No, Ms. Micki, this is NOT the X-rated section...

it's a squeaky-clean question for the 907: what work (if any) are you going to do on your C3 this Labor Day weekend? Hard-core mechanical? Or beauty treatments?

I'm flushing the coolant and changing heater hoses. Replacing the fuel filter. Sea Foaming the top end. Maybe de-greasing the bottom end.

You?

I think I will take the alternator from my LS1 down and have it tested. I tore it down and cleaned it up. Hopefully it still works. They are not like our alternators that came stock on our cars. The LS1 alternator does not want to come apart.

RATS!!Shocked  I thought it WAS the "X-Rated Section!!" LOLLOLLOL  Who wants to think about "Squeaky-Clean" when you can get your hands dirty on your C3??  Mines "Hard-Core Mechanical."  Spindels & T-Arms, now is that "Hard-Core" enough for ya!?LOLLOLLOL
 
What is "Sea Foaming?" Confused

Thanks!  Where do you get that stuff, at an auto store or Wal*Mart (LOL)?  Is that the name of it?  Sea Foam?

i'm going to take it in for an inspection on saturday and pray that it passes. And then maybe i'll put in some new spark plugs.
other than that, i just plan on driving the heck out of it.  the weather is supposed to be perfect in south central PA all weekend.

Hopefully I will be paying the bloke who put my headers on if he gets it done.
Sometimes I think it would be better to order the WRONG part, then they might send you the RIGHT one the 1st time.
 
Gave Sanderson all the info, the guy sounded like he knew EXACTLY what I needed. They ran way to close to the block and would have had to change the routing of the plug wires. Sent them back and they are, or did, (I still dont know) send the right ones.
 
Havent had my car for a month now. Missed all of August.
This sucks.
