95 Firebird Makeover

Hey guys. I created a thread, on another forum, about my 95 Formula makeover. Here is the link to the thread, in case anyone is interested.

I'm getting pretty darn close to being done with the mechanical aspect of the project.

I have all the Trans Am body parts for it, too. I like the Trans Am look better than the Formula look.

Any questions or comments are appreciated!

My favorite parts were doing the HVAC mod and the rocker arm clearancing.

Decided to clean it up the ignition wires even more:

Thank you.

I had to clearance the sides of the front of them. They were touching the edges of the "dish" in the retainers. It was time consuming.


Before clearancing.

After Clearancing-Installed. I can't remember at what value I gauged the clearance-.o4 to .05 I think. I just know that the rockers don't touch the retainers anymore.

What do you mean?

This post is started 11/10/14. Is that when u started the work that is in the links?

I started the whole project last year in January. I stopped working on it in October last year and only started it again a few weeks ago. I didn't make a thread here but in another forum, so I posted the link to my thread that's on the other forum.

I do have a thread here that shows my suspension work though.
