Thank you guys for helping me out,turns out motor wise she is stable,it was actually a combination of things,but the worst was I was sucking oil thru the pvc valve,she is now running in tip top shape BUT,I lost the exhaust after the "catastrophe" convertor and now she sounds like a tractor sort of at low rpms,and now I wanna hop it up but a turbo swap is not in the future and i want to stay all motor,what would be some suggestions on common junkyard stuff i could look for to swap in,I have heard about a ranger manifold but is that better than a header,I will be porting it all out as soon as i can but how else can I make it better and cheap?

Supposedly the ranger header will bolt up to the stock exhaust. People also use one from an aerostar ut its like a mid length header. So it would take a custon exhaust.

YES! I am definitely going with da gas! I was also looking at co2 kits to maybe pull a couple of ponies out,but it seems like when I do good sumthin else happens, I hooked my stereo up and it worked for awhile then all of a sudden it quit playing sound,I dunno if i fried it or what,I thought I had it hooked up right my stereo has 3 wires for power
black=ground red=accessory and yellow=accessory

i hooked up the ground to the ground in what use to be the harness and the red accessory wire to the green and black 12v source and then tied the yellow battery wire into the cigar lighter because i couldnt find another constant source

Did I hook it up wrong unknowingly blowing the head unit?
Could I even fix the head unit

I got a call one day that a guy left his bottle heater and it didn't switch itself off. He went in to get some lunch and his 69 'maro blew up sitting in the garage. I can assure you the thing in the movie wasn't even close. If you took a saw and cut the car length ways and rolled the metal downwards to the sides it would be accurate. Horrible day for him....

This might sound dumb, but did you check to see if you blew a fuse for the stereo?

does it still turn on?...As mentioned already could be a fuse. The fuse would be a lot weaker link than the components. Check the simple stuff.

Try turning the knob that says "VOLUME" clockwise. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss on this one.
