Least the color will help when they gotta go through and pick it up alongside the road . I couldn't imagine doing that twice a day as a commute. |

Going in a new direction for transmission in my Camaro, offering up the old one. Trans is from a '88 Iroc, shifts fine, only thing that I know was done is the corvette servo stuff. Fluid looks/smell ... |

Going to be putting the AC stuff into my other 'maro, and swap over the regular heater box thing. Figure it wouldn't be too hard to recharge it down the road. From all the reading I did for the swap ... |
