Better pricing multiple parts

Parts for individual sale - shipping as a whole has just been too expensive

Couldn't tell you because it didn't happen and I'm not no Piro forensic scientist

Been tempted to try a set in the past from Darkside? Not many sources

Damn, good thing it didn't explode. May be time for a new car

Prob will just put it back, and check into wiring some other time

Yea the car is rusty, all the bolts and clamps everywhere. I may take another look at things and what may be the main wire for ground I can remove and clean up. Otherwise I may just leave the wire there as added protection
