Yesterday evening, I reattached the top at the frame header and installed a new weatherstrip between the header and windshield. Other than a few snaps and studs, the top is back on and looking good.

So, I got new plugs and wires, and today I put them in, siphoned the old gas out of the tank and replaced it with fresh Shell premium, and blew out the fuel filter.
