planning on reattaching it to my ball joints then torqueing it down is =
this

Hugo,
 
I've got a question about the Bird with the Blower and no hood. You had =
two
shots of it in one it was on a trailer.
Is the motor in that a Pontiac, or is it a BB chevy?
 
Also wondering about the orange one from AZ?
 
I've got a buddie here at work who is a rat head, and he's always telling =
me
I shold make Fire-maro out of my car (Put in a big block). He's bettin'
those a Chevys. I think the blower car is, but I was wondering about the
orange one.

Now you've got me thinking. I recently had the water pump off of my car, =
and
I can't recall seeing two sleeve grommet/seals. There was the one going =
from
the pump to the manifold, but that's all I remember. 
 
Can you enlighten me?
 
Thanks,
Bob Trimpe
