Hi everyone,

Thanks for having me. Just bought an '88 notchback, 5sp. This thing goes pretty good but not without some problems....

-Voltage is all over the place...
-Clutch cable keeps stretching after firewall adjustments...
-Runs soooo cold (135?)....
-No dash lights...

Wish me luck?

See ya around the fox body section!

Aside from summit and PAW (if they exist anymore) check out american muscle, cj pony parts and late model restoration. They have been very helpful for me.
