The Journey To Find A Fox. Found A Cobra Instead.

$250 a good price for power seat track with new motors/rebuild kit?

Making a wishlist for the items I’m needing. Gonna get new Motorcraft plug wires, cap and rotor with a boot. Can not stand the red MSD stuff. It has the SVE silicon hoses and aluminum radiator which I don’t like either but it runs cool, at least in the cold. Needs an air deflector underneath. Also deciding how to tackle the headlights. They are original and I want to polish them up a bit. Anyone ever done these headlights? I’ve only done my Tundras headlights, which are super clear plastic. Next week it’s not supposed to rain and I have leave scheduled so it’s gonna get washed, clayed and polished. I’ll post pics of the progress on all that.

I also found a power seat track on eBay, so I’ll be installing that. It came with it and that’s how I want it.

It still has the R12 in it. I have a buddy who has the equipment for hvac, can you just evacuate the r12 and replace with r134 or does everything need to be changed? It blows coldish, but it’s hard to tell when it’s cold out.

The r134a molecule is smaller, so you really need to disassemble, flush, change o rings and then evacuate and recharge.

Is it just low on r12? I'd just top it off. R12 is all over eBay. I have a license to buy but never once been asked. You just fill out the "waiver" saying you are buying for a tech and they mail it.


As for headlights..a few are readily available on eBay NOS. mainly the parking/turn lights

I would think it was just low on r12. I have seen it on eBay. What equipment is needed to just top it off?

I’ve seen the headlights on eBay, I may just buy them slowly over time to have them. I do like NOS parts. But my lights are just a little discolored.

Something like this work for topping off?
