    67 fb factory wire harness question

    I'd go with a newer harness, in terms of work; i think painless will take a little bit more fitting but it will also be a lot easier to add on new things like door locks, power windows, alarm, etc... I think the hardest part for me when putting a new harness was getting the wires to go...

    Having rewired a car, i'd say go for it, its not as hard as it sounds. after you do it once you will be able to rewire a car in a day. You will also be able to troubleshoot an electrical problem when it comes up. I used EZ wiring, not painless.

    fair price for the paint job

    I guess it all depends on the condition. I'd think that if you disassebled the car completely and stripped it down 2 bare metal it'd be significantly cheaper. For me it was a family friend who did it; i gave him the car running, he took off trim and painted, he didn't media blast it, it was...

    Engine woes

    Yah as soon as I get some more money i'll go ahead and get the conversion kit. Most probably going with petronix I; is there a significant difference between I and II? Some new findings: I checked my shop manual and it told me to check the fast idle screw and make sure it wasn't touching the...

    Engine woes

    What do you mean by the on position? do u mean listening to the stereo without the engine running? I didn't do that. As for the points conversion, anyone recommend a specific kit, should i also replace the coil as well? I read in places that with Petronix it sometimes has problems with the...

    my speedometer cable keeps breaking...

    I bought an entire new cable and housing from NPD. it was ever so slightly lubed. there was a sharp bed right before it would reach speedo head unit, it probably snapped there too. It broke when i accelerated fast out of the stop sign. the whole way back home it made a grinding noise, it...
