Youfoud a return line on the muscle cars from near thefuel pump to prevent vapor lock I got 3/8 lines from a b Bpdy and used the stock 5/16 line forthe return stock had a canister but use the fuel filter mentioned above

well knon that the specs in the book are .001off for the #3 i had atoolfor that but you can make a reamer out of a straight old cam just kut some groves in #3 square put in while rotating and it will clearance #3 you can then use dykem and a bearing scraper me x factory zone rep

I always carried a station wagon jack, they are taller

transgo reprogramming kit, level 2 (tow) for heavy car you will also get their tech line good ideas above, start by adjusting kickdown, use atf plus 4 (change it TWICE unless your converter has a drain) adjust bands while pan off

use the larger late model torsion bars, especially with radial tires, wider 15 inch wheels, make it handel you can use a cordoba rear sway AFTER you source the bigger t bars
