    Noise with New Front End Parts

    Alignment shop will diagnose this for you without guesswork. You can then decide whether to have them do it or not. Firestone will do it for free and give you a printout of parts needed that you can take with you to NAPA.

    SURPRISE! piece of piston in my oil pan

    2 vacuum advance hose connections on a 289?
