I hate plug wires. It's what drove me to do the COP conversion on the last car. Hell, I may even do it on this car. Just not now, or anytime in the immediate future.
Because - I HAAAAAATE my garage now. I have absolutely no room for anything. I cant move around the car without having to do a sideways shimmy. Pretty soon I'm going to start on the shop, and then it's game on.

But to your point, I'll refrain from posting any under hood shots until I can R/R.

I have a nice explorer plate, I don't have the screws. It's on the list, it bugs me not having one!

Anybody that spends 11.00 for screws, then another 10 for shipping needs to have the screw in their head tightened.

I'm sure that yours are a much more higher tensile strength, grade 8+, micro polished, better than OEM quality kind of screw, than the rest of the screws left on the shelf though....

If I could find appropriate screws on the shelf that would be one thing. But I didn't have any in my bins and don't feel like wasting time hunting them down at a hardware store

Pretty sure my intake plaque screws came out of a license plate hardware kit (cause they where shiny)
