thats great chris!, thanks!!! beerchug.gif smash.gif I wasn't sure how loaded up w/ cases you were ... really it is up to you .. I have to drop the engine in one sitting .. and replace the trailing arm,seemed to be easier w/o the engine in place ... then I will be driving it to peoria to swap w/ brad then bring it back . I assume that would be an entire weekend worth of fun . then I imagined A different weekend to reinstall . I bought new clutch and accl cable , belt , plugs , ground straps, vac lines .. all the stuff that is maint that will be easier out of the car . I basicly just need to set the dwell and timing once teh engine is in . so you are helping me out so yo tell me what you think and I will work around that .


but the main thing I need help with is the drop and reinstall .. anything more than that is cake !!

Hi Mike

I am sorry I cannot make it out to your place. I have found myself in a backlog of work. If there is anyway you can find a way to get it here to do it, I may be of some help. If you need any tools, please let me know. I do have a floor jack you can borrow.
