What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

I'm headed to the parts store is what I'm doing....or maybe I'll just wrap all of my hoses with duct tape? I got lucky and found this leak in the parking lot of the dollar store after I was finished shopping. I turned around and headed right back in for some duct tape, a towel, and some water.

Hope you got distilled water, or plan to flush it.

New spark plugs in the truck went fine except for one terminal that ripped out of one of the plug cables, got that fixed without too much trouble though. I also pulled out about 2 degrees of base timing as it pinged just a smidge on the first test drive; she runs like a champ now, very smooth and responsive I'm glad I did the ignition upgrade. And now the ignition system will be ready for when the time comes to swap a built 440 for the mostly-stock 360.

If anyone is looking for a multi-spark Capacitive Discharge box not made by MSD I'd recommend the Pertronix Digital HP, for $240 you get something half the size of a typical MSD box but has 3-step (burnout, launch, fatal) rev limiter and a bunch of other programmable settings like start retard and doesn't require the stupid 'pills' like MSD boxes. I believe it's also designed to be incorporated with standalone EFI systems. I've barely put any miles on it so can't say how reliable or long-lasting they are but so far I like it a lot. You can even "bench-program" the box with a typical small 9V battery it's pretty neat.
