Drove it home tonite
Mainly concentrating on driving with the new front discs
Feels VERY weird but I've heard there's a break in period with new disc brakes
Will post pics of the engine tomorrow
EDIT: I moved this to it's own thread,Chuck

thats awesome ya got to drive it...as for disc, no real "breakin period"...its more like seating your brake pads. so that the pads start doing what they are designed to do.
couple easy to moderate braking, then follow up with lil more/harder braking each time....of coarse letting it completely cool be tween hard braking. thats what ya generally do.

so we dont, clutter this thread and can focus on the issues

Well it's simple alright
My old 60 amp alternator couldn't juice the new halogens, radio, and interior lights driving in this morning at 530
Hopefully have a new one tomorrow
