Default Not too "Tech" Tech tip

If I am preaching to the chior forgive me


For those of you who, like me, do your repairs, maint, mods, ect by yourself here is one of those "why didn't I think of that".

Above the area where you work in the engine bay, screw several screw eyes into the rafters (if Ya don't have one of those "show me your garage" palaces hahahaha) You will be amazed at how handy it is to have a place to tie a small line from above to hold things up out of the way. When I was installing my intake manafold and headers I had a spider web of string comming down from above. A Novi kit is next and from the install pics I have seen I better be screwin' a bunch more in my ceiling!

One thing I did when I hung my lights was to make sure one was directly over where the hood of the car would be. Of course the age thing now ensures even that isn't enough light
