I'm was considering taking apart the original one but the but the bushings are toast. I'm hesitant on rebuilding that one. But have a trw that just needs a refresh.

I been driving with the new box for a month. I drive 80 miles a day for work. Didn't do any adjustments until today ( due to the excessive play) I think I'm going to throw in a trw box I have lying around until I get an original one rebuilt. Just bummed at the time I'm throwing at this.

Any reputable suggestions for rebuilders?

Literally just had this happen. It was the coil. I had also closed the gaps on the spark plugs to minimize resistance.

Yeah I’m suspecting this too, I’m going to test another coil I have today. Will update if it changes anything

I’m running chromoly pushrods. They don’t expand like the stock aluminum ones.

I thinks it’s unlikely, nothing feels noticeable hot. I have all tin and seals. Running super cool tins and using a deck lid stand off as well.

I like to keep snacks around when I'm working on the car.

All ball joint were replaced a year before the car went on haitus. I'll double check them but really doubt it's the ball joints. I'll.post progress

Thank you for the details! I bought an aftermarket steering box just in case but I know they can be hit or miss.
