oh. well then, anyone need some trans cross member bushings? $15 for all 4.
ok back to other things... i have a timing light that i bought from autozone for cheap. my question is, its adjustable and i have no idea where im supposed to set it to, also the strobe isnt consistant. as i use it the strobe "misses" and then works, at random. should i get a non adjustable timing gun or just say fuggit and use what i got?

If I remember correctly the adj timing light works as so turn dial to what you want the timing to be then when your adj the timing it will read 0 at the balancer . Make sure that you dont have a miss with the ignition and make sure you have good connections at the batt . Good luck

oh, ok! now I know. Well yesterday I got to replace my transmission cross member with the one from gbodyparts.com. It wasnt too hard, but it was my first time and I of course didnt know what I was doing, but I figured out I needed to jack up the transmission and get the bolts out. The hardest part was cleaning up all the rust off the driveway after I pulled it out and put it on its end. it was AMAZ-Z-ZING how much rust came outa this thing! Ill get some pics of the new one in. Oh and I have the stock cross member bushings, anyone need em?

*edit*

tell me about it... i took it to the curb to leave for the mexican scrapper guy and while i had it standing up on one end i slammed it on the street a few time and a HUGE pile of rust fell outa every hole.

well this week i planned on getting my elky to my buddys shop, but instead i had to get new lower control arms on my saturn because the ball joint was almost nonexistant. and then i had to get new tires mounted aswell. so for 2 new lower control arms and 2 new tires and mount and balance cost me like 550 bucks. dammit. and now i have 2 week to get the elky on the road. so that means registration, plate stickers, and i wanna get classic car plates so i dont have to get plate stickers every year but every 4 years. i went on the internet and was playing around with classic car vanity plates and i came up with this:
