hi Matt,

Here are 2 more suggestions...
1. if you haven't changed the spark plugs yet and if you plan to do it, get
the NGK 3 prongs plugs - NGK BP6ET, no need to adjust the gap.
2. I have here 4 cleaned, calibrated fuel injectors FREE for you for the
cost of shipping. The story of the injectors is this: last year my van had
some sign of power loss, struggling to run properly so I took the injectors
out and sent them to be cleaned, calibrated... After that no sign of
improvement, bring the van to my mechanic... it was low compression on 2
cylinders... So I had the engine rebuilt. At X-Mas time Marco gave a
discount on his injectors so I bought a set for the rebuilt engine...
Anyway, I have a set of injectors on the shelf now... it's for you.

let me know

dan
