Save your money on the coil - the stock one is fine.

Gap your plugs at .042in vice whatever you've read somewhere else. Use dielectric grease on the plug ends and anti-seize on the plugs themselves.

What QSD said about the coil is correct. The stock coil puts out more than enough for the PT, a little higher voltage won't do anything.

That's the tightening sequence for the upper to lower manifold bolts
There are 5 bolts and "1" represents the center bolt.Start with that one and then 2 and so on.

For bolting together plastic manifolds and putting plugs into alloy heads, you might have to invest in new torque wrench that is accurate in the 10 ft-lbs range.

I sprung for a nice one that clicks and everthing.

But the new one is -shiney-.

(I figure the price of the new tool is about what it would cost me to pay someone else to do my plugs and wires... And I only had to buy the tool once.)
