    any tech articles on FMS oil/water/volt installation in pillar?

    How do I "grab power from fuse 13" Do I splice a wire coming from the fuse box or do I attach a wire directly to fuse 13. (That sounds wrong) I am just having a hard time picturing the actual connection.

    What is this?

    I believe that is your pilot bearing. It is located in the crankshaft on the flywheel side and is what your tranny input shaft rotates on. They are inexpensive and easy to get. I think you can inspect for damage on the crank and may get away with a $12.- part and reassemble. Did you hear...
