Throwing Away Some Money

[Mentat]

Time for me to toss some cash at the car. It has developed some lifter noise and I figure it can use some general freshening. Look at this list of parts and see if I'm forgetting anything. I'm trying to stay under 2k for parts.

Don't waste your money on the Accel TFI module and fancy-schmancy coil. You won't gain anything from them, period. The OEM stuff works fine for 99% of folks ... unless you simply MUST buy "performance" EVERYTHING just to have all those name-brand parts underhood.

Only reason I went with the Accel coil was because 50Resto's no-name brand is only $10 less.
