This was my favorite song when i was 5. I had a pair of cowboy boots way too small, but refused to give them up. Tenacity...

Spark plugs that last 100k? No points, no condenser? What? You guyz living on Mars? I looked at my engine today, well, okay the Bronco's engine, and I am going to have to buy a very important tool if I am going to do anything to it. A step stool! The only thing I can reach is the upper radiator hose clamp (which is still the factory clamp) Everything else is too far away. I can't even clean the middle of the windshield and I am 6 foot tall. The spark plugs wires are out of reach as is the oil filter. Going to be interesting doing any maintenance on this thing.
