if you buy one of the cheap ebay ones, have fun trying to install them. they don't come with instructions.

I bought the ebay one for $23 shipped and if you know about your car then you should have no problem installing. All you need to do is find the ground points(intake manifold, engine block, head lamp, cylinder head, altenator, tranny) and connect the wires....installation is self explanatory

Hey atleast that's all you have to deal with. My wife won't let me do any major engine mods till I build her a oldie up. I believe she's pushing for a 70ish Trans am. But I'm still waiting for her to make up my mind.

Translation for those single guys............ "I'm never getting any Engine parts for my Maxima."
