I bought it from TA Performance, so it should have sits in a Buick ! :(

Looks like you need different rubber isolators. Here are some that I bought and what came with my 68 GTO.

Looks like you need the long ones with the big openings which I cannot find.

Love the new garage! Great work space!

In fact one of the lower rubber had moved and that why the radiator was not in the right place...
I didn't noticed it whan bolting the upper bracket :rolleyes:

My rubber are right ;) I wanted to replace them but they where out of stock by TA Performance (Buick specialist), i will check on my El Camino if chevys are the same.

Thanks anyway for your help !!

so the intercooler is connected, i cut all the tubing to the right length...

Do you know of any small tool to make a bead, or rolled up at the end of the tube ? Is there only a Woodward-Fab Bead Roller Kit which can do it?
I cut some tubing which had bead on each side but now one side is missing his bead ! :(

Any help will be welcome !!

Thanks

David

I ordered a sandwich plate to place between the oil filter in order to have more holes to fit the oil pressure and T°....
