Spent an interesting morning replacing the upper engine mount with the OEM-style bushing, pretty much following the pipe-flange method (MVS). One tip I didn't see was to use a big C clamp to pull in the side that doesn't want to go in if the bushing starts to get out of line. Otherwise, no great problem encountered.
After losing a part next to the spark plug cover, it seemed like a good time to check the plugs after taking off the cover to retrieve the erant part. By the way, I see that the plug wires are printed in yellow near the distributer end "95-20" -- does that mean they are original equipment? (I can hear Klaus cringing already.) Meanwhile, here I am with the plug socket I've been using for the past thirty years, and it won't fit in the recess to remove the plugs!!?? Just what kind of socket do you need for these cars, anyway?
Always something to keep things interesting ...
