    mech. oil pres. inside?

    I have a mechanical autometer oil pressure inside my car. I used the copper tubing kit and sheathed it inside some rubber vaccum line. Works fine.

    Any Foxbody GTs with LX wing??

    I don't have a picture, but my '87 GT has an LX wing. It was on there when I bought it. When I was getting ready to paint it a couple of years ago I bought a GT wing, but ended up just re-selling it because I liked the lower profiel look of the LX wing better.

    First thing that pops in my head is that maybe while doing the body work he disconnected the battery while having the doors open so as not to run the battery down. That would have reset the computer and it will take it a few miles to "re-learn" it's settings.
