Default I'm a happy camper

Well I just got my exhaust leak fixed today so I can finally feel the headers I installed. It drives and sounds better now. Also, Ive been playing with my timing today and she seems to like it right at 15 btdc. AND my granatelli control arms came in and I'm gonna be installing them on saturday. Are there any tricks to it or is the install pretty much easy?

yeah man watch the springs.. i almost shatterd my left hand... i was stupid.. the contorl arm bolt was stock in the hole an di was prying it out with a screw driver like a dumbass.. and i finally got it out and once it came out.. the spring unloaded and flipping smashed my hand.. i had a big bruise on it for like 2 weeks.. so be careful.

Well a friend and I installed my control arms this afternoon and it was pretty easy. They virtually eliminated the wheel hop and it just feels a lot more solid now. I'm really glad I got them.
