Don't waste your money on MSD coils, you don't need them.

I like AC Delco wires. I got the red ones. They don't come with the metal boots, but you can reuse your metal boots. Hit them with a wire wheel and they will have a cool brushed finish since they are aluminum.

You don't have to use synthetic oil, but it's better (whatever that means).

i figured out if you have a custom set-up to use both front and back steam lines to the water pump or radiator I'm having issues with dealing with steam at the moment it charges and gets hot way to way with little help from the steam adaptor.


any ideas ?
