Headliners are all installed! Shows what someone with a deft hand (not me... lol) can do with backer boards in good condition and $30 worth of fabric and glue.

Replaced my Bosch +4s with standard plugs today. Can't see or hear any difference in the idle. From what I could measure, the +4s have a gap of 55 thousands from the edge of the center pin to one of the side pins. But the spark travels over the insulator so not sure if that makes a difference.
It's time to replace my 45 year old spark plug socket. The center foam plug holds the plug so tight on the install that I can't pull the socket out. Had to pull that foam plug to torque down the plugs to 15 ft/lbs.

Installed the remote for my digital lock module. My wife gave it to me for my birthday yesterday. Took about 20 min to install, not too bad! Need to figure out how to tidy up all those extra wires, the compartment didn't look too beforehand. The remote adds 7 long wires that I had to fold up and try tucking away.
Works awesome though. I'd highly recommend it!

Thanks again for doing them!
See aboveNICE JOB!!!!
As for me, I drove it to work today. It was uneventful and everything performed perfectly. Just like old times. Yay! Plus the 50 degree commute through the valley kept things nice and cool.
I also actually stalled it out in a parking lot. I put the throttle spool return spring back in the other day and that additional pedal effort combined with the brand new clutch... sigh

Very clean looking. Did you relocate your vents somewhere that were above the radio? I can't see any relocation in the pics.
