        Friend owns a transmission shop. She got the full Monty treatment. TV grommet looks good but is aging.
        I saw somewhere on here that you guys found a brass/bronze bushing to fit.
        How does a newbie get his hands on one of those puppies..?
        She's getting the cooling system flush and a new stat next week, then she's going to another friends exhaust shop.
        Cat back 2-1/4 with an X pipe and Stainless magnaflows for now.
        Eventually I'm going to remove the cats, air pump, and save them.
        How am I going to keep this computer from going apeshit..?
        By the way.
        I love this car.

            Computer won’t care much about missing smog pump (you’ll get a code but doesn’t affect running), and it doesn’t care at all about missing cats. The SEFI cars smell pretty funky with no cats.

              Search ebay for AOD TV bushing is one source where I got mine.

                  I think you're about 1500 lb over curb weight there. That sounds like GVWR, which is curb + max load.

                    I think I'm going to leave it alone. It runs so good, and is so original I might feel guilty. When this engine pukes, I'll probably go to a 351 based stroker of stupid unnecessary size. The thought of a factory looking 331 under pressure is VERY appealing too.

                        A friend has a set of AFR 165s with 3 passes on them. Deal of the century for me.
                        Soo... Might get them and toss them on the shelf for now.
                        Now comes the big decision.
                        Leave Sherrie alone or pinch her butt a little for more power.
