Sparkless

I rarely rev my old wagon (with auto trans) above 5000 rpm. That's way above the torque curve and any marginal HP I might gain with a stock motor. It sounds like hell at anything above 4000rpm, anyway.

EZ-out?

One can't judge a person by the car they drive. Sounds like this guy did and tried to kiss you off by throwing $20 at you. I recently replaced the left side mirror on my '87 wagon from one I found on ebay. The shipping cost more than the mirror itself! I paid around $20 for the whole deal. I'm sure you can find a mirror rump roast'y there.
