    The transmission pan magnet!

    Well, I was changing the trans filter on my Mazda3 and had the brilliant idea to pain the pan while it was off with lime green engine paint. Looks great! and no one can even see it :P Anywho, in my zeal, I left out the magnet. I have since stuck it on the outsid eof the pan bottom. Opps. So, I...

    aftermarket ignition on Chevy 350

    My friend is building up an 80 El Camino(just a mild 350hp build) and was curious about ignition system upgrades - like going to a coil pack rather than a distributor - he mentioned a Mallory system, but is that the best bang for the buck?

Is it a GM only part? Can I just delete it w/o affecting anything? BTW, if you can't tell, it's between up...
