Injector O-rings; hood release cable

[David Pertuz]

Oof! I bet I do. I have two alternators of unknown effectiveness lying
around, and the deep, dark recesses of my memory are telling me that one of
them probably came from you a million years ago.

If I had a good starter I'd swap it in, as I think the solenoid on mine is
starting to go.
