rockauto has it but it is not GM oem

sounds like a motorcycle group I led. Guy from out of town rode his breaks instead of using lower gear coming down a mountain, then blamed me when his brakes failed.

How long do yall think it will be before there is another mass shooting to use as fuel for gun grabbing legislation?
-
BTW, when you ride Warwoman, be sure to head over to The Dillard House to eat in Dillard, Ga
-
You're the third to recommend war women to me so I guess I better check it out in June. So many great rides in the area it's a tuff decision which ones not to do.
Google Caesars head, Pretty Place, and Sassafras mtn lookout. These three are close to each other, with spectacular views and worth the ride while in the area.

I love running 28 down that way and then usually 107 back north. Makes for a nice loop out of Maggie valley. Welcome to the forum and glad to see your pics.
Have you had a chance to ride Warwoman rd? It runs from 28 over to Clayton, GA. It is a great road as well. We have some great rides here. 178 between Rosman, NC and hwy 11 in SC, Ceasars Head/pretty place in SC, Sassafras Mtn lookout and many more. This puc is from Wigington rd. Over look just off 107

Exactly what I said. A quad block or 4-way has 8 valves. I'm guessing you haven't been around long enough for standard terminology. Nice Dodge Neon you got there.
Ok, are you intentionally trying to be an ass or just poking fun at me?? I never liked typical builds. I did the pt because it was different than ever Honda I seen at shows. It is fully shaved, bagged, the gas filler is behind ford teardrop tail lights, antenna is frenched into front fender, when I shaved the rear hatch, I installed back up cam in old key location. I have been in the car and car audio scen for a very long time. Another ass seeking attention prompted the stereo build he gave false information too saying you needed at least 12s and thousands of watts to be loud...sooooo, I did a build with 2 Sundown 8s that does 140s on music. Again, just wonder what kind of guy you are and is this the typical type respons on this page? If it is a bunch of smart asses then I Don't see myself being here long. If it is people who can handle being corrected in an effort to educate someone who comes here for such info, then maybe I'll hang around

download.jpegIm guessing you are new to air suspension. A quad block has 8 valves and when a person says you need three valves that includes up and down. This is the particular quad block I use in most ssystems including Slingshots.
Lol. Definitely not NEW to air ride. That manifold you showed has 8 valves. Her is my other toy and the reason for my screen name

You want a minimum of 1 gallon tank. If not you'll be running off the compressor a lot. You may be able to get all the equipment under the hood, but you still need to get your power wire to the battery.
List of equipment you would need under the hood: 1 gallon slim line tank, compressor, 3 individual valves or one quad block, various fittings, and hose. Are you doing manual or digital controls?
I mentioned the slim line tank to provide you with more space for the compressor and valves which take up a big chunk of room as well. I built lrobbi and my setup from scratch and will help in anyway I can. Air suspension systems are really easy to plan/install once you know the basics of suspension travel.
It would be 6 individual valves if doing each wheel individually. 4 if doing front/rear setup. One valve for up, one valve for down.

I went over a ton of different options. There are several ways to obtain heaters in an SS. I went this route as it was the simpler and more inexpensive option. Another way that I seriously contemplated was using a small heater designed for hotrods mounted in the engine are and running ducting into the cabin area
-
I did this several months back. It is another coolant related mod.
Glass radiator hose with led back lighting.

thanks for the link. Those should be an improvement. I have used these down to 42 degrees so far. When I first tried them out, I was driving around and mostly felt the seat heaters. I was kind of disappointed in the floor heaters. I put my hand down there and could feel warm air but it didn't seem to be warming my feet.....that was until I switched it off for comparison. It was a BIG difference! The stronger fan you suggested should push the air more into the footwell and away from the currents pulling air out of the SS. There is also an opening at top of speaker housing that should be closed off so it isn't blowing cool air across the fins but instead more of the warmer footwell air
-
I then covered this with some metal mesh from the hardware store. I cut, bent and secured using the straps from the steering coolers. Each fan is on a separate switch.
-
The fans push air through a couple of power steering coolers with lines teed into to coolant lines. The heater lines have shut off valves so the hot coolant isn't there during summer driving.
-
Here is the heater setup I came up with for my SS. I used a couple of 5" 12v fans. They do around 190 cfm each. This was the strongest I could find like this.
-
That's a pretty cool idea - never seen that before! Nice work!
That's a pretty cool idea - never seen that before! Nice work
thanks man. I used a couple of power steering coolers to circulate coolant, pretty powerful 12v fans to push air through them. Each side is on a separate switch. I teed into the factory coolant line and have shutoff valves for this for summer driving

Lowpt2001 welcome to the forum. That's a beautiful pic. From whence do you hail? (Translation: Where ya at?)
I'm in the northwest corner of upstate SC. Very close to both NC and GA lines. Great rides around here
-
This is what I have worked on recently. Adding heaters to the floor area for driver and passenger feet. This with heated seats and taller windshield make driving in cooler weather much more pleasant.
