Bunch of random OBS and NBS parts! Interior parts, center caps, and more
Is that bowtie still available? If so, is it cracked? I can't find a replacement anywhere that isn't black or chrome.- Backpressure

$60 for plug wires that end up being junk. It can't be that hard to make an insulated copper wire. As far as routing goes, I just stick them all in the clips mounted on the valve covers that hold the plug wires.

Hey everyone, Been lurking here for about 6 months and decided to join so I can ask this question. I did search the forums and came up with nothing that matches my issue. 1996 4.3L Vortec C1500 140k miles. About 2 weeks ago, I replaced my cap and rotor, plugs, and wires to fix a miss...- Backpressure
