I have always liked MSDs cap/rotor kits, coils, and ignition boxes, but damnit why do they have to be bright ass red! haha. Anytime I looked at an engine picture of my car I felt like my eye was immediately drawn to the red ignition coil. So I took it off, sprayed it with some high temp black paint and clear, and man what a difference did it make for the overall 'look' under the hood.Before:<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20121128_114001.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After:<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20130325_202707_zpsa0c90e55.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />-Next I FINALLY got around to installing the clutch cable. I forgot how big of a p.i.t.a it is to do it by yourself when the cable keeps coming off the quadrant while you're underneath the car, so I finally temporarily zip-tied the cable in position onto the quadrant, and that small task was complete.After install:<img src="http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq163/Mustang1619/Mobile%20Uploads/20130325_210129_zpsb0f92c56.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />-Also today when I was poking around up front I started inspecting my charcoal canister. I discovered a small crack on the top of it, and a few of the hoses looked like they had seen better days, so I ordered a new one from a local parts store, and I will pick it up tomorrow. There was one line coming from it that wasn't connected to anything, I'm not sure if it was smog pump related or what, but I need to look into that. -The only things left under the hood now are cruise control, wiper cowl, and a/c. I gathered up new O-rings for every component in the a/c system, and after I flush the lines and condenser, I will install it on the car (unfortunately it will slightly clutter up the nice engine bay, but it's the price I will live with for that creature comfort).-I hope to get the front bumper and headlights installed within the next few days, I am very anxious to see it all put back together. Then I may bolt the wheels on to get an idea of where the ride height is. Either way I have a feeling I should just buy the spanner wrench, but just so I know.As always, Questions/Comments welcome.</blockquote>
