I thought that only happened if you tie/short string the FD to tight and they can't sway?

you can rent a compression tester from oreilly's autoparts. you have to put it on a credit card like you're buying it, then you get a full reversal when you return it.

if you do decide to buy one, the actron's are $30-40 on amazon.

I thought getting off topic and having some fun is what make's DF so great? Am I wrong? We always get back on topic and the OP is always happy to have the truck fixed.

I would probably fall over dead if a thread actually stayed on topic all the way thru. I don't recall that EVER actually happening. I think it is an unwritten rule here...... No thread my go thru its entire useful life without at least three off-topic responses. I don't recall seeing that one in the mods section though.

Funny story with the 360 engine. I replaced it 4 times for various problems resulting in blown motor in each one. I bought all 4 with less than 150k miles on them and well they lasted bout 2k miles, okay okay i beat the **** out of them. in my other truck before i traded it in for a plasticmobile which is currently down right now because of the stupid passlock security system... stupid... I would love a lift and rims i am looking at now, Does anyone know where i can get my truck painted nicely round minnesota?

What would you guys suggest on the headers?
Exhaust system?

And how hard is it to replace a 318 from a 360? I have looked at threads too.
