You know that is a great question. New inside carpet is on the list, pulling the radiator and getting a little leak fixed, there is a Z-28 at the junk yard I want to pull the steering gearbox from. I really need to work on the suspension some more. It feels very loose and sloppy, so that may be the next bigger thing. There was a secondary going on the same time as this, I replaced the leaky heater core and the soaked firewall pad too.

Oh yeah, I still need to clean up the exhaust hanging, the mufflers are not nice and even like I want them. But I will take it to the auto craft shop on post so I can use a lift.

I aksed Summit what jets I should use here at 6000' and am waiting on the answer.

Thanks for all the help, suggestions are always welcomed.

I think the valve covers you have already look pretty cool. Not everything needs to be chrome to look good.

Paint would be good especially if you replace the stickers.

pretty sweet, I just replaced the tray on mine too. Having trouble finding a breather cap for the valve covers, keep getting ones that are too big.

what do you mean by to big??
they make different sized grommets for different sized breathers or you can get the push on style with built in grommet.

the hole is only 1" w/o grommet. I need a push in with a 3/4" neck. I have a home engineered one in right now, but it aint pretty.
