^^^My A body experience is somewhat limited, but bent struts were the only steering/suspension problems I had.

There are cars with better front struts, but I haven't found any front wheelers with better rear suspension.

Yeah, if there's no rear wheelers allowed, I'd call it #3 at 106 or #2 at 105.

Yes it’s a 106” county fair show. No rear wheelers.

Yes it’s a 106” county fair show. No rear wheelers. I'd probably try to avoid going head-on with a well built Camry or Taurus. Pick apart the other 3 sides of those.

I prebent the rear, tucked and welded the trunk lid and sleeved the rear trailing arms.

Does anybody have a diagram for the firing order on a 1989 chevy celebrity with the 2.8L MPFI motor? It is distriburless. And I'm almost certain there is a plug wire crossed. Im pretty sure the back of the motor would be 1-3-5 and front 2-4-6 but the coilpacks are what I can't figure out.

They are currently 143625. The middle two are switched. I'll do some digging and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the reply.

Trying to clear out the engine bay. Is the heater core assembly on the fire wall plumbed with unusually thick hose? I’m guessing the trans cooler is integrated into the radiator? Is there a manual brake cylinder so I can dump all the abs garbage? I’m going to make a simplified harness so I can move the engine to different cars...is there any specific junk I can dump in the engine bay, it’s so cluttered and I’m not super familiar with this motor.
