Also, would it be a good idea to flush my heater core at the same time?

Quick question. Dark gray sooty smoke came out of the tailpipe under load at about 3/4 throttle and 4k rpm. Is this rich running? Idle has been a tad rough. 02 is barely a year old (NGK). New plugs 2 years ago. Cruising mileage is good. What do yall think?

Yep. Either one. The rest of it will probably last your lifetime.

I ripped them all the out and it stopped my buzzer from working so I assumed I was all set. Ill pull the fuse as soon as I figure out which one it is. I figured since my buzzer stopped it wasn't draining. I don't have a bulb in the dome light since the headliner was pulled so idk if there was something draining power

Default Brake lines
Front brake lines, hard-line/soft-line connection in fenderwell. Is the hard-line 'double flare' or 'bubble flare'.
Also, is the tubing 3/16" SAE, or Metric?

Thanks
