I'm about to install 3.55 gears and possibly an ATS turbo on my '89 IDI. Before I do this, I want to test the oil and coolant to make sure I'm not throwing money at a time bomb. Where do I send the samples? I thought maybe there was a kit to buy with test strips? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You can get test strips for coolant SCA levels and freeze point at Napa or IH dealers single packs.......
As for the oil we here at TDS always used Blackstone labs, just call them and they will forward a "Bottle" with an info sheet. They did offer a few cents off to TDS members so pose that question when conversing with them.
