    I finally found a wagon I was willing to bring home. :D

    91 Caprice, originally a 5.0L but somewhere along the line it got a 5.7L TBI transplant (not an LT1).

    Power windows, seats, antenna & mirrors all work.

    Driver's rear view mirror was replaced after being knocked off in a close encounter with the garage door frame...

    It needs some TLC (brakes, tires, some dash/IP electrical glitches) but it's pretty clean and solid, especially for a Midwest car.

    And I like the SS rims.(y)

    That's a nice lookin' wagon. I love those low slung Chevy and Buick wagons. (y) I still haven't had the time to look at that Mercury Colony Park I want to buy because I've been so darn busy with work (I work for myself) and work must come first. Maybe over the weekend.

    Good luck with your wagon. That's a keeper.

    Very nice bubble. Cool that it has had the motor upgrade, thats a big step that you would not have to do in the future. now just do some small 15 minute mods to the injection setup and uncork that exhaust and she will run real damn strong!

    Well, to gain an easy 12+hp and some torque, grab 2 of these Throttle body Injector spacer. Be sure to get the 1/4 inch ones. These can be bought at about any parts store for under $10 each. These will raise your injectors up from the Throttle body and help atomize the air/fuel mixture for increased performance. One will work, 2 will work even better.

    TBI spacers

    Scott,
    Thanks for the tip. Sounds like one of the the easiest upgrades possible!
