New page

Well since my motor is out I have decided to do more than just have it rebuild and drop it back in to a dirty engine bay. What I am doing is moving all the wiring out of the way and cleaning all the grime and the little rust there is so I can repaint. After I spray some light paint I am going to fix up the wiring and re-cover it with new friction tape.
