Search. There is plenty of info on suspension. And what kind of wheels do YOU want? It doesn't matter what we want for your car. You bought it.

Might want to double check that. If it wasn't missing before then you did something wrong.

i never took the wires off the distributor and it was all fine a week ago..i just bought the car..and it was fine the first few times i drove it..then seems like the hotter it gets the shittier it runs..cause the wires can only go in one way longest to shortes.. they wont go any other way if i havent took them off the dis. someone told me i could have a stopped up cat.. but idk.. i drive it and seriously it looses power and sounds like a lawnmower..but no really when i barley give it gas..but as soon as i give it more than a touch of gas it seems like it putters out ..the sound of it makes it seem like one of the spark plug wires is off..but they aint off

Try putting different plugs in it like I said, maybe you got a defective spark plug?
