Hmmm....my last message didn't come through.

I will check and see if I can get them shipped UPS Collect to my Company. 
Give me a couple days and I'll try to make it happen.

Unfortunate thing, though, is I was on the highway Saturday, and a cloud of 
smoke came from under the car and it started overheating. i got off the 
highyway and drove for another 40 miles with NO PROBLEM.

Later I got back on the highway, went 25 miles and when I parked it was 
starting to overheat again. I went home on the back raod without any 
problems.

The coolant is good, the oil does not have antifreeze in it...?!?!?!
The only thing I can think  is that the PCV clogged and built up enough 
pressure to spray oil out of the Valve cover gasket onto the Exhaust header.

The car ran fine all the rest of the weekend.

But I'm still going to look into UPS'ing those springs..

They WILL fit on an '88 Sport Roof...right?
