79 brakes suck
 

so i finally got around to changing my front pads... just in the nick of time might i add.. and damn are the calipers a bitch.. first off someone painted them yellow.. which is gay,.... and i believe they are supposed to slide somewhat.. so that made it so it doesnt slide at all.. second who the hell designed the bottom caliper bolt? i had to unbolt the lower control arm so i could get at the damn bolt.. so anyways.. i just thought i would rant...

oh and i changed my fuel filter.. and damn what a difference.. i didnt believe everyone .. but i am a changed man.. everyone needs to go out and change that bad boy right now...

and i also added some lucas oil.... my car feels like new.. next week its plugs wires and new air filter..

lucas might have been a bad idea..

but yes, i also hate the hell out of that lower caliper bracket bolt.

i didn't have to remove anything..i managed to get them out, and when i did i shortened them a bit for easier access.

i have read nothing but good things about the lucas.. especially with high miles and oil seals starting to go..

What kind of difference did you see when you changed the fuel fileter? I KNOW I need to change mine (and I will soon), but I was just qurious what difference you noticed. Do you think it would help with gas milage?

well first thing i noticed is it started up nicer and idled alot better.. seems to have more throttle response now also.. just more fluid or movement.. no more sputtering. and its like a 2 second change out... so go do it tomorrow... the filter is like $2
