Oh snap! I almost forgot. I compression tested my 88 and the front was 90-90-90 and the rear was 100-105-95. So that rules out bad compression but has anybody on here (this thread) ever had a broken smog pump bracket? because mine is broken and I am somewhat convincing myself that that is the cause, or at least assisting the cause, of my vibrating 7.

Ditto Chris, when I replaced my u-joints, the vibrations stopped. But Eric, it recently came back mildly, I was thinking that the spider bearing in the u-joint isn't totally centered. How do you make sure its centered???? Without a precision tool, all I could do was a visual.

I'll be there, Maybe with one side of LED tail lights (working on them now)
As for the driveshaft, I had bought a new one from mazdatrix, already balanced. It's great when they have everything in stock.
The stock driveshaft u-joints can't be replaced, but the aftermarket ones from mazdatrix can.
