2020 can't be all that bad if the wife let me get this!
Well the wife out did herself again. Today marks 12 years of being married to my best friend. That means 12 years of putting up with a motorhead like me. I put her through a lot of crap with my project cars and all my various other hobbies but she loves me for me and I love her for it. Find the one that loves you for you and won't tell you to hold back your dreams, marry them and then never let them go.

      If you are looking at the engine from the front bumper the left front is #1. The right front is #4. So it goes #1, #2, #3 on the left and on the right is #4, #5, #6. If you have a v8 it just shifts so 1-4 on the left and 5-8 on the right. Hope this helps
