Guys....It's actually the dipstick to check the turn signal fluid! That's what it says on his build sheet! :Brow:
If you connect a 3rd one to the power steering pump, you'll get an extra 80 horse! :Brow: :Brow: :Brow:
Years ago I had a roomate in college who had a 4.0 GPA but was totally booksmart - no common sense at all. I used to work on my daily driver '69 Buick all the time so the guys at the local parts store knew me well, and my roomy knew I could wrench on cars. One day, Brainiac asked me what he could do to improve performance on his '73 chevy Impala (350 2 barrel) and I told him "Go to the parts store, ask for Joe and tell'em I sent you, and tell him you want the 2 cyl. upgrade for your car ..." he asked whats that ? and I said "Its a kit that lets you bolt on an extra 2 cyl. to the front of the motor so you wou'll have a v10 instead of a v8 ... increasing performance by 20%". ... Next time I went in to the auto parts store, Joe was hysterical and said they passed that guy around from one counter jock to another as each exited into to store room to laugh their :moonu: off. They even comp'ed me on what I needed that day in payment for the laughs
I'm guessing someone said the car has a turbo350 and the guy figured turbo means the intake and exhaust go together to give boost. Then he saw the heat pipe from the exhaust to the intake and realized that must be the part where the turbo is. Then he replaced the "stock" part with a nice aftermarket turbo intake piece he found on ebay. Now he has a cold air intake on his turbo 350 car. It's really pretty easy to understand if you put a plastic bag over your head and breathe deeply for 20 minutes then wake up and run full speed into a door frame with your head lowered The sad thing is that his friends probably think it's cool that he has a turbo v8 and knows how to build it up.
Hold on a minute! None of you experts noticed that it is also hooked up to the breather on the valve cover. It's an old street racer trick piece. This is how it works: When the motor reaches 5,000 rpm the exhaust heat from the heat riser travels up through the tube into the cage on the front of the tube. Inside the cage is the owners pet Gerbel. When the heat sets the Gerbels tail on fire he runs like a SOB on a tubine wheel thus reversing the airflow. The Gerbel spins the turbine wheel at about 25,000 rpm and a tremendous charge of air is then forced through the breather down into the carnkcase thus increasing the volocity of the crankshaft. That is where the 20+ extra horsepower comes in. I've herd that this trick was invented by some slick Brooklyn N.Y. street racers way before NOS was in vogue. Now you've been schooled!
Wait, what's that by the front left edge of the driver's seat? The power window master switch? Still worth teh bux to part out, though.
I was so busy looking at the beer; I didn't notice the window switch laying in the floor. And, the white dashboard. Is the dash board white from the factory? Seems like it would cause glare on the windshield?
