Did that test pipe come off to replace the cat?

Count me in for a few!

Well, let's hope it's legitimate. Just got some bushings for the shifter. It didn't ask me for my credit card info but I did sign into the site using my Google account. Which was probably a bad move.

Wish me luck. Haha.

I ruined all of the female type ones in the door for the rub strips. I ended up using small circular black rubber gromets from harbor freight. I don't think you'll be able to find any of those oem ones.

I took the fuel pump (looks after market), tvsv and the distributor with vac advance. It had the stock carb, all the a/c stuff, a good ...

I'm thinking I just need to buy this ebay one for now then to get me by until I can find some poly bushings somewhere else. This looks like the correct one...

Posting here as to not start a new thread:

Where can I find the rack mount bushings? I've got some slop in the steering and seen firsthand thst my rack is moving before the wheels do. I remember the one bushing is a perfect circle and the other is more "D" shaped.

I would like to find a set if ...
