@jeepers2655 It was the late 90's when the civilian versions got an all plastic intake, and the PI (Performance Improved) ones got an aluminum cross over on the front. There was a very quiet recall where they would replace them with the PI versions.
The intake on my 99 cracked after it was too late for the recall, and I replace it with a PI version myself.
Great plan on the Cutlass! I say go for it! I would love to see resto videos on the old 78! I was driving a 99 Mercury Sable but after several parts breaking due to high mileage I transitioned over to my trusty 84 Riviera. With the poor economy I just did not want to buy a new car and really do not need one either. Like you said...newer cars = plastic parts. Good work on the LS!
I agree great to see a new vid..u been taking your impala to any of the shows or that one mall parking lot show or your job keeping u too busy??if u'd like checkout an comment on my recent upload..it would be cool if I got some feedback so I know ppl outhere are enjoying lol

She dreams of driving the 59 impala I bought for her, someday. She used to drive a 1978 Cutlass Supreme 2dr V8,with all the options. She loved that car and drove it for 9 yrs and she swore that was the car for her, well, I'm the big dummy that got a good deal on a newer car for her because the engine was using oil in the Cutlass. Now I don't think she will ever go back. I still have her Cutlass, its in my field cars video, one day I may redo it for her??? and see what happens.
Dan Remember happy wife happy life. Let her drive whatever she wants. If the only thing that could be wrong with her is that she likes to drive plastic cars, consider yourself lucky as hell.
when you tell her that you better have a helmet on, most women don't find hot rods as their preferred mode of transportation, they just don't know what they are missing
My 06 has this same problem. Thanks for the video.

Ive seen those Lincolns being traded in with way over 200k running great. They are good cars.
