    interior molding

    My '82 Capri has the same piece you're talking about, but my '86 Capris don't. I think this was only on the early 4 eye foxes then later discontinued. I have looked for a replacement for mine too and no one seems to be making them. I don't think it's really an essential piece since the cars that...

    Need to replace fog lights, won't pass inspection

    Law states that ANY lights mounted on a vehicle MUST work. I had a fog light burn out while I was being tested... so instead of failing, then running to get a new bulb, then bringing the car back for a retest... I simply unbolted them and passed. Fixed it later when I had time.

    engine rebuild connecting rod clearance issues

    There are two different syles of rod bearings... ones that that are designed for a chamfered crank journal and ones for non chamfered crank journals. If you have a stock crank, you need the chamfered ones. If you look at the crank journal, the area where the shiny finished round journal meets...

    Anti freeze over flowing

    There are only two things (aside from overheating) that cause the coolant to pump out of the radiator and into the overflow tank. 1. Head gasket blown between a cylinder and the water jacket. High cylinder pressure from the compression stroke and combustion over pressurize the cooling...

    Quarter window molding covers

    This is why 4eyed foxes are better... never have to worry about crappy rubber window mouldings, hazy/yellow cheap plastic headlights or cheese grater taillights.

    Lug nut stud install

    I always use a block of wood with a hole drilled in it and put the rotor face down with the stud inside the hole... then use a large drift and hammer to pound them in one at a time from the back side. I use this method with the rotors and the axles... works like a charm... just don't let it...

    I just cant catch a break!

    After the details you gave I'm having a hard time feeling bad for you. Eyes are very important and you weren't only being careless with them... you were being extremely careless with them. First off, get the saftey guard put back on that grinder... there isn't anything I can't use it for that...

    I just cant catch a break!

    Sorry to hear about your injury... hope everything turns out well. I've been a welder for many years now and have seen my share of ginding injuries... none of them pleasant. That's why I always wear gloves, safety glasses AND a face shield... and the wheel guard is always on. Rarely do you...

    Mean Exhaust

    If you want mean... Pypes is the only way to go. The fitment isn't that great so plan on tweaking it a bit, but a Pypes system will make an SLP sound like childs play.

    next big fad out of europe

    Yeah, I've been seeing more and more of this on the internet... very stupid. My main worry though is that if it starts happening here in America, lawmakers who don't know the difference between good mods and bad mods will see it and start trying to pass laws that prohibit modifying your...

    Will fuel injection still work if the distributor is unhooked?

    Don't worry about being off a tooth... it doesn't matter. Just stab the Mallory dizzy, slap on the blower, then wherever the rotor is pointing, make that #1 and put your plug wires on accordingly.
