I have been trucking along with no problems, other than a pack rat. The varmit chewed through one of the plug wires, so I decided to get a new set from Jegs, with straight plug boots. I never liked the 90º plug boots on the set I got recently, the wires were too close to the exhaust manifold, found they were touching one day. Now it starts right up! Put a Rid-A-Rat light under the hood too.

Took a trip to Holbrook to get some big chunks of petrified wood. What I really wanted was to replace the '69 license plate because the sun was trashing it. Stopped at a Route 66 icon and put theirs on.
I went and looked up "Rid-A-Rat light". That thing is hilarious! It appears to work on squirrels, as well. Rat(s) did a number on the wiring under the hood of my wife's car, to the tune of $1700. I guess it work on any rat?
