So the story so far.
The LT-1 had a number of vibrations that drove me nuts. Shocks, and tires took care of all but one of them.
I had something kind of hitting me in the arse
from under the car that wasnt in the drive train. That I could tell. The exhaust seemed real tight. It was only on the drivers side and at 60+mph.
Finally I took it and got it on a lift again. This time we could see where the exhaust on the drivers side was hitting the brace that holds the drivers seat in. Customized a washer and added it above the pipe in the housing that holds the pipe just before it goes through the cross member.
Worked like a charm.
Now the car goes down the road smooth as a babys bottom!
If I keep this up I will soon run out of things to fix on this car.
Now I am not sure it was a stock 70 washer though....

Well we would get along well then.
I once had a doctor tell me I was boring cause I do not drink, do not do drugs and don't smoke.
I simply refuse to GROW UP, love LIFE, Live large every day, and see good in everyone.
We are not here all that long, I know my life is already 1/2 over and I have no time put aside for arguing about anything.
People need to set priorities in life....slow down...enjoy family and friends, the simple things like pullin your oil drain plug and all that hot oil drips down to your elbow....grin an bear it!
Now just to be clear I do drink spirts with good friends, but you would never see me sittin in a bar after work every day....no time for that.
I know we would have a blast in each others company.
So where others see STRESSSSS I see HUMOR
YEAH BABY now DAT'S what I'm tauckin bout!

Priceless.
We may have wondered "off-topic" but this is also one of the reasons I come here.
I will follow this up in a PM Alan as 2010 is right around the corner.
And I did fix the vibration that came from the exhaust!
