterday I drove it hard enough in the curves, to foam the steering fluid. Must get some fresh in there if not flush it like Navyblue did. Brake fluid is equally ancient and useless. But no complaints, helluva car. Somebody came by wanting to buy up my spare L67 for a race car but I was like hell naw dats mine! Planning to swap in a new battery on the large Pontiac this weekend. I realized that we just had our 15th anniversary, and in that time theres only been one new battery. In the department of cool, Classic Trucks did a photo shoot on our 41 Ford project this week while it was in Wichita for the Starbird show. Sweet!

Hey its idriveapontiac!

At least no car flipping was involved

I kid i kid

**idrivejunk** · 01-16-2015

Amen to that! Been able to keep it shiny side up lately, and in between the ditches. I keep a cheese slice in the glovebox now so at least I can crack a joke about flipping cheeseburgers to the cop and tow guy if I make hamburger out of another.

Used the headlight restore kit on my crappy stock headlights. Used wads of packing tape in strategic places to reduce the bounciness. I can see now.

69 GP just got new battery and air filter. 99 GTP got new engine mount and bucket wash. Happiness is a fixed Pontiac!

I had a good list on the wife's GP. Rear brakes, oil change, checked the TPS. Found a dead spot in that so replaced that. I noticed in town it was shifting really firm. Hopefully it cures the random high idle.

Bought a new hub this morning to replace the one with broken wires. Took the bad one back and exchanged it and was going to put it on, but discovered that the axle nut on the passenger side is larger than 34MM which is what the driver side is. Cussing ensued. Tossed that idea and decided to change the spark plugs and wires. 2 hours later, that was accomplished. Idle and acceleration is smoother than it was. We'll see if fuel mileage goes up a bit or not. In town mileage sucks as it is, but on the highway with the old plugs could get upwards of 27 MPG.

**Scottydoggs** · 01-17-2015

2 hours for a plug change? were you drinking? lol

**Russosaur** · 01-17-2015

I think my plugs took that long or longer.

**Scottydoggs** · 01-17-2015

ive changed my plugs in like 10-15 minutes lol one week i had em in and out 6 times or more.

**Emptydarkone** · 01-17-2015

LOL, just Mt. Dew. I was taking my time enjoying the decent for January weather working in the garage with the tunes cranked. I believe they were the original plugs and wires because the boots did NOT want to come off. Naturally, the back side was worse than the front. That's what took me the longest. It was nice being out there in the middle of January without being all bundled up.
