Slowly getting back

I did manage to spend a few minutes on the car this week, as the neck pain has pretty well diminished, but I still have very little left arm strength. My physical therapy exercises will hopefully work, but may actually take a couple of months. Ugggh.

Anyway, I had an easy task to do this week. Or at least I thought so. I mounted the ignition control box to the passenger side footbox. There were 4 little rubber feet that cushion it from vibration that simply needed holes drilled and nuts tightened. Simple enough...except the instructions from the manufacturer, MSD, were wrong. They said to use a 1/8" bit, but that was not near big enough for the threads of the feet to pass through, so I had to re-drill them (twice actually as I was guessing at the perfect size which turned out to be 3/16"). I placed it so that I can later install footbox vents if I so decide. Pics will follow.
