If there is anything worth using, I'll offer it up on here. As it stands, everything has been seized and isn't coming off whole. The smog tubes on the manifolds did not want to come out. I had to use unconventional methods to remove them. They're trash. The previous owner had removed the smog...- C30vet

I'm actually at QHHS and I completely understand about the political garbage. I'm there too. Sometimes wondering if I should do something else. When did you get out and start attending AVC?- C30vet

I know the feeling. I too joined the army to get out, went to hot and dusty Afghan. But I ended up coming back because my wifes family doesn't travel, we were in Colorado, and shes real close with them. So we decided to come back. Now I teach at the high school I graduated from, and drive only a...- C30vet
