So I went down to Lordco auto parts today and bought some NGK platinum plugs, and a shit tonne of new screws for my valve covers, this converts them so I can use a 10mm socket to tighten them now, not a freakin welfare phillips screwdriver. I took the valve covers off and looked a the cams and valves, tightened a lot of thing, most screws and even spark plugs I could loosen with my own fingers!!! There was a shit tonne of leaked oil in the valley between the valve covers so I soaked that up before taking the plugs out obvcourse.
I bought some heavy duty brake degreaser and decreased mostly eveything since the plug wires were basically taking a bath in motor oil....
I was only able to take some pics with my phone because I was restricted on time, shitty lighting also, and I don't know how to upload photos from my cell LOL
Anyway, my check engine light is off now, and I hooked my alarm back up but the car STILL cuts out at 3000 rpm, WTF.

BTW I replaced the plugs because the old ones were Autolites which I'm told are pieces of shit and they were all covered in carbon buildup. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal just to get some better plugs since I don't have any idea as to how long ago those autolites were put in.

The drivers seat from my 87 needs a little repair on the bottom, other than that once I clean it one more time and fix the rip it should be good if you still want it...

Great Jet-pic...
As I'm sure you're learning, these cars are complex with a LOT of potential. Just don't ghetto anything and you will have _decades_ of 'adventures' w/ it.
I betcha someone on here can tell you where to get a new floor piece for your trunk and a panel for your cancer.
TRSM is your best friend!

It's the part that you sit on lol where the front "big"" piece of fabric meets up with one of the middle pieces, the seam is ripped.

Ya, but I'm sure the harness bars are professionally made. I'd rather pay for quality, plus I don't want a 6 point

Well I'm in the same boat about money and wanting the harness bar. Here's a secret - Zankoku Performance. He sells NRG harness bars for $165! Just go to Misc. Vendors and check out his first or second posting! Hope this helps!

$100 is perfect :-D
Let me know exactly what you need and I can cut it out for you, or you could come here and do it yourself so you get what you want.

Actualy, if you come do it yourself you only gotta pay $80... sound good?

I recently tried replacing the afm with one from another guy around here but I still got code 31 an my car still runs like crap. I think I am going to be checking the wiring for the afm because I found rat shit on my valve covers, I think the little bastards have been eating what they're not supposed to.
