1. Do NOT use spark plug cables longer then what you need. The extra resistance due to the length of the cable plays tricks with your spark.

2. Do NOT use those d*mned exotic spark plugs (i.e. those Bosch plugs with multiple contacts).

3. Lucas is nifty stuffs. It seems to have made a difference with my injectors (TBI); just felt a little bit smoother, so I think it's helped.

4. If you have the skill, you can make a replacement trunk-lid-light with a heat gun, a kit of those lense fixing plastic plates, and a little bit of elbow grease.

Learning all of this and being able to do a lot of this yourself feels really good. :)
