I have not made any plans for cooling fan to radiator clearance yet. The car has a champion 3 row radiator in it now with a flex fan and decent length spacer. The CVF kit is designed to work with either a mechanical or electric fan. I ordered the recommended Edelbrock water pump. |

The CVF serpentine kit came in and looks like it's pretty good quality! Silver Sport shipped the TKX kit and it should be here Monday. Now I just have to decide what to install first.......

"A bird in the hand." Work with what you have while you wait for what's coming. Opposite ends of the engine so they should be totally independent, except for having to rotate the engine by hand to dial in the bell housing.

The only problem is that I am dreading removing the water pump to install the new Edelbrock unit as recommended by CVF. Too many bad experiences working on Buick engines with steel bolts that thread into the aluminum front cover.  I have a whole mess of parts here to install and little time to do so. All of the Vintage Air gen IV magnum parts are now here as well. I'm just going to have to tear into it.....

Door tag was removed for paint by the PO and not reinstalled. I have seen it somewhere in a box that came with the car, I just have to find it.  EDIT..... Found a door tag! Weather or not it belongs to this body shell is up for debate. The seller provided pictures of the car stripped and bare metal, no doors, glass, ect.... Pictures of doors stripped of all tags and paint as well.  Edited by NorCalAMX - Jan/31/2022 at 8:54pm |

The door tag numbers seem to align with your glove box number. Probably early Feb build. Color code on that door tag is Blazer Blue. Is there any evidence of blue paint on the car? Under carpet or sill plates by chance?

I will look further when I pull the dash for AC install. The PO only provided pics of the sill's completely stripped to bare metal. I have two vin tags that match. One on the right front spring tower and one up at the windshield. My vin is A8M397X230043

All of your numbers look like they belong together.
I see a valve cover tag in one of your photos. That info would be the last piece of the puzzle.Edited by BU1 - Feb/01/2022 at 5:57pm |
