thanks for sharing the picture. Looks like a nice cruise. rob

Steve is that your back yard? Not only do the cars look great, that grass looks fantastic also!!! Say hi to Bob and we will see him in July!!

Looks great as always.

Do you make the shock protector plates also?

The one bracket looks like it’s for the temp selector in the dash ??? Your most welcome Willie.

First Tuesday evening cruise in of the season, weather was good turn out was good over 200 cars. Only 2 First gens mine and Bob's. Bob's father in law won part of the 50 50 raffle. Bob's new motor looks sweet.

Thanks for posting the pic Dennis!!! Steve a little pricy for me also but thought about you first and anyone else that might of needed some of these parts!! Thats what we do here, try to help our members!! Dan i thought the white lines and the small brackets didn't look correct, is there anything else that you noticed? I couldn't see the end of the tank for the nipple.

yes I'll measure twice drill once. LoL i originally was in a quandary to drill holes, but i love the look. saw them on a 72 down here the other day, and i really liked them. thank you Dennis.

Dennis is great. My parents seemed to like it for some dumb reason too. lol. Are you really sure you want to drill holes in the nice original bumpers? Once you start drilling you can’t go back. I wonder if I have nice bumpers with holes already in them. 🤔🤔 I don’t believe I do. lol. I get on the cleaning tomorrow.

I’ve seen them big things on Monte’s before. Not a fan of the at all. Honestly I’m not the bumper guard type. I think they look strange. But my 72 has the and they will remain.

Boxed and ready. Mail it tomorrow.

Never have. They looked like aftermarket. Don’t remember the rears being space that far apart either. Not sure why there would be 2 sizes unless they were year specific. The ones shown are on a 72.

Had a break in the action today and installed a door prize from Carlisle last year. Its the little things that make ya smile 😁

in my lifetime and currently many 402's have i owned. they're reliable and make their owners proud.

sorry i think i resent this. still a novice but learning. also to Marks 71 have you ever seen bumper guards that size before? what were the gm designers smoking !!!

Or I could put my grandkids to work cleaning it in the hotel parking lot after the trip over there. rib

Purchased this one from @Dtret. Thanks for the manifold, Dennis!

excellent! Thank you Dennis. if it's ok to call you Dennis, your making my day. i'm always available. we're you considering or able to also help with air ride part's i would need to resuscitate my SS at home in illinois? her name is sin city. my cars/girls have names. hope that doesn't make me an odd duck sir. looking forward to your assessment of the guards. and any and all help is for a noble cause of which i will be forever grateful. just let me know. sincerely steve.

I found them. Now I need to clean them up and see if they are good enough for what you’re looking for.

Here is the GM bulletin for regulator test and adjustment

Rebuilt 3 regulators and thought I would post process hoping it is of some help. 1. carefully remove top circular spring clip that holds all internal parts in place. Measure depth for installation, try not to distort, check pictures, I used a vice and compressed the plunger to gain acces for a small screwdriver to pop out clip. 2. Remove the rest of the parts including schrader valve and clean checking both ports and cylinder bore 3. Install new schrader valve and test. ( missed this step and had to start over due to bad valve) 4. Replace o ring, lube with a small amount of Vaseline lube bore Install remaining parts. 5.install snap ring, I used a vice, but it can be tapped in. Caution, do not press in too far as this sets your pressure. Start a little at a time, pressure should be from 100 - 130 psi. If too low depress further, if too high you have to pull the clip and start over. 6.the picture shows spring replacement (cut to length), o ring replacement and if missing top spring clip the seal shown works fine. As far as I know the parts are not available. Note, you can do all testing on your compressor. Let me know if you have questions

Looks like some adjustments may be in order. That’s my 71 you can get an idea of what you need.

Don’t get that excited. 😆 They have gone up but not that much. lol.

i took her out "bloo 402" and had a fantastic florida drive.
