*water pump gasket and water pump included
*throttle body
*intake mani
*new spark plugs wires
*rotor for distributor
*stater
just because this is going to be my DD and i want it to be reliable
so if u guys can let me know what u think and some inputs ,it would be

Have the key in the ignition and turn it to the second possition and ull hear the fuel pump whime witch is a "prime".... do it like 10 times

And the ground its from the tranny to the subframe... located next to the motor mount to the tranny... it should be a wire... u should have this
