you should sand the top of the valve covers like doctorD did they look sick. keep up the good work. wondering why you went with an open air filter, aftermarket hood? ive gotta run to class ill probably read the whole build log later, im doing an 85 now
when u get something for free, u dont think about it TO much.. plus the open air filter looks WAY better than the stock setup

before you go and buy some calipers, why dont you just try and grease up the sliders. after time they like to start to seize up. its worth a try before spending more money
wat part is that?
the little pins that have the rubber boot on them. just pull that apart and grease em up. just make sure that you dont tear up the boot
