Hey
Just as a side note, it is recommended to NOT use "home made CD's in these units. Dimensionally they just don't function as a professionally made CD does.

Hey
Replaced the shift linkage bushings out back. Just in time. There was no bushing there at all. It was just a matter of time. Lucky me : )
I ordered the bushing for the front.

I'm in the home stretch of replacing the starter in my V. Hope that is not your ultimate predicament, though understandably the replacement in the standard X is easier. Let me tell you, I give the boys at GM an "F" for design of starter placement. Under the manifold??? Really...

Hey

Bill
Needs an engine AND has top control issues ?? Are you sure it wouldn't be a better route to try and find a newer model with no major issues ? ? . I sense possible money pit.
