When on a gradual curve road, it would wander a little to left or right and I would have to correct it. On slower speeds it's...

Hey... So no advise for the question above? Thanks Jc

Oh yeah, forgot about it... I drained the fuel tank if the old gas on Saturday. Stuck a long hose into tank and siphoned it all out. Had about 7 gallons of fuel in there. The liquid was pretty clear. I then added fresh 5 gallons on there and it was running fine. Should I use the highest...

Oh yeah before I forget. Where on the car is the best place to jack up the car with a floor jack? At each of the 4 corners? What about jack stands... Where is the best location to put jackstands? Thanks Jc
