    Little help please

    front alignment

    Alignments are my life..... You can adjust camber without the tool if you know right where to brace the breaker bar. It can be a pain in the butt, but it does work. I don't have every alignment tool out there, but what I do have works just fine. Actually, you can adjust caster a little...

    How to remove the dash?

    Usually removing the dash is a must when you have to replace the heater core on an A/C car. At least, I haven't found a better way. As far as the column goes, I would just pull the wheel off and let the column hang on the seat.

    Aluminum radiator for II?

    When I was in the military in Hawaii, I took my 77' stock 2 core rad and had it converted to a 4 core unit. I also did it to one I have here for my 76'. The top and bottom cans are wide enough for a four core. So, you should be able to go to your local rad shop, if you trust them enough, and...

    Most likely, the cat is clogged. Get rid of it. If it has an egr, then it can go also, just make sure you plug the holes. I didn't see you say what engine it has.. Either its a 2.3l 4 cyl or 2.8l or 2.9l v-6. good luck

    Hey guys, what is this part called? (Steering related) *56k*

    It's not a rag joint. I guess you can all it a collar.. Flaming river is probably the best place to find one, but it gets rid of the rag joint. (it will come as a universal joint instead of a flat piece of rubber) I got mine from a car at the junkyard... I searched for a 74-78...

    Headers!!!!

    I actually prefer the hedman headers because of the ease of installation. the left side comes in 3 pieces with slip joints and the right side comes in 2 pieces. The only change i made is to take the front right side piece and cut the 90 degree bend that goes under the crossmember and install...
