    how can u tell u joints are bad???

    It's easy. Use a bench vise and some sockets, and a pair of internal snap ring plyers. If you are removing / installing U-joints with grease fittings, just be aware of the position of the fitting so that it's accessable when the new one is installed.

    "performance balancers"

    I've heard that the fluid balancers can leak, but don't know personally. I've seen 2 stock balancers come apart at high RPM at the track--not pretty. Whichever balancer you use, be sure to give it to the machinist doing the balancing of the lower rotating assy, also the flywheel.

    Holley wiring

    There probably will be many opinions here, but I always run it to the "S" stator post on the alternator. That way there is not 12v powering the choke except when the engine is running, and not just when the key is on. The stator will only provide about 9 1/2 volts, which usually is plenty to...

    Looks like I have no choice but to go AFR now

    I would be happier with the AFRs if it was me. Good move. The last set of RPMs I ordered were cut like crap. They were seating all the way on the tips of the faces right next to the margins, with a straight cut seat. Had to correct that prior to install.

    new squeaky poly bushings!any help?

    The right way is to diassemble them again,(not really a big deal), and grease them liberally with a di-electric lube.(I'm sure there's another brand name for it someone will mention. It's got a consistency like vaseline).

    Headers??

    One difference is that the Super Comps hang lower to the ground at the collectors. Personally, I prefer the Comps primarily for this reason if it's a street car.

    Any experience with Randy's Ring and Pinion?

    That's a good idea. Talk to someone at Brad's and get an impression. No worries. I'll need to drive by and meet the folks at Brad's some day. Lots of people seem to like them. I suppose Finding a mechanic that you're comfortable with can be tough at times. Alot of good ones get you in and out...
