Reset my odometer after I filled up and drove about 85 miles to Arkansas and was extremely happy when I checked my mpgs when I got home

Replaced my spark plugs. Haynes says .035 gap. The best one had .050, and the worst had .080. Now I'm firing on all cylinders again, I think it fixed my cylinder 1 misfire (but I need a code-reader to check), and I can spin my tires from a stop for the first time since around June. Thanks, 96xjclassic

Oh, and I'm leaving in a half hour to make a ridiculously long drive to pick up 4" leaf springs from Craigslist.

I made them, custom housings made of acrylic painted flat black and christmas light LEDs. They aren't bright enough though, I'm going to make a write up when I redesign them better and brighter.
