Bump the base timing up a few degrees, headers exhaust and traction bars and a valve body are good bolt-ons for a GEN 1.

I've got a 4-link in back and adjustable coilovers all around. Headers and a cat-back were the first mods done on this truck, in '94. It's been resurrected from sleeping under a tree for a number of years, and its a blast to drive. Just was curious about the forum itself, any tips on networking with all you other Gen1 drivers?
