I remember filling up my Subaru GL for 15 bucks. It was around 99 cents at that point. Would have been in late 93 or early 94. In April of 94 I bought my first Mustang, and haven't looked back.

What are they now, ten bucks?

And 150 minutes of your life per pack...

My Grandfather owned a store. Back in 90-92 I was working for him. Seems like they were around $1.75 to $2.25 back then, depending on if you got GPC's or the good cigs.

That's when I tried smoking. Damn, am I glad that didn't stick.

So, for the record... in order to use these gaskets, I had to grind down the lip in these areas to make them work. Like most Fel-Pro stuff, they are pretty decent quality. They are steel core too.

I like the older trucks. The older the better, really.
