Hacked up an ebay damper puller yesterday. Allowed me to pull the supermiata damper without even pulling the sway bar.

I hate that job though. But its done. And appears to be leak free. Drove it to work today.
Going to jack it up tonight and look for more leaks, but as of now we seem to be doing ok.
I'm getting a weird misfire. Happens more often when cold, and mostly goes away when warm, but still comes back occasionally. Mostly part throttle stuff. Going to double check my plug gap, and all my spark plug wires, maybe they arent fully seated.
Log attached of misfire. Going to try and get more this afternoon. Its the little blip right before the markers, when it goes lean. Which makes me think spark. Hate **** like this.

When the fuel doesn't burn because of a spark misfire it goes lean. O2 sensor senses the amount of oxygen, and unburnt fuel appears lean on the o2 gauge.
Feels similar to other spark misfires I've had. And it was really bad the other night, I reseated my plug wires and it got better.

Same settings here.
Working on a theory. I think my spark plug boots are wrong. They are really hard to get to click in, and all of them might not be clicking.

On my coils, I need 3ms dwell to fire a 30thou gap at 38 PSI clean. To fire a 40thou gap at 38 I need 6ms dwell.
