That distributor just confused the hell out of me. But, whatever floats your boat, Sean xD I guess it improves your welding skills.

Made it hornier Uhh uhh I mean changed out the horns for new "Interstate Blaster" "Maximum sound" horns. Very under impressed. Probably a step back. The high tone is stronger, low tone, not so much. About the same really. Gonna put my old ones on the Honda to sell I almost put my air horn set on the F-150 but... Its the set that has the small compressor the short beep sound more like a sneeze. I want to get a dixie horn. Yeah. I used to have one on my Ranger.

Does the muffler itself literally explode?

Had a CEL for the EGR so I finally got a chance to clean it...a whole bottle of carb cleaner later and some brushing and the CEL is gone within 2 minutes of driving and has yet to return

Is there a way to shield or seal the distributor against something like that....?
