Frosty

Awesome !!!!!

No I didn't try calling him. I figured he'd email,when he was good and ready. You may have a point there partner!?!

Alright then...that problem is solved. What's next? World hunger? World Peace? How is notallthere and chlamydia alike?

Maybe you need notallthere, GE, and I (and maybe SD) over for a "guys beer and pizza" weekend. Sure we shoot the crap out of your food budget, fart all over the place, make weird bodily noises, and generally be rude to the neighbors with our weird accents but at least we will get that sucker torn apart pretty damn quick. Not to mention that we make it look like you used C4 too.

Thanks excellent news my friend. BTW I sent an email Don Keefe to see how he's doing.

Is it any easier to get in Ontario or New Brunswick? If not, come to Detroit then, you also pick up some car and truck parts cheap while you are here. Heck some of GE's stump water technically qualifies as an accelerant.

Will these guys do instead? http://www.canadapartsonline.com/search/?N=0&Nf=price6|GT+.01|shipping2|GT+0&Nr=AND(universal%3A0)&Ntk=Main&Ntx=mode+matchallany&Nty=1&PN=0+5583&VN=4294954887+4294966496+4294960899+4294958065+4294965600&universal=0&Nf=price6|GT .01|shipping2|GT+0

Yup pretty much. Here is the Rockauto link....$38 for just the pump and new gas screens essentially. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3097209&cc=1304660&jsn=429

I vote for C4.

Greg another thing would be to spend the $75 or so price and order the car's original documentation from PHS Automotive Services Inc (http://www.phs-online.com/). This documents how the car was built from the factory, the options it came with, etc. For a Pontiac owner, It is "the documentation" to have to authenticate that the car is indeed a numbers matching car. You will need to supply the VIN # when you request the paper work. I won't knock a Lemans. I own a '72 Lemans Sport convertible myself. It was built with a 350 - 2bbl but when I bought it, it already had a 455 in it. So much for numbers matching. So now I resto-mod it. I have around 103,000 miles on it. I bought with around 65,000 miles on it over 22 years ago. I also own an '86 Trans Am....black and gold, 305 Tuned Port. It only has 43,000 miles on it. I am the only of this car.

Time for the handy man's secret weapon? Duck tape? Or is it C4?

Agreed most reputable OEM/OERs will have one. Most. I suppose this make you a clutch performer? Rimshot!

Lots of vegetation damage. Looks like you got away pretty much unscathed. Congratulations bud! Any slight damage or loosen on the house? Any water intrusion or spoiled food? Mostly important - how's the GTO?!?!? Tell Don Keefe I said that too please !

Several things will determine the value of the car. 1. Does it run and how well ? This is rather obvious but it still important. A running, all original car is worth more than a dead one. So some money spent on a tune-up, battery, new hoses, etc. will pay for itself. 2. Inspect the exterior and interior thoroughly. Rust, oxidation, and rot will devalue the car big time. If mice/rats/bugs have taken up residence in the car at some point in the past, prepare to lower the price or spend some money to clean it up / repair it. 3. Look at the tires and all the rubber hoses, if they are dry rotted or cracking then they have become a safety hazard - its buyer beware or they need to be replaced. 4. Hagerty Classic Car insurance has a good tool to get you in the ball park. Obviously the car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. However, here is the link to give you a starting point. https://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools As for marketing the car, that depends on you and your neighbor. How much do you want to spend? How much time are you willing to invest in trying to sell it? Selling vehicles on Craigslist, eBay are popular. Some people feel websites national websites like Autotrader.com are a good way to go. Advertising in magazines like Hemmings Motor News is always a possibility. Each option as varying costs and reach. Let's not forget advertising in your local newspaper or Auto Swapper. If you do anything online, the more pictures - the better to attract a potential buyer. Some sites limit the number of pcitures or the file size (of the picture in terms of storage size), but use as much as they will allow you to. Does that help answer your question?

The remnants of Hurricane Irma has made it to Michigan today. At lunch time, as I was walking between buildings here in Lansing, it started raining briefly. I can't believe that b*tch Irma spit on me!!!!!

Spin the nuts of fortune boys! Takes your chances! Just think if you spin the bolts, you will have even more quality time with the Sierra and less with the family and the Malibu. Rockauto had the whole fuel pump and fuel level sender assembly for under $200. The pump was well under $100. Let's face it, when I was still at AC Spark Plug Division back in the 1980s, they developed the first roller vane high pressure in-tank fuel pumps that went in the Corvettes, Camaros and Firebirds because they had the Tune Port Fuel injected motors. These motors require higher fuel pressure than (at the time) conventional TBI and carburetors. The roller van pumps did tend to get noisy with age. It might also mean that some sort of contamination (e.g. dirt) got past the fuel screen and got sucked into the fuel pump and was slowly destroying it. Not sure which thing has happened with yours Pro, but it sounds like it needs to be replaced - just for sanity's sake. Double check your fuel screen regardless.

Nice ride. So what's been done to it besides the non-stock hood and chrome wheels?

Let me guess - in-tank high volume fuel pump. Also, are you looking at replacing just the electric pump or the entire pump/fuel level sender-float assembly?

Good point,..unless they are now officially parts cars.

Sierra or Malibu?

Rapeseed oil is just another name for canola oil, or at least one variant of it. It is one the largest sources of canola oil in the world. There is something wrong with a man who has neat and orderly tools all of the time. He has too much time on his hands and not enough projects. Say isn't there a Sierra that needs brakes and a Malibu that needs to be euthanized?

We're not the ones that need to be patient. You and Ringo are the ones that have to be patient, such as getting power back, going thru and assessing things like food spoilage, any property damage, etc. We are just happy you folks are safe and okay. We will be patient. Good luck.

Indecision may or may not be your problem GE!!!!! As for playing with the tools and screwing up the works, too late - notallthere already beat you to it. After all, it's his garage! Now GE you shouldn't talk about a man's garage after I saw yours (at least your old one). I am still trying to figure out why there are orange Challenger parts sitting on the front seat of the Oldsmobubble. Just think of the damage Pro, notallthere, or I could do to yours.....on your wedding night! With or with any Ol' Granddad. What the hell is Turmeric, Cardamom, or Fenugeek? These sound like exotic poisons rather than spices.

Maybe a life jacket too. Glad everyone is staying dry and safe.

I'm glad to hear everyone is safe for the moment. I hope all of your loved ones are safe too. I hope the cops charge the crap out of the looters. Now onto some humor.... My local Chevy dealership has just the ride you guys need right now too ! The windshield says "Gator Done!". This is sitting in the used car lot too BTW. The funny thing is that I spotted this on my way back from picking up dinner for my wife and I yesterday. This is the same dealership last year that had the monster lifted, LS-powered Trans Sport.
