Sent a guy a message about a 04 throttle cable. TPS is ordered.
Found a 95 GT for parts, no engine or trans, $500. I mainly want it for the 8.8 and the black interior.
NGK or Autolite plugs? I had NGK TR55GP's and they only lasted 4 months, so Im a little hesitant about NGK.

So I got my alignment today and I was helping him do it. We adjusted the C/C plates as much as we can and we couldnt get the right camber.
Driver side is set at -1.2* and passenger is at -1.8*. Driver side is on borderline spec(-1.3* is where the green area starts). Passenger is obvious out of spec, even after fully adjusting the C/C plates.
So what he said to do was take the top and bottom plate off, lengthen the stock camber slots(only like 1/16-1/4") and then install the plates and adjust.

axle removal started. Pics to come later.
ran into a problem... lower control arm bolts are rusted to the sleeve on the inside of the bushing. 10lb sledge + wd40 =/= bolt out. getting pretty frustrated.

Progress:
I HATE rusty/seized bolts.
Teaser:
I put the backing plates in an acid solution to remove the rust, so Im basically done while those soak and the LCA bolts soak in weasel ****. Tweaking my exhaust a bit since it hit the axle on certain bumps before.
