    removing ABS

    Actually, it works very well, but your braking distance is dependant on you TIRES more than anything. More than likely you would have wrecked anyway, stop blaiming the car you sound like all the people that hate on the 7M for getting rodknock.

    My old truck looked like that and I got $2500 out of it after buying it for $1000 8 years before. DEFINATELY worth the money.

    removing ABS

    Many plugs come with the grease already on the threads.

    boost gauge voltage?

    Take alcohol, rub it on your skin, and now tell me if that area is colder or warmer... Anyway, you could use a simple pressure switch that turns on at a certain PSI (it's how old school tuning was done with extra injectors and such)

    Because they have IRS... Ford seriously fucked up with the GT500 with staying solid rear... The 3rd and 4th gen f-bodies CAN handle pretty damn well. 3rd gens are lighter than our cars, and can dial in huge amounts of camber up front. 4th gens have a suspension setup in front just like...

    headlight control wand

    The very end of the stalk has a cap inset into it, it's a complete bitch to get out without breaking it, let alone marking it up. Once it's off you can tighten the screw or take it out and try and fix the detent (click) mechanism...

    Suspension Rattles! !!!!

    No, there isn't supposed to be a spacer under the nut on the shock... Yes you'll need a realignment after getting springs, but you may have to do it a few times as they settle.

    Vacuum lines popping off at 15psi. Which ones can I remove?

    Not a fan of silicone vacuum hoses at all myself... There aren't any advantages to them other than them being colored.
