I need to order some poly fab bushings for my doubler crossmember skid. It seems everyone is using the premade ones that use the .250 wall tube and a grease zerk in the sleeve. I don't really see the point in paying the extra 5-8 bucks a bushing to get a zerk, none of the factory bushings on a truck have zerks. Especially because there will be very little movement in the bushings once installed. Thoughts?

Get the ones without a zerk and if it becomes a problem, then put a zerk on there.

f the zerk, grease it when you put it togehter and forget about it, there is plenty other crap on there that make noise

I use the chevy bushing kit from 4wheel parts. It comes with 4 bushings and only costs around $20. I use 1.75x.120 dom for the sleeve..... I can look for the part # when I get home if you are interested.

Ignition coil went out on my truck, is it worth it to spend more on a performance unit than the stock replacement unit?

I don't think so, I would get a stockish replacement.

Stock.

stock, **** msd

I got an accell that drops in the factory spot, no msd box or anything. some folks seem to like them for the common timing bump.

Depends on how good the stock unit was. I'm assuming it alright by everyone's reaction.

+1 for this

[Sparling]

It's a completely stock and somewhat tired engine so I'm going with a stock replacement. I'm not doing anything on the engine until it goes out completely and then it's probably getting a 351

x2, i did this on that blue f-150 sofia had for a while. Her dad still drives it everyday and loves it. Put in new plugs in July for him and the previous gaping had changed though, I read this is a common problem when doing the timing bump though.
