Changed the oil, installed new lithium ion battery, and fired her up for the first time this year. She roared to life and after she warmed up we screamed all the way to redline several times. I love this damn car.

As an aside, I've got a lifter tick (I think). I'll put a stethoscope on her but I think it's bank 1, likely cylinder 1 or 2. I order a bottle of liquid moly lifter additive, maybe ill get lucky lol

Here's a pic of the battery I installed. It's a motorcycle battery that I got in Amazon. It weighs nothing, is rated to 480cca, and it turned over the car with zero hesitation (that's with radio and subwoofer on). I've still gotta rig up a retainer for it but that a bungee cord should work just fine

Last but not least I learned something new today. Positive battery terminals are wider than negative terminals! I found this out when I installed the posts on the battery and had a significant size discrepancy on the ground side. Lessons hard learned....
