..3rd Times A Charm..

honestly man Im sure everyone has told you this but save your money and dont go cheap when buying air ride shit, that old setup i had what cheap and shitty as hell.

for sure, do it right the first time.

i guess im just in denial because i think all this air ride stuff is way to expensive for what it is.

well I got the intake on last night, just gotta put the throttle linkage back on and all the other misc stuff, should be about 30 mins worth of work and I will see if it starts up. Im pretty damn sure it will I wouldnt see why not, The fun part is buying the $9 anti-freeze and oil and stuff.

good progress, good job on the pics too.

ahhhh long time no update, well I Got the intake back on and new gaskets on. I got the new valve cover gasket on. Oil is back in and Antifreeze will go back in once I get a new stud for my exhaust, which bring me to that note. Im redoing it all.

Would the 500 degree engine paint work for painting my exhaust, im not talking about directly by the header but under the cab, I dont want it to rust out or anything so im curious.

it always burns off...a friend of mine was tellin me they make a roll on heat paint for headers and exhaust, his motor man used it on a mustang he built and he said its held up perfect..

Well not much of an update, got oil in. Cant put antifreeze in because a stud came out of my exhaust and antifreeze comes out of it so I will put some in once I get a new stud. But I still cant start it without and exhaust, my header that was on my truck before looks like shit and it just really bugs the piss outta me knowing it looks nasty, so ima go to the local yard and snatch one off of the 4 pre 84 mazdas

does any of those pre 84 mazda's have the steering column trim, and also what stud came out because i was looking at mine the other day and while its running there is a slow drip up by the alt. somewhere.

I dont believe so man.

The stud is the one farthest one away by the firewall on the bottom.


Well Im about to head to work after I get off ima go home and put some tranny oil in it, put the driveshaft in and go to sleep, then bright and early im going and getting a damn exhaust header.
