Default Replaced everything!!

After reading so many bad things about water pumps leaking and taking out the opti-spark distributor, I decided to go ahead and replace the water pump on my 95, before it started leaking. WELL, one thing lead to another and I ended up changing the water pump, plugs, plug wires, opti-spark distributor, thermostat, and both belt tensioner pulleys. I replaced the radiator and all hoses last year, so hopefully I will be done with her for a while. It took me about twenty hours to do it all.

I did most all of it by my self, but I do have air tools and a heated shop which made the job a whole lot faster.
