Old Skool Lover n myself changed plugs, wires, distro cap, and rotor (he did majority of the work - BIG THANKS!!!!!!!!!!) today. froze my hands and *** off - so did he - for it too BUT i'm now running about 19.3mpg for the same speed on the highway 
Major win in my eyes. not to mention in about 2 mths time it'll have paid for itself. Who woulda thought that replacing the plugs with the SAME NGK G-Force platinum plugs would do that significant of a change in fuel economy! they were deff worn tho, Chris used his gap check and they were about a .60 or so when they should be .55 - couple were flakey, 2 were a real pain to get out and neither was actually plug 3! one even had some nasty corrosion on the ground prong....
All in all, i learned quite a bit! never had to deal with a rotor or distro cap in any of my vehicles, i also misinterpreted the whole process and assumed i needed to do the Distro timing steps when in reality i didn't. BIG THANKS again to you chris for everything! plus my baby now has that pickup off the line it should have had all this time.

He's a pretty good guy eh? Probably headin down there in a week or so for my Y-Pipe install and Maybe the same as you (minus cap, cuz we did that about a month ago troubleshooting my problem)
As for me, Just alot of gas in the last few days. 3 full tanks since Thursday.

i know what your original plans were for saving $$$ on getting a new one, but if you're fixing the body, like i've seen in a few of your other posts, then maybe it's worth the $170 for a new one. or you could try roughing up the surface better, but if it won't stick (which i can't really see why it wouldn't) then you've dropped close to the cost of a replacement already, and still don't have a good looking dash pad.

just give me a few days notice about your y-pipe. i'll make sure it's in stock & delivered for when we need.
me?...............well....i gave he a much needed rinse today.
and luckly, i got most of the water off it before it decided to freeze. wind chill was something like -20*C this morning.

We got about 9+ inches.. it was insane I just drove around all day looking for people to pull out. Had fun but tired of the cold. Cant wait for summer, then I get to start the motor swap!

Haha your lucky... I have a 31 gallon tank... takes more well over $130 to fill...and you get better gas mileage...I'd rather pay $61 dollars and know I have a full tank than pay $61 dollars and only have a half! =) Be happy!
