    Calling for an L98 Mechanic in Ohio?

    Got in my 87 to go to work today and noticed lots of white smoke. Looks very, very bad. Head gaskets I'm afraid. Anyone know a fair mechanic in NE Ohio? I've contacted one guy, waiting for his estimate.

    Plug wire retainers

    I'm going to change plugs and wires on my 1987 L98 soon. I've seen lots of different wire retainers in engine pics. Right now my plug wires are nicely run with zip ties. I want to get something a little nicer. So, let me know what experiences you've had with different retainers, and where you...
