scotch guard is a type of carpet chemical that you obviously apply to your carpet...it makes your carpet impervious to dirt stains...etc...if you spill your coffee on your nice tan carpet no problem...just soak it up and give it a light scrub...no stains basically

big ern did this wright up it cost me 113$
well 120 for the alt but i traded in my old one and got a 20 for it
also buy the wire plug and a new belt for 3bucks
ull need a grinder and a big L square or a real good eye
put it in all nice and tight first estimate what angle u have to take the shave off and do it little by little to save trouble personally its great i get hardcore 14v

Your cold start problem is because you not only removed the choke, but you also removed the fast idle linkage. It'll have crappy cold starts till you remedy that.

PS- Looks clean and straight. Keep her that way.
