With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm going to have some days off and plan to replace:

1) Heater Core
2) Clutch Fork
3) Install a dual gauge pod in vent area
4) Brake Booster

I am writing just to confirm that all the above will benefit from removing the seats and the dash? From what I've read, it seems like replacing these four things at the same time is a good thing. Has anyone else done these together, and is there a sequence in which you would do them?

I'm also in the market for new seats. I'm six-foot-six and would like some seats that are as comfy and functional as the stock seats. I wouldn't mind a seat that will actually have a head rest for me and prevent my kneck from snapping if I have a wreck. Any ideas?

And the last thing I am doing is contacting FMS, as it appears I picked up a chinese Cobra intake, and when the motor gets on it there is a small trail of gray smoke out the tailpipes. No smoke otherwise, and the car runs smooth - so I am calling FMS to get a baffle or screen and gaskets that they have to fix it. Has anyone worked with FMS before, and if so, how was the turnaround?

On Thanksgiving, I'll be the guy at the end of the table using a shop towel for a napkin.

Have a great one guys.
