[Shotimes] Block heater

[Timothy Wright]

I used to have a special priest just for confessing my driving sins.  He
lived/drove in Italy for 15 years.

"Bless me father I drove 95 in a school zone."

'Any children in the cross walks?'

"Nope,"

'Then no harm done.'

Mea Culpa,

He was the only best friend I had that I would NOT lend my car too.

I just hope my guardian Angel never bails.

I have a 2" St Benedict medal hanging from my rear view mirror, doubles as a
G meter.

IL Plate: IESVS

It proves I am roman rite.  ;-)

size

>    - new factory clutch, Grizzly Paw TOB, synchros and bearings in the
MTX,
> front and rear crank seals
>    - SHO Stopper Plus brakes ... Wilwood six-piston calipers and 13"
rotors
> with the new knuckles / bearings / hubs (I like these much better than the

>     - PIAA 40 series fog and driving lights ... amazing
>     - electric oil pressure gauge and voltmeter under radio
>     - Tokicos and Eibachs (the rear struts are worse than heater core in
my
> opinion, given MN rust and broken-off bolts in the knuckles)
>     - rebuilt halfshafts
>     - new fuel pump
>     - SHO Shop front STB
>     - Energy Suspension bushings all around
>     - new heater core (yes, I know these pains well - have done three
Tauri)
>     - PP y-pipe with cats
>     - Stage I cams
