Default started a small engine bay fire.....

yep, the #6 primary is touching a plug wire and it went up a little. no real damage done. and NO, there will be no pics, this is humiliating enough. anyway.... i got bent over on the price but i got some kicka$$ wires from summit coming in the mail, should be here tomorrow i ordered from summit before 3p and paid the 25 bones extra for overnight delivery. oh well, ya live, ya learn.

not true, he would probably have to have it custom made which would cost an arm and a leg.

not really, the thing about custom fabrication..is that i have a knack for it,

give me the steel and i can make my own headers, my buddy does custom cnc cutting, and has a heavy tubing bender and a couple welders laying around, a bandsaw or 2....
