2.3L ('83-'97) Keeps cranking

Good point. If you have a leaky exhaust and replace that part of it, if the other parts aren't pretty new, it'll just find the next weakest place and break there once the bad part is behaving to strength. Kind of gotta do the whole system in these type situations to have it really fixed.

Seems like even though parts can run up, usually it's not that much compared to the time spent on it. If you can do it yourself that's where you save a ton plus you know wtf was actually done.

Well, it's all new now and I have a lot of spare parts. I don't know about the expert part. After I put the distributor in, it still would not start and then I realized I forgot to plug in the leads. I can laugh about it now.

At least you know why you have parts left after you got it back together.
