Grateful for that square hole there.
Busted that welded stud there when I upgraded my battery cables.
Put a bolt through the back with some washers to fill the square hole left there when it busted.
Who says those little ignition wrenches Craftsman puts in their wrench sets to up the count are useless?
LOL.

That hole is a life saver, glad they added it.

Upgraded my spark plug wires to Taylor 8.2mm, adjusted my grounds to work around the hood latch, and removed my cigarette lighter to prep for a USB mod.

With this build I've decided if something breaks I'll upgrade, until then I want to keep it clean with decent fuel economy.

It is almost time to replace my brake pads, might go to Power Stop Z36's for my front disc brakes.
