92tanMJ Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Look at that prettiness! So I got it all back together and it ran pretty good actually. I thought. And sounds better than with the stock headers. I can see why people get nice headers, this one was a 200 buck one from autozone and man does it sound better than factory! Glad to fnally have this baby running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sorry for the delay on what happened wgen i adjusted my parking brake. I replaced the rear cables and brakes, adjusted greatly, and it still flies up and hits my hand hard. Has anyone found a solution to such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use youre pointer finger and tumb to make a C shape and pull outward with your palm facing the floor. :dunno: Thats the only thing I have come up with. I'm just tring to get my motor to run. lol I will every tues/thursday off from work because of summer school. So here in the next few weeks I will take it apart and see what the issue is.
