Just did a green wrap on the spokes topped with a black cobra weave and then a spiral wrap on the rest of the wheel.

Learned it all on YouTube. So far it's comfortable for driving and works well with not burning my hand when the wheel is hot from the sun.

Ford motors have a long history of spitting out spark plugs like sunflower seeds. I had a great time trying to diagnose a friend's engine problem ('02 Escort) over the phone after that happened. Got to a point where I asked her to follow the wires, and she said one wasn't plugged in. I said that's her problem, but she said there was nothing to plug it into. A quick Google search taught me that it's a Ford thing, and I really just don't understand. The new Raptor trucks have the same problem, by the way.

Had to get a new trans. dip stick at the junkyard so far. Might go back in a bit to get some wiper pumps and look for some door pockets off an old Ranger.

Replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor and air filter. Also cleaned out the TB and intake.

On the way home my transmission decided to act up....

I'm going to clean the NSS and do the kickdown cable adjustment to see if that solves it. I believe it will.
