Rich,
Yes it is an MSD street ready distributor and a blaster coil. I thought about changing the cap and painting the coil, all I would have to do is change the ends on the plug wires.

As for the lift I looked long and hard for one. You can spend 2k-5k on a 9k lb lift. I am a hobbiest don't really need a comercial lift so I bought an american made lift I can't remeber the name I will look today. I lucked out I bought it used from a local want ad. It was 1 year old and the sales man that sold the guy the lift repo it for lack of payment. I paid 1500.00 dollars for it! I saved about 1000 dollars. I was told it was the same lift all the walmart service centers use.

Jason

That may just happen. It all depends on my son's pop warner football schedule. It is a hard time of the year with the kids sports and school starting back up. I had a real nice time when I went in 2007.
