tomarrow morning i am going to wake up and start about 8 or so and do some work on teh car.
-change oil pan gasket
-change fuel pump and filler pipe grommit
-change cap and rotor
-possibly put in a new thermostat
-if i have time install underdrive pulleys.

i am starting early so i know i have enough time to do the gasket and pump. other will come if time permits. I dont have access to a cherry picker, but i can safely jack up the engine by the crank pulley correct? ive searched and printed off some instructions for the gasket and pump. any new advise would be great. thanks.

yes, you can jack it up on the pulley just make sure to use a block of wood, and that it's stable before you go under it. shouldn't take you more than 5 hrs, but take it slow adn double, heck, triple check everything so you dont have to come back. Good luck!:SNSign:
