Re: Most HP engine drop but, still durable

If you're "new at this", you need to know the 302 V8 is not a "drop in"! Do you need to meet smog laws? Are you trying to stay within a budget?

Re: What kind of Plastic?

PP would be polypropylene. Don't ask me if PP is the correct answer for the housing material though, 'cause I don't know.

Re: Couple of electrical questions

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying all of your turn signal lamps light up like they should, but just blink too fast, or are you saying you removed all of your light bulbs and you tested them...

If you don't like the parking lights coming on when you turn on the dash dome light switch, you could put a switch in the new relay circuit. The switch should go between the dome light wire and the...

Re: parking lights.

Your dome light is controlled by the computer, so you have the auto-off feature if you leave a door open. The control circuit in the computer may not have the current carying capacity to run the...

Re: AC Clutch not engaging

cvar, cowboybilly, and Jswifto all have different answers. I give up. I didn't intend to hijack this thread, but there aren't enough accurate details here to get the job done right.

Re: AC Clutch not engaging

How much pressure should it take to engage the low side switch? I'm seeing about 50psi, but the switch does not close, so the compressor clutch will not engage.

Re: Coolant Over Flow Problem

Before you tear down your engine, you need to figure out which side has the bad head gasket. Otherwise, you'll need to replace both sides. First remove your fan belt, so your water pump doesn't...

Re: Exterior Fog Light Wiring

Here's where I put my relay and fuse for my new fogs, in the fuse box under the hood. There's a good place to connect to the 12 v. battery power, with a female spade lug on my fuse wire. The...

Re: New owner. Few questions

Re: Over heating issues

Have you tested any of the "failed" thermostats? Put one in water on the kitchen stove. It should be fully open when little bubbles start forming on the sides of the pan. Could you be putting...
