By the way Kyle, I have a 3" Perfomance Accessories lift on mine with a 3" Rancho suspension lift,
cranked up my torsion bars and swapped out the 2" rear riser blocks for 3" blocks. I have
a total of 7" of lift. Currently running 33"x12.50"x15" BFG All Terrains (which I want ot sell so
I can get 35").

Good, the Noise Capacitor did help me out alot. I used ring terminals on the
pos/neg wire coming from the MSD box and used ring terminals on the pos/neg
wires going to the battery, so a total of 4 ring terminals, soldered of
course. This way, I can take things apart alot easier if I ever have to work
on something. The Noise Capacitor has 2 bolts ontop of it to secure the
wires to. MSD says to take off some wire insulation and just 'wrap' the
wire around the bolts and then tighten it down. To me, this just didnt not
seem too good of an idea, so I used the ring terminals. Yes I did run the
neg wire directly to the battery as well. The battery itself does have a
ground wire running to the body, but just for good measures I ran a second
battery ground wire to an area on the frame which I sanded down with my
Dremel so get a good solid ground point. I always use Dielectric tune up
grease on my dist cap terminals and on the spark plugs, lots it
actually;Just another measure to ensure good contacts and to keep moisture
out. I recently added a noise filter from Radio Shack to my CB and it was a
good $5 investment. Good Luck, let us know how things turn out!
