Default Christmas List

Well i know its really early but i usually put this off till the last minute so im starting my list early this year. I know i am going to ask for stuff for my stang but im not sure what. So i need help thinking about what to ask for. It needs to be like $150 or less and something i can put on myself. Im thinking maybe some shorty headers. Anyone got any ideas for me?

You could do a fairly decent tune-up with that amount, you know replace the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve, etc. might have some left over for a blaster coil too.

How much is a fuel filter and pcv valve? I dont think theyve ever been replaced on mine. But i do have a new cap, rotor, wires, and air filter...also i dont have many mods yet, should i consider a fuel pressure regulator or air fuel gauge at all?

I would invest in a good mechanical oil pressure gauge like an Autometer Sport Comp and a good electrical temperature gauge too before I did much else so you can know better what's going on than with the stock factory idiot gauges.

Yeah im thinking about getting some replacement gauges. But do you think i should get an A pillar gauge pod or something on the dash like this - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting ... Also, would i benifit from a new cam? I know the 93s have a toned down cam. I probly wont be able to buy anything for a while so should i get a cam now?
