Also thinking about a bumper spoiler at the front edge to send air over the hood rather than smacking right into the headlights and grill area.
Anyway. Bad pic.

I'm also considering spacers under the rear of the hood. Should do a few good things for airflow and cooling on these cars. Just theory now though.
Here's some of what I want to do eventually. He's getting really nice numbers. I probably won't get as good as him. I want a balance of performance and FE.

Looks great Frankenfester!
Also about the steering wheel I'm still confused...what do you mean it's not the steering wheel that's messed up? You said, "My sterring wheel is crooked" what do you mean by crooked then? Cause if it is just not lined up straight when the car is going straight then what I said about taking it off and putting it back on you can change how it lines up...

And, as recommeded by forum members, I had alignment done. The steering was perfect before the tierods were changed. I did a rough alignment based on the okd ones to get me to the place they do it. They allegedly aligned it, and the steerint wheel isnt (crooked like youre thinking) straight. it was installed properly on the column by a professional. they have my toe in and out off and when the wheel is in the correct level positron it goes to the left. that's alignment of toe in and out. nothing to do with the (steering) wheel itselfEst. 1989 "Bringing laughter and festiva awesomeness to the world since birth" banana time
