I went rather invasive with my setup. Factory gages work also. Used SW green line gages with billet aluminum pods to keep the angle right.

Believe it or not, duplicolor vinyl paint works real good on carpet. If your carpet is just faded, you could go this route. Although it may not match your rear carpet.

I wondered what they were for. They seemed awfully short.

Yes, the one on the left is my old napa one. I gave them the dimensions of it so that hopefully I get the right ones this time.

Well, I should have waited till I got them to post. Not sure what these are for, but they won’t fit. They sent me a recall tag and are going to try and get the right ones. The picture shows my old one along with the new one. Hopefully they have the right ones. Sorry for any trouble this may have caused for any of you guys.

Just ordered 2 from oldbuickparts.com. I called them up to be sure that they had the wider lip on the top. I asked them what brand it was and they told me that they have it made for themselves. They are about $32 each plus shipping. I've been waiting for napa or wix to get them back in stock for over a year. I made it a mission today to find some, so I thought I would share my luck.

Thank You, but I already have on coming from another member. Thanks to all that offered👍

Anyone have a spare air cleaner assembly that they could sell? Not worried about condition, as long as it isn’t bent up or warped. No decal is fine also.

Mines been in my 64 since I bought it in 2014. Put 24k miles on it since then.

Here’s my setup, 15 x 8 U.S. Wheels all the way around. M/T drag radials, 295/55/15’s in the rear and M/T sportsman s/t radials 255/60/15 in the front. They fit nice with no rubbing in the rear with full exhaust. In the front, they will rub on the inside at the very end of lock to lock.

That’s nice👍

The gear vendors is a nightmare to install. I did a write up on it in this forum a few years back. To me it was a fun challenging job that involves a lot of fabrication. I found my GV unit for about $800 on Craigslist which is why I went that route. I would go with the 2004r if I was to do it again though.

I have a gear vendors unit in my 64 riv. and it takes my 3.07 down to a 2.38 final drive. I can tell you that you should have no problems. In fact, I wish my final drive was 2.16 because I still think it revs to high at speed. I can shift to overdrive at 20 mph with no problems. It is possible that the stock convertor is slipping to much also. But I haven't been in another riv. to check.

I’ve had 194’s in mine for 4 years now with no melting problems that I have noticed. Since I use it for work, my dash lights can be on 30mins at a time.

Replace your dash lights with 194 bulbs and it will brighten up. Not sure what bulb will brighten up the clock though.
