Awesome. Figures I just went out and bought a set of wires for the points style dizzy. Probably have a set laying around from the mustang somewhere I am sure.

Any LSJ guys chime in with what's the best way to buy your oil? 6.5qts sucks, do you guys just buy two oil change deals and have 10 qts then next time only need two? or do you just buy 5qt jugs sepereate and grab a filter?

I'm lucky, mine's always taken 7qts on the nose. I just buy a 5qt and two individual qts. I don't like to leave oil laying around, especially since I only do about 2-3 oil changes a year.

Charity autocross this Sunday at North Park. I will have the Cobalt in STX (unless I feel like changing tires, I won't). Come out and support a good cause.
