    BUT if you really don't have the money, your shocks right now are blown, and you don't plan on doing the coilover kit for a while. I say just buy em.

    Msd Distributor For 5.0

    Bad luck! I do agree sometimes msd might suck, but I've had an msd streetfire I bought and installed February of last year and I've had no issues. Put about 15-20k on it so far. My last 89 5.0 had an msd pro billet for 3 years with no issues. Both parts bought brand new.

    Front Brake Pad

    If I were you if pick up the steeda or maximum motorsports steel caliper sleeves. It'll keep your calipers from. "Wandering" around and causing uneven wear on the rotors and pads

    Cruzin'

    Mine doesn't. Or do I just not know how to use it? Well the ac doesn't work, vent air doesn't work, heater core bypassed, so I'm assuming it doesn't lol.
