| Also note that that fuse holder has 2 ways you can plug the fuse into it, depending on whether or not you want the Power Point to be on just when the key is on, or powered whether the key is on or not. Handy feature. |

| Ideally you'd replace the dryer and the orifice tube too, as they'll have gotten contaminated from the system being opened. Then have a vacuum pulled on the system to remove moisture and test the seals, etc. Then have it charged, and IIRC harofreak00 recommends adding a little extra r134a to the sys... |

They might fit, but you'd have to check caliper clearance, backspacing, etc. Best thing to do would be to test-fit one, I guess... |

| Hogan used to make a DP that bolted up to the flange behind the stock cat. They're not in business that I'm aware of anymore. I had a ZZP DP welded in with a high flow cat for $60, plus $180 for the DP (brand new, bought off another member) and $75 for the cat. You can probably just go to a muffler ... |

| Did you DIY, or have a shop do it? If the Check Gas Cap light started coming on after you did the fuel pump, I'd investigate the seal on the fuel pump assembly. Seems a little too convenient to not be correlated. |

| There's no gain on any N/A setup that I'm familiar with to intentionally convert to E85. The whole point of modding your car to E85 is the additional octane allows you to run more boost and keep combustion temps and knock under control. You'd waste way more money on Injectors than you'd save on any ... |

| Yeah, I don't know what car you'd be getting 18" steelies off of, which is the most important thing. The 2010+ Caprice uses 5x120 bolt pattern with 14mm lugs, the Bonneville uses 5x115 with 12mm lugs, which are way different. I don't know the hub diameters of either, but I'd assume they're not ... |

| First step is to visually inspect everything under there. It could be a loose toe-rod, could be a bad shock mount, could be a number of things. If the whole car shakes, I'd check it out ASAP and make sure it's not something that could fail and lead to an accident. |

| You could get a used one from the junkyard, but you'll still have to have someone install it. Is it broken? If you have comprehensive insurance usually there's a pretty low deductible on glass, usually $100 and it doesn't affect your insurance rates. |
