Blazer had been running a little rough and doing the hesitation stumble on acceleration. Swapped out my cap and rotor. Gotta say, it all but cured the stumble when I do my plugs and wires I expect it to be all gone.


pretty bad and corroded, wouldnt be surprised if its the stock cap and rotor from 1999

Been looking around for a decent roof basket for my Z and not wanting to spend a ton on a basket I decided to make my own.

Went to home depot and got some EMT electrical conduit and self tapping screws. Took me a day to put it together and paint it. I only spent 60 bucks on the supplies and had all the tools.
Everything is bolted together with self tapping hex screws and surprisingly is extremely strong and solid, was able to stand on it and put all my weight without any bending
Specs on it:
48”L x 38”W x 6.5”H 3/4 tubing for the frame and 1/2 tubing for the cross members
going to be adding some diamond plate around the corners for the look.

Looks great, but keep an eye on the folds/crushes. They will have a tendency to fracture with vibration.
