Spent some time with Jeff Ashen at MCACN and he convinced me to buy one of his original restored RC-15 radiator caps and get rid of the reproduction cap on the Chevelle. Never looked at one side by side - but there is a huge difference. The cap condition matches the age of the rest of the under hood look. Thanks Jeff!

Like most of us here understand, it seems a constant effort to constantly improve and sort out/dial in our cars. The minutia of the small/relatively obscure parts can be both fun and mind numbing once you dive in (see previous post about the radiator cap). As I noted in a separate update post about our Regal and restoring an original horn for it, we met Gary from The Horn Works as our swap space neighbor at MCACN last fall and got talking about the correct horn(s) for my Chevelle. All the time I have owned the car (since 1987) it has always had dual horns. I was aware they were not original to the car but assumed it was supposed to have 2 horns. Gary let me know that it was supposed to have only a single horn. As luck would have it when I dropped of the Regal horn to be restored he looked through his stash of horn cores and found the correct (and dated) horn for the Chevelle. He restored it at the same time as the Regal horn and I installed it this evening when I got home. Thanks again Gary.
