anyone in So Cal have a welder?
Hey, I need to weld a couple of hangers on to my exhaust, and get it mounted permenantly, as It's hung with heavy duty zip ties at the moment. I also need to get the WG dump tube on, but that I can figure out myself. Anyone in so cal with the ability to help, exhaust shops want like 150 to finalize what should be about 15 minutes of work. I geuss if I can't find a rennlister to help, I'll have to do it.

$150? try a welding shop... like Ajax's in Reseda...
or a trailer hitch shop (as in hitchmasters, there's one near you i think). they can do nice work, and a hell of a lot cheaper than $150. I was a welder/fabricator working my way through college... can try asking guys at the shops if they want to do it after hours, too... i used to do little jobs like that for cash prices... generally enough to buy myself some beer and a burger...

Jeff,
its working pretty well. I still need the OPRV to arrive, the rebuild guy is taking forever, though for now the oil pressure seams to be cooperating. the boosting issue was due to a bad coil, so i replaced it with an MSD blaster 2 coil, and replaced that wire. ( I made it) So I plan on making my plug wires too, since they can use changing. So now it boosts, but coming on boost isn't that smooth, since i think theres a vacuum leak, a small one. I'm about to pay myswiss for some more vacuum hosing and the diverter valve 90* bend which should have pretty much EVERY part of my vacuum replaced. If that doesn't fix it, I'll reseal the throtle body, if that doesn't fix it, I'll post.
