    Now that I've driven the car enough to get it fully warm - my report on the filter is it is excellent. Before my oil pressure would get down to 12 psi when fully hot, now, 33 lbs.

    back to this, first an oil change I bought this filter last year at SEMA, finally getting around to doing the oil change to do it next up, change the rear diff back to the original... I literally lost 10 mph off my top speed with the higher ratio (3.42 stock v. 3.91 currently)

    one more bite on that elephant this time, seats so the problem, mine is an 86, these are 87 seats. IMO they are so much more comfortable and supportive then the 86. Add to it that it doesn't rattle like the 86 and older... but it's not a bolt in at all... first is make adapters.... still...

    other then put the dash back in (4 screws) I have nothing really to do to be ready to run. I can even leave the rear in it... I won't because it's so simple to change - but that was kind of the deciding factor. If I can, why not?
