You have several cars. You could be working on any of them and a random picture of a sump plug has zero relation to a power steering rack which was the project previously mentioned.
As said, I’m not psychic.
Use to have them in the Camaro. I also used to put them in my 3rd gen. The ones I used in my 3rd gen were silica bags, we used to put them in electronic signs to stop the glass misting up, so there were some spare that I used in my Firebird.Thanks for the info. Sounds like a good product.
I have ordered one to try in the Grand Prix, but our daily drivers steam up too on cold mornings, so we may end up ordering more lol.
Had the dehumidifier in the garage for a while day. 80% humidity at 10 deg C. It's taken about 100ml of water out the air in around 4 hours. It dosn't seem damp, just wanting to keep on top of it by not letting it get damp. The floor isn't quite level by the door not a perfect seal, and only a about 10cm of inches where it dips by 3mm at most. A little water can seep under the door. I will resolve that on a dry day. Great to see the dehum grabbing water from the air.

As an update, the one we ordered to try arrived and we've had it in the Civic. The windows are definitely much less misted up than without it, so we will be ordering another two for the CRV and GP.
Glad to hear you're keeping on top of any damp in your garage. Mine is a dead loss in that department at the moment. My plan is to either dry line it or clad the outside walls eventually.
Walked under the Camaro to plan for future work. Looking at where the fuel pipes terminate.

It's an 1850-3. I have ordered a rebuild kit. Probably worth a shot at £37.

Summit racing have stock of the correct type of carbs if you wanted to identify and fit the correct one and ditch the Holley.
Yeah certainly worth a shot.
If you need anything carb related give http://www.realsteel.co.uk/ a go. They keep some stock and have been really helpful on the phone. Website is dated, but they have soo much knowledge.
