Well.....

I had a tranny flush done today, then I changed the oil (Mobile One 'course!) then, as I found where the PCV valve was (I could even see it!!!) and I had the car on jack stands, I decided to replace the PCV.

I should have pulled my own teeth out instead, that was, without a doubt, the worst job I ever did on any Motor bar none. As a result of pulling almost everything off the front of the engine I discovered a huge crack in the exhaust manifold between number two & three cylinders (need a joy gremlin with a sarcastic look on it's face here!) Could be that this where my power loss is at!!!

So I'm in the shop next week for some welding apparently, my local shop says they have a lot of success with this route (I have considered a header, but opted not to).

Thanks for your input Kremit (BTW is that a typo-Kermit?)
