if its not one thing, its another... Got my vacuum leak fixed, and then my steering column decides to break... Going to have to tear down the whole thing, and replace the lock cylinder, tighten a couple of bolts and then put the whole thing back together again.

I think that's the color I'm going to paint it.

So Just did a compression test on my engine, and got (in order from back to front) 105,105,110,105,120,105... Does that mean I probably need a new engine?
Edit: Well, I was reading, and I did not pull all the plugs, just the one I was testing... Guess I need to redo?

did some more prep work for my painting project, All the badges are off, but I need to clean up the crap glue/cement that was used by a PO to stick the side molding back on... Hoping that acetone will do the job.
