Sounds good to me.

Thanks!

That's a good deal, can't beat the buy 3 get 1 free.

Nice to meet ya man.

But let's try to stay on topic... lol

 

Installed the following tonight,

-Spark Plugs (NGK)
-Cap
-Rotor
-Plug wires but ended up using the ones that were on the truck already because the new ones had too long of a boot
-Drivers side upper ball joint (Passenger side has a new one)
-Drivers side lower ball joint (Passenger side has a new one)

 

Sound like you had a busy night. What cap & rotor you go with? Let us know how those NGKs are.Gotta get knew ones for my 86. Might go with E3, if wife wont kill me for spending that much on plugs Haha. Btw i'm Dan

 

haha nice to meet u both, hopefully start useing this site more and more but anyways yes back to topic lol, i have the NGKs on my 87 and honestly, there not to bad but thye could be loads better, id do e3 next tune up for sure!

 

Nice truck, keep the pics coming

 

It was the Denso cap and rotor. Nice to meet ya Dan.

Ehh the regular NGK's were good enough for me lol

I'll get more pics ASAP!

 

I just put on new oem from dealer spark plugs, cap, rotor and wires on my 93....Quality is top notch....

 

NOOOOOOO! lol.... OH, wait, ... 'Nice to meet ya, Dan!'... Ok, now, where was I? Oh yeah, ...NOOOOOOOOOO! lol... JK, but seriously? Trust almost every Guru out there, ... "OEM, PERIOD!"

SWEET! Oh, ... and nice to meet you, Josh! lol.

Nice work! Way to KILL IT! (proverbially, OF COURSE! lol)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! lol... Denso or NGK, ....they are designed for the 'BEST' precision and PLENTY hot spark! My last set lasted 100K and I'll show you a pic if you want... they STILL look good and it ran like a champ(before it started falling apart in other arenas, last year! hehe)

HURRY UP!!!!!! lol. Oh, and saw the same truck with the same cover, etc., ...TEENY bit of lift, 33x10.50's on Outlaw 2's, today.... HOLY SMACKEREL, OL YELLER'MAN! lol...

John's got the right idea.

 

I always put a lot of faith in OEM products. Ever since I had a bad oil filter, i've switched to Toyota filters. They are just as cheap, but I feel like they do a better job than a non-Toyota brand.

 

What wrong with the E3? I know they cost more, but a buddy of mine runs them in his old S10 blazer and loves them. Might try OEM if not to much $$$. Might hit the Yota dealer and see

 

Hey Dan, .....

OH, I'm not saying E3 are bad plugs...... it's just that, well, many things that work well in Chevy's, Jeeps, etc.(Bosch, etc.), are NOT always known for 'working well' with Toyota's, Nissans, Honda's, etc. If you check the threads on any of the big 3 Japanese motors, you'll find much of the same thing, and it's not just a myth. I can't COUNT the times that someone has used aftermarket wires or plugs or cap or rotor or coil or ignitor or AFM or.... you get the point, that they've ran into 'issues'... The 02 Sensor is a great example. Look at blackfogt's build thread right now... he's pulled out a failed bosch 02(at least I think it was) and has pics side by side with the 'Denso' 02.... it's WAY different, and works differently as well(in regards to how it's inner workings read the temp, how deeply the sensor goes into the pipe, etc.).

As I said, ...with this rig, before I rebuilt, I actually put 154K ON THE DENSO'S... not 100k... and they were still working just fine and had good color, etc(which I know has lots to do with other things as well, but STILL, 154k?????? Never had autolites last me that long, if ya know what I mean? lol)

I think there's an issue with some of them burning TOO hot, as well as other things, Dan, .... but I'll just stop here as Swimmers 91 thread seems to be getting derailed quite frequently~! hahaha.

I'll just say "I'm expounding on 'why Brian went OEM with his tune up!' " hahahaha.

 

well i hate to do it but ill derail again for a quick second if thats ok? i cant get my ujoint out of the rear of my drive shaft, any ideas? used the vice and socket method and beat on it, no dice ughhhh!

 

This has gotten mega off topic.....

 

its got something to do with 22rs and pickup though, atleast were not talkin about what we did today etc etc

 

Hahahahaa... Hey, ....I was just giving a shout out to "OEM OR BUST!" lol.

 

lol this is true, fugde it i give up! new thread time

 

Woohoo!!

 

but anyways back to topic, did you get your header installed yet?

 

Brian, .............. You might know this, ...but wrap the header up where it travels down to the collector, after 'removing' the stock manifold 'bracket'. (it has to come off or the header will not fit.... At least, it wouldn't for me, lol).

Can't wait to see it on there.... You'll LOVE IT, and it DOES offer a more throaty sound, on top of the performance aspect(which I can testify to). Even more so with the sound if you end up going with 2.25" to the back/out pipe.
