    Sounds like its part Adjustment or Replacement Time. Which parts are hard to say with that info. Could be window bushings, retainers, rod locator, grease, motor alignment, drive gear. It just sounds like something is loose or wore out. With out taking off the door panel and digging in there...

    swapping interior and harness .. ID these

    Oh wanted to add, there are a few differences between the 89 and the 90 when it comes to wireing. Youll need a few things, just one is the Turn Signal Switch/Handle, I believe the ECU and Ignition, and engine harness connections are different as well. You may know this, just giveing a heads up.

    MultiFunction Switch Compatibility

    Make sure you LOOK at the switch they sell for the "89". I had my mechanic TRY to get one, they kept sending one, but it was for the > 84 < and not the 89. It was Used in 89, but on Cougars and a couple other cars. IF it has a little hazard switch on the bottom, it Will Not Work, the wires...

    leather dye

    Custom Covers. The dyes work well, but its REAL hard to get it even. It always comes out a tiny bit streaky or blotchy. Even worse, if it dosent take well, it rubs off on your clothes :(

    How do you prime the oil pump?

    Thats the Rod you showed at Summit. If you can rent one, I would. You can save shipping if you have an auto parts store near you. Welding one together can work, in the past, i have seen some like that at the track. I personally would Never trust a socket down there, if i didnt loose it...

    How do you prime the oil pump?

    You can get a drill adapter. Its just a long rod, the end depends what type you need. (Any auto parts store should have one) On my old car, you just put it down the distributor hole and ran the pump a bit with it. On these, i am guessing its done the same way. I was taught, it was to fill...

    Power Window Issues (searched for 2 days)

    Pull the switch off/out, with a small flat blade screw driver, gently, pry the snaps open while, prying out the switch guts, to open the switch. Clean the tiny contacts inside, should be 2. One person said use a match body with wd40, i used real fine emery paper and contact cleaner. Let...

    How low will my idle go? 1000 rpm?

    Like he said, 900 would be normal for most V8s. Below about 750 it wouldnt stay running on its own. As for the rev limiter, i have that ECU, but if my engine ever gets to 7K, ive got a REAL problem, or the worst shift of my life, :) Off the top of my head, i think 6500 is tops even when...
