OK then these are the best cars to work on with a 170 , 200 or 250 . I had one heck of a time changing the plugs in my mav once I put the v8 in. I should have put them in the engin while it was still on the stand .
I would like to second the above comment. I agree with the others, though. A good set of hand tools and a couple pieces of mechanical literature would be great investments. Kinda like screwdrivers, needlenose pliers, and soldering kits for electronics. Plus, if not just for your car, you will end up using the tools over the course of your entire life. Just my $.02. But, have fun with whatever you decide. Eric (silver70)
