The silver box in the middle. Stamped with 024. Thanks! I'm putting down sound deadening material and new pads and carpet on my 4door. 👍

Technically it's a liquid/vapor standpipe, so that liquid goes back into the tank and only vapor goes into the charcoal canister.

Can we develop you into a smartphone app?

"Joe, how much backspacing do I need to fit my new rims in the back of a 70 Cutlass S?"

"Backspacing is the wrong thing to worry about, young tadpole. True harmony is achieved when offset is near zero."

Some people already have that app. It's my phone number on speed dial.

Now if I could only figure out how to monetize that.
