I can be very tight with a buck when it comes to working on my cars. I worked fast food at minumum wage for a few years in high school and scrimped to keep cars on the road. The junkyard is the first thing that pops in my head when I think about a needed part, then swap meets. Now 30 years later I have a few bucks in the bank and can buy new things but always scrounge for a cheap way to do things. I like that high end prices are being used as it gives me a high realistic amount to expect and I know if I am patient I can sometimes score parts cheaper.
I bought a remanned Cardone distributor a few days ago for about $50. but will probably be paying full price on intercooler stuff.
When I am uncomfortable fixing some things I pay up and have a pro or someone experienced do it. Exception being I want to learn to weld as there are soooo many things I need to have welded and I know it is feasible.
I check for updates on this daily :cheers:
Please keep up the good work Bill! :happy1:
