Guess its a habit to write evening lol. Possibly going to a junkyard tomorrow to find an airbox for the horizon. Thinking of selling it this year as it just doesn't get much use.

Hi `Keane, It feels like evening to me also (lol)...I've been working some weird shifts & I've just been taking power naps to recharge.

Good Luck on finding an air box for your Horizon. You should be able to get top $ for it if you decide to sell it. I'd like to have a turbo version one...

Thumbs up MCF Racing Mod `Barbara

Hi Mod Barbara,
I bet those Valve Cover's will make you go faster & if they don't they sure look nice on your V8

Do you have an electric fuel pump ? Wish you good weather and lots of safe/fun @ the track & with your friends.

Thanks for sharing your updates & adventures...I enjoy

Thanks BBMike!
I doubt the valve covers will do anything for my speed but I really like how they look!!
No, I still have a mechanical fuel pump. I will change to electric fuel pump and electric water pump drive over the winter. I have both in the closet but just don't have time to change them out right now and work out any problems I may have with either.

Thanks Mod Barbara for your reply & I understand that it takes time & $'s to get your Monte the way you want it to ``be & run
I do hope you let your parts outa the closet , because I think they should be able to be & do what they want to do. "2 be free 2 be & to pump fuel & water for a being running Chevy Monte Carlo...
I think electric pumps are so much better then manual ?, but 2 each their own. >>>>> (Let me out >Please > ) It's so dark in the closet >Sorry my mind is tired (LOL) + 2 much coffee again : )

Oh most definitely the electric pumps and pump drives are more efficient than the manual and once I change them out it will free up some HP since I will not be running belts.
Gotta keep the car parts in the closet...my cats are too nosey to just leave them out...LOL

Top dollar, right lol. Thats the annoying part as it'll probably just bring an insultingly low amount of money in. The only desirable models are the turbo dodges.
