Just send me a PM. It's $7/set, or $3.75/ea. I made a few for another jolt yellow member, but they seemed to have vanished.

The '71 Galaxie was my Mom's car, and I got it for Christmas when I was 15. Originally it had a 351 Windsor V8 2bbl but that died after 215k miles. It's been in storage the past few years, and it now has a 351M/400 with only 40k miles on it now. Next will be body work, then interior work. Just wish I had the funds to really fix it up.

I just bought a 2009 Yaris, 3 door, last week, I love it but it is so quiet that I am having a hard time finding the optimal shift points for the manual transmission. I don't have a tach, any suggestions for propper shift speeds? I am getting 35-38 mpg just driving around town and out to my farm. I bought the Yaris because I had a Toyota Starlet that I really loved, the Yaris is quite a leap from the Starlet.
