Can anyone tell me where i can find those suspension systems you all mention? or just tell me where i can find them when you mention it? I do have a 4 wheel parts store close to me. And a Kragens and Pep Boys... although i'm not completely sure they sell those aftermarket systems.

As far as budget goes... I'm not cheaping out on parts, but I'm also not going to go crazy. I'm willing to get a lift kit for about $1000 max... And I have a question for those of you will a little electrical experience... I'm looking for the Back-up light switch. My reverse lights dont work and I was wondering where the switch was so i could repair or replace it (checked fuse and bulbs both fine) And yes my differential is open

Hey does anyone know if there is a clutch adjust the ment thing? Sometimes, mostly after long periods of driving the clutch won't engage properly (depressing the clutch all the way still makes the gears grind a bit)... or if anyone knows what causes this issue? If so how can I fix this?

Because of the miles on that engine I'd be hesitant but I'll stand behind the 4 banger. I've beat the crap out of mine and its still running strong with the bonus gas mileage and room to work in the engine bay. That tube is for emissions control and maintains crankcase ventilation. You should have two tubes running to the top of your valve cover... one from throttle body; this creates a vacuum to remove gases from your crankcase and reduce blow-by, and the other from your intake to provide fresh air to the crank case. This tube should have a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve on it, if that hose has been disconnected on that old of an engine I'd examine it to be sure it is working properly.

Hey guys i was told that getting a longer yoke would fix the slip yoke vibration? Or should I still get the SYE and the CV drive shaft? PLEASE help!
