Not really. At first it wasn't getting spark. I think the coil I got broke while I was installing it. I threw the stocker on and it back fired. Soooo its pretty much checking my wire routing and seeing if i can figure out why

well, i found me a set of pacesetters for like 250 shipped. my question is how well does the factory applied black paint hold up to heat? and would i be better off sanding them down, and putting the duplicolor ceramic engine enamel on them?

Header paint would probably be best. It has better heat resistance and can be baked for curing purposes.

Since it's a balmy 7 degrees outside I decided to change the oil and put in the bigger filter and git rid of the Fram and go with the Purolator. Since I cannot use the garage, yet, I ended up laying out in the snow. Amazing how warm the hands stay with 150 gram gloves when your wearing exam gloves as well. I'll have to remember that.

If you don't know(and appl to your area), Advance Auto is having a nice sale on oil and filters. $20 for the filter (up to $10) and 5 quarts of Maxlife. I should go back and get another 3 oil changes worth of supplies. Next time it'll cause me $35.

btw...Packers goanna stomp all ova the cardinals....AGAIN!
