Tune up kits

Post by ihatemybike »

Green needs a tune-up, Grumpy too for that matter.

Right now I'm looking at the Accel Kit for Green. $130 at Jegs or Summit.

What do you think?

I've run Accel wires paired with Bosch Plat +4 plugs in my '94 with no problem.

I've got the Bosch plat plugs in my van,have had them there for 140,000 kms so I know they work well,I've tried all the different caps and rotors ( nothing beats AC Delco ) the wires, I'm using AC Delco there as well.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

NO ACCEL

Get the Summit wires.
Was a good deal.
Get the pre-cut wires.
A lot easier.
Use GM cap n rotor.

My 2¢
I was told getting my beauty sleep was a waste of time.

1990 Astro (Z motor) mostly original @ 343,584 miles (552,944.8488960001 Canadian) (03/2008). Bad startup puff. Starting to spray for skeeters. Gone 06/07/08.
1993 Astro with a bad W motor. Parked next to a chicken coop in Talking Rock GA
I'm 'tween Canton and Holly Springs (North NorthWest of Atlanta GA)
I haul bottled water everyday- between 500 and 2500 pounds (226.796185 and 1,133.980925 Canadian) INSIDE the van.
