EDIT: Another question may be: Do I need a set for a '99 or an '03, or are they the same? (They seem to be different at the FelPro site.)
Rock Auto does, indeed, show two different sets:

1999 - FEL-PRO MS98008T - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...5424&jsn=11161
2003 - FEL-PRO MS98008T3 - https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=5424&jsn=992

It looks, though, like the upper gasket set is the same, and because the plenum is bigger on the '99, that this gasket is different. Since mine is still intact, I can probably save a few bucks and go with the 2003 set?

EDIT: After thinking on this a few and pulling the '99 intake out from under the cover, I'm probably going to go with the '99 gasket set. I may want to pull the lower plenum off to clean up the intake. It's been setting a long time and is pretty oxidized.

Those are handy. Haven't heard them referred to as "ring pliers".. ..a southern thing I expect.

Bluepoint use to have a nice set as well, beefy. Not too costly..if you purchase them anywhere but Snap-on truck.

Looks like they have in sets of three now vs two way back when.

Have one Matco, Green handle..think it's 3/4". No idea where it came from...calling it mine anyway. Perfect fit for a garden hose... the 3/4 gets frequent use in the warmer months.

Had the Honda Trike show up @ 10:30 am when it was only 26 degrees.
It's being dropped off for service and new rear tires.
I asked him if he wanted a pair of studded winter tires. lol

Brrrr, that's chilly! When I was stationed in Minot, at least I waited until the temps broke freezing before getting my Nighthawk out!

Those taillights look like Civic and Accord. Am I right?

I've also used them for fuel line clips. Kind of has to be a perfect scenario for the size and style, but just thought I'd add that to the list.

After reading White's 3D printer stuff (and video) I thought what would I really do with one?

Now I know.
