No.
I haven’t found a replacement Riv. yet.
Still looking for the right boat tail.
I had one cover on my big Pontiac and it fell apart quick.
-
So, my last import car cover started disintegration within a year.
Any one recommend a outdoor grade replacement that’s not too expensive?
No snow here and under a car port.
Thanks!
Happy Holidays

That ‘66 is a steal.
Would make a great southern ride if all the upholstery and side vinyl was changed to white. Would stay cool cruising the coast while staying classy and factory appearance.
The wheel covers are stunning.
- very tempted

PPG BLACK paint is very inexpensive.
Only cost me a few hundred bucks to repaint my big Pontiac 2 years ago.
-
Also make sure it’s not the alternator that’s whistling. I once installed a new one that “whistled”.
I mistakenly thought it was a belt.
I wouldn’t trust a new electronic regulator - low quality. I believe the old styles are still available just have to look more…. -
Wow
Internal collapse. I totally forgot that could happen.
Now I recall from working on jets all hoses in the engine bay had to be replaced every 5 years and I believe all others every 7?
Good practice for cars as well.
I only use Gates hoses now.
You guys?
Thanks!

Don’t skimp on the paint.
Get a urethane based with added hardener.
Then always keep the wheel shadowed from direct sunlight when under long periods.

Assuming the wiring is routed as original, it’s likely a problem is in or at the master switch. These can be rebuilt. Pull the switch and probe with a meter. If good then You will need a wiring diagram to verify / chase the leads for being correctly laid out.

I really dislike (say hate) how this site/page operates. It's one of the most difficult, user unfriendly forums I've ever experienced! Navigation within, through, and all around it is nothing but frustrating to me.
Rant over. Sorry I missed your offer Pat, on this and your Tilt Steering Column.
Turn on your automatic notification to your private e-mail address within your profile.
I sent you a P.M. months ago but never heard back.
So sorry. You'll find them.

I gave the last of my Riviera items to a cool cat from South Africa but I forgot these.
One last time - Does ANYONE want these before I toss them?

That sold quickly !
It’s a hot market

Your compressor is correct.
The brackets are not correct.
Any ‘67 - ‘69 Buick V8 donor should have the brackets.
Your intake manifold must have the bolt hole for the cross brace.

Gee
That gizmo has all the design of Spacely Space Sprockets!
That styling is overdue for a comeback. Stainless cover next time.

I’m looking for a nice PO2 no caps.
You have one?
-
All valve covers in general
Great points
Thanks all!
-
So, I always had valve covers leak within a couple years.
Aside form gopping up with two tons of sealant, whats your best method?
Sealant on both sides of gaskets or one?
Cork, rubber, fibrous gaskets?
What type of sealant?
Torque value?
Thanks

Man, these boats are flipping fast. That car was up for sale just a few years ago up north.
Hence the no AC.
Now she’s in Florida.
Well I guess one can drive her the two cool months out of the year in comfort. Not me.

They can copy any image but the 3D effect claim can be misleading.
The “3D” reference is to the outer dome shape of the medallions. The image under the clear dome remains 2D.
I had a simple Chevy bow tie set made years ago and it was perfect for my set up. I wanted the colors to match my car.
But the image was not 3D.

Best car cover under $250?

Yes I sold Black Beauty. Black vinyl interiors are simply evil here in the warm seasons. I did source the ‘67 cloth. Gorgeous and not cheap.
To do the paint and do the cloth would have been a fortune. Sold her to a Corvette gentleman up north. I don’t think he’ll ever “vette” again.
I’m looking for the right boat tail. A light color interior or cloth darker.
