Danny, I forgot to mention the lack of numbering on the wires, but I replace spark plug wires one at a time anyway and just did the side-by-side measurement method. There are two that were pretty close but the coil side boots were different I think.

...back to vacation =P

 

No Oriley's around here, but Advance had a 7 dollar rebate deal, they told me to go to their website and all I would need would be the receipt.

I had bought air filter's from both RN and AB in the past, but Amazon had the best price on WIX and I had also used their products in previous cars.

The K&N Gold Oil Filter was great as well. Really liked the built in 1 inch 6 point formed nut on the bottom of the can. Socket fits it perfectly. No need for strap wrench or struggling with rtemoving the old filters. I will definitely get more of them at their price.

I wonder why I can't get that little angle indicator for my cab. I can see if I can find one for you. Maybe Paul or Will have a used one for a good price?

The missing number bands were no problem. The wires are very well made and made in the USA.

My Discovery has never run better.

QUESTION; Did any of you see the HorsePower TV episode where they are beefing up a 2000 Tacoma? They added a Turbo run off the exhaust for a 50% HP gain, and they ditched the original air box replacing it with a cold air filter cone that they relocated into the diamond plate tool box in the bed of the pickup. After looking at my old air filter and the screwy location of our air boxes, it made me think about redoing my air feed line in a similar fashion to what they did.

 

If you are looking for a "Level-O-Meter" for your dash, go to your local travel trailer center and buy one.
It is the exact same one they use on campers to know if it is level or not, they come in various sizes, only half the price because it is for a camper and not a $$Land Rover$$.
They have self adhesive tape on the back, peel it, stick it.

 

Wow, I was askingm elsewher about plug wires...no one mentioned much about the Magna-core(sp?) but $25 for the Kingsbournes is DIRT cheap. I would question their quality. AND check their resistance. I haven't bought a set of MSD 8.5's in years, but with the loom accessories, if memory serves, they were about $100. But, they deliver, they have the lowest resistance of any wire short of solid core,at 45 ohms/ft. So, if you decide to check your wires, comopare by measuring their length, and dividing the ohm reading by the number of fett. ie 90 ohms devided by 2ft = 45 ohms/ft...
If you're into afetrmarket ignition, which I swear by, you would obviously want all that expensive ignition to get to your plugs! Don't buy cheap wires...your ignition gets dissipated as heat in the wire instead of spark in your cylinders...

I don't know about their plug wires, they'r vwery respectalbe company, however, I just don't know how they compare to the MED's, their CDI's are killer...

 

I'm running the kingsborne 8mm wires along with the champion plugs mike recommended and they're holding up quite nicely.

 

Kingsbourne wires just arrived and I measured them at 528 ohm/ft, slightly higher than their claimed 500 ohm/ft.

Their FAQ talks about connector resistance but I don't really understand if it relates to this.

 

For arbitrary comparison, the old wires are 2532 ohm/ft.

 

But then I read this and suddenly feel like someone asked what the best oil is...

 

Great Post!

 

Is there a tech on how to clean the MAF?
