I replaced the cap and rotor on mine. I still have a whining sound coming from it because the distributor is lose and moves a bit. Will have to replace the whole thing eventually.

Was worth replacing the cap and rotor though, because the old one was green from corrosion.

i only came across one guy in a pickup truck in the ditch on my way home from class last night. i wanted to stop but there was a cop right there and i thought he might be in trouble for drunk driving or something so i didnt bother. i love helping others out but if there is already police involved id rather not get into it.

anyways i had my first welding class and the instructor said that after the first 4 weeks we can make our own big project instead of having to do stuff he gives us so im making my project..... drumroll please.... A NEW ROLL CAGE!!! and the shop will cover most of my material costs i think. either way they have a tubing bender and basically everything i need to put it together. i just have to have a rough sketch of what i want it to look like and i can put it together. hopefully im a good welder though.

I have seriously considered taking a welding class at the local junior college. It's something I'd love to do. Can't wait to see how your cage comes out.

Awsome decor items bumpers are!
Personally when I get this engine pulled & the connecting rods & bearings replaced I'm going to use the connecting rods as cup holders on the coffee table.
