    87 stalling when going into gear (auto)

    My car developed a miss. So after all the plug, plug wire check and compression check, realized it had to be something under the valve cover. Sure enough, broken valve spring.

    header help...

    Im looking for a new set of headers for my 94. I have Hedman equal lengths and I hate em! They burn up my clutch cables, they take up too much room, and they leak. Since my EGR and smog stuff is disconected, can I use pre-94 type headers? Or would I be better to by 94-95 type and weld shut the...

    instrument cluster swap, will it work?

    ok the instrument cluster in my 87 is in sad shape. Looks like it sat in the sun for years. The numbers are faded and cracked and just look bad. I found an 89 (85mph speedo) 4cyl at the junkyard with a perfect cluster. Can I simply swap them out? Plug and play?? Thanks!!
