I ran all the wiring for my wideband/boost gauge today so it's ready to plug into the AFR sensor and vacuum line when my blower gets here. Decided to replace the funky plastic push-clips on the a-pillar pod with some black buttonhead bolts and nuts so it's possible to remove and reinstall it.

The gauge itself is gorgeous, not liking the 4 bolt heads. Thinking of ways to secure it without screws but be able to remove easily but I got nothing either lol

Heavy duty Velcro? The type they use on windshields to hold an ez pass type deal.

Pulled the valve covers again to check for any sludge as I'm still slowly losing coolant. I should have gone ahead and pulled the rockers to check for Castech as I've got 706 heads. No signs of any sludge at all. Also none of the oil drain holes were clean as the TSB suggests for a problem. Hopefully I don't have a tiny crack anywhere.

Idle is still kinda rough, so definitely on to intake manifold gaskets. Time to order up all the goodies.

I think I'll also get some UV dye to add to the coolant. I'm just a bit perplexed because I'm not sure if I still have Dexcool after I had the waterpump replaced a couple years ago. I saw there's specific dye for dexcool from Delco.

Whatever you do don't mix Dex and any other coolant your just asking for trouble, did you check all the coolant hoses the one that runs through the TB could be leaking or those connectors at the firewall

I thought if other ways but I need to be able to get to the back of the gauge while the a-pillar is in place but unattached and the pod is close but also unattached. It's s PIA with 2 sets of cables and a vacuum line. I needed 4 bolts because the side wants to bulge out.

Maybe just paint the bolt heads to match?

What about the push pins that twist and the center pulls out so you can use and reuse them by just popping the center out and it releases the tabs so you can pull them out
