Cam covers look great Leo!

Now it's time to replace those rusting manifolds.

FYI-If you call DTV and tell them you change they're mind they'll through some pretty good freebies your way. For example last year I got the superfan addon and a HD DVR for free.

It's time to change the fuel filter at 25K and was going to just buy one from the Ford dealer till I saw this. Thoughts opinions?

BTW-The Steeda one actually costs less.

Jed-What was the website that sells the FRRP oil filters individually?

I really like the look of them, They're chrome without being over the top, IMO.

No, they "prefer" that they're installed by 281 but they don't have to be.

THAT'S our fuel filter. It doesn't look much different from the one off a 78 Caprice

+1 on the FRPP filter info, time for me to change mine again.

Well, I ordered my Rotors and pads from Rotor pros (custom pattern and color) and I just need to find someplace to hang them on the car. I am more than capable of doing the install, I just need a place to work. Is there somewhere I can rent a bay for a few hours or a shop that will install them for a reasonable price anywhere near Orange County?

When ?

I think it'd be OK to use Dad's place. Since it's just rotors it should be fairly simple and fast, right ?

Yeah rotors should only take a couple 2-3 hours max. It's just removing the tire, getting the caliper out of the way, and swapping the rotors.

Yeah, I like the cam covers.
My manifolds have a spot of rust on them too.

Should I replace them yet? It's been over 2 years.

Yeah, it's really a piece of cake. It will take longer to get the wheels off than swap pads and rotors....I just have to pick up a rear caliper tool and a floor jack. (Most of my tools are still in the bay area)

If you're sure it's okay we can PM the details....

What did they charge you to install 4 rotors and pads?

If it's reasonable enough I don't mind paying for it since I won't have to get dirty or put poor Mr. Hamm out getting it done....plus I wont have to buy a jack and a caliper tool....

I hate not having my shop anymore....tough to get even simple things done....

Great! Maybe Jed's Garage can install UDP's and lowering springs!

btw, UDP's are ready for you. Ultralites, not yet.

I believe Jed only charges beer and food.
