694doorbird got a reaction from LFairbanks in Chevy help
For the most part we did. Turned out that the distributor has a tach connection built it. We wired up a connector to fit on the spade. Idle was set about 1,500 rpm in gear. Slowed it down to 550 or so,a and its running pretty good now. We also found a couple bad vacuum lines going to the carb and fixed those. I feel that the previous owner had the idle set so high to cover the vacuum leaks. Eventually it will need a carb rebuild, but it's not high on the priority list. (Idle rises when spraying around the carb with carb cleaner).
We also changed valve cover gaskets and straightened his valve covers to fix an oil leak. He no longer needs to put a drip pan down when he comes over.

694doorbird got a reaction from Dan@Adams in HGG - not for me
Beading on my sons El Camino about 3 weeks after applying HGG. At this moment this is the only protection on his car, no polish or wax.

My maple tree finally turned colors. Seemed to do it overnight.

So true. My iPhone 6s has as many megapixel as my $600 canon camera.
This is from the top of Dimond Head this morning.

I use to shoot slide film, which I miss a lot. I love looking at older photos so I used my iPhone to illuminate the slides from behind.

Thank you to all who have served or that are serving at this time! Even though I do not have the day off, I am training Warriors the next two weeks, which is very rewarding.

694doorbird got a reaction from rkj4243 in HGG - not for me
That's what I hoping for. When he first bought it, he did keep it clean, polished and waxed even in the cold Virginia winter. Last summer he spent most of it in Arizona working on the restoration of President Eisenior's Air Force One. Now that he landed a new job and moved back to Oklahoma, he wants it to look good again. Once we get 2 free days, we'll work on it...

Mike,
for not being polished or waxed, it looks great!
The top surfaces should really be back to shiny once polished, due to them being exposed more to the direct sunlight, etc.

694doorbird got a reaction from Rich in HGG - not for me
Tried the HGG on my sons El Camino. He's had it for a year now, but didn't have time to take care of it this past summer, so there is no wax left on it. The HGG did make a difference on the sides but no noticeable difference on the hood or roof. The paint is smooth to the touch though, so there is some protection on it now.
Picture 1 hood before wash,
Picture 2 right side before wash,
Picture 3 right side hood treated, left side untreated. Don't see any difference here.
Picture 4 right side after treated,
Picture 5 left side treated.
I think it looks pretty good for having no wax on it since last winter. When he finds time, well clay it, Polish and wax it.
