You guys rubbed off on me

Well, I finally feel worthy of the DML :-)

I have been hanging around here for about 3 months and you guys rubbed off
on me. My original plan was to just keep my eyes out for tech tips or things
to watch out for on my Dak. So much for that plan.

This last weekend I did my first Dak wrenching and jumped in with:

New Cap/Rotor (brass)
Swapped the 5224 plugs (.040") for 3923 plugs (.045")
New MSD plug wires
New MSD 6A ignition
New Accel coil

I must say, it made a definite improvement. The idle used to hiccup every
now and then and now it just purrs.

Now the only thing is to figure out what is next! Hmmm, FIPK...TB...Cat
Back...

Does anybody have a good web site that lists mods in the order in which they
should be carried out for those of us on a budget who do just one project at
a time? I'm thinking:

1. 180 T-Stat
2. FIPK
3. Cat Back
4. Headers
5. Throttle Body

Am I heading down the right path or am I out of order? Any other mods that
provide a good bang for the buck? I'll probably never get to the Huffer or
Nitrous levels, at least not unless you guys are REALLY infectious!
