Purchased a PHR metal spark plug cover as they finally became available again. Also had my dad paint match the satin black on my clear cam cover but leaving the front window cleared. Paint matched almost 100%. Pretty spot on in person.

I got a PHR race alternator on order, should be getting it next week.
Also a 5" core ETS Supra TT intercooler with 3" inlet and 4" outlet on order (had to take advantage of the Black Friday sale).

Nice alternator! I was thinking about ordering that with their special pricing going on right now. Even the dual fuel pump hangar is over $100+ off

Nice .. it is all coming together buddy. Btw, I initially found three sc400 igniters with brackets and when I was about to give up looking into my pile of junk , I found two SC300 igniters with brackets... send me the shipping and will send one to you buddy. I am glad haven't tossed them yet into the trash bin.

I didn't even think about Black Friday. I ordered that alternator a little while ago because I needed it asap. Wanted to install it before we dropped the engine in the car, it took a little longer for them to make it than I expected so we installed the engine in the car before the winter hit because I needed to clear out the other half of the garage to store my other car for the winter. Wonder what kind of discount they had on the alternator.

Thanks again gerrb! Glad there is someone on the forums that hoards all kinds of SC parts!
