Update - RE: Installing cap and rotor...



The installation of my new wires/cap/rotor went smoothly. I'm glad that I
got a set of wires with the loom - the old one was destroyed when I tried to
remove it to be able to follow the wires.

A couple of things to note: the old wires on my car where a perfect fit, all
where just the right length, but these new ones are a little long.
Especially the coil wire. But everything works fine. The rotor was a little
difficult to get all the way down, and the new cap didn't seem to fit
properly at first, but I got it on. The car started up with no problems.

Also this weekend I changed the oil in my '93 90S to Mobil 1 synthetic. I
absolutly could not get the drain plug out for the life of me, my socket
wrench just couldn't do the job and I didn't have a pipe or anything to be
able to put over the wrench to help it out. Finally out as a last resort, I
wondered if the lug bolts where the same size as the drain plug. A quick
test proved that they were in fact the same size. So I raided the trunk for
the lug wrench and had the oil drained a few minutes later. Then, after I
filled the engine with the Mobil 1, I discovered that I forgot to put the
gasket back on the drain plug! Luckly, I had a nice new rubbermaid container
that I was able to drain the new oil into. Boy, I felt stupid.
