Hope so 160 bucks!

Yup, they’re not cheap!

[banzai510(hainz)]

160$ FOR THE PLUG WIRES????

Im mean its a nice cool Red color.

I was told by some one that when they put 8.5 mm its just thicker insolation but the core size is the same on wire sets, How true I don't know. Its to prevent arching across each other. Not more or bigger spark.

 

I always thought the 25$ NGK wires set were GOOD

 

 

I like that Edelbrock fuel pump . you know where it was made?

They are but shiny lures catch more fishermen than fish.

 

 

I guess the chev alternator has higher output, how could it not? I like near 90-100 amp. Stops the headlamps from flashing when the turn signal is on at idle, the heater fan is an F3 and the wiper is pounding the A pillar in the rain.

I know right, says only difference is low resistance with the ability to express Electromagnetic interface

i got the pump from O’Reillys for 60$

Just going for a polished look, planning to strip down to metal and clear coat or some kind of aluminum or metallic metal spray

Is there a reason you think steel can't be polished?

never knew you could polish steel. I assumed it would just rust

[LilDotty74]

Putting in the hours stripping and sanding is a bitch

[gene knight]

nice

[wayno]

That looks pretty good to me.

[demo243]

Those wheels look great!

[LilDotty74]

Awhooga! Yes or no?

 
before

after

[hobospyder]

yes

 

definitely yes

 

and then have a train horn as well if people don't listen to the awooga

[datzenmike]

Klaxon.

 

Polished steel will still rust. The brighter the shine the slower the rust but it will rust. Clear coat them after.

[Lockleaf]

Yes, what Mike said.  The fact that it woukd rust after doesn't prevent you from polishing it.  It just won't be permanent.  But neither is any other polishing without further protection.
