Default Install advice

I'm going to be installing a stage 1 a/c tomorrow and a PC-V. Any words of wisdom?

Yes.......remove your battery AND battery box for the PCV installation. It will make it much easier.

Use dielectric grease on the Pcv install and maybe use a plastic bag as well. Don't want water to get in there. Don't ask me how I know this lol

Hmm...words of wisdom.

1) Don't eat yellow snow

2) Don't take any wooden nickels

3) What Don said.
