My wife won't drive the truck because it's stick, and she won't drive the LeMans because it has no reverse.

Well today I installed my exhaust system. Walker y-pipe to a Dynomax "bolt in" system. 3"cat-back to twin 2.5" straight-back tailpipes. I gott say I was really leary of putting a loud exhaust on a 6-banger but it does sound pretty damned good. No cats either. Also replaced the O2 sensor and bumped the timing to 15 degrees. No pinging so I may do another degree tomorrow. I will say tho, I am not at all impressed with the fit of the kit. Sounds great, but I did a flowmaster cat-back on my brothers 98 f150 4x4 a few years ago and it fit great. This kit was a monster to get it where it is and i am still not happy with it. Will post a thread with pics tomorrow on it. Also instslled some xlt crome mirrors and and a new passenger vent window assembly. Been busy! Next up, new headlights and housings (on relays) and surrounds, and new weatherstripping around the doors.
Anybody have a good suggestion for quality weatherstripping?

Yeah... thanks for the heads up. I meant a good supplier. In my experience there's always good and then there's cheap.

I know what you meant. I would think LMC Truck has good stuff.

6" of snow on Tuesday(i think it was), melted mostly the next day. Sunday, now, 50 degrees outside, had to go wash it.

And i pulled the plugs, checked the sparks, checked the gapping. Now waiting for my 9mm Ford Racing wires to come in(and hopefully this set isn't missing the #3 wire).
