Welcome to df!

 

thanks maxx for your quick responce ill read it thanks again oneshot

 

Nice write up. I still don't know how you managed to get in there and get some of the shots you took. Do you have garage gnomes?

 

I've only had the truck for about a year and I just replaced my cap and wires for the first time last night. Between the location of the distributor and the 100 degree temperatures we've been having I could have killed a Chrysler engineer and not felt bad about it at all.

 

I have known for years that automotive engineers HATE mechanics...... I think they stay up nights, dreaming up new ways to make our lives miserable. Things like putting 'hidden' bolts in locations where you can't see it, can't touch it, can't get a tool on it, but, in order to perform the simplest maintenance procedures, it needs to come out.........

 

Woo-hoo, check out the distributor goo-roo!

 

haha wv, y'know if I have to type out the word 'distibutor' anymore after that write up I may hang myself

Oh aubrey, there was a lot of blind firing and trial & error to get those pics haha
