  1. That plastic was a part that rested on the brake pedal assembly. So that the switchs would touch it when the brake pedal is released.

     

    Turns out I didn't need a switch eventhough I bought one anyways.

     

    I just took some metal bolts and put double sided electrical tape through the bolt and placed them in the holes.

     

    This is probably why my cruise control hasn't been working.

     

    Going to take it for a test drive now.

  2. Just happened today. Looked it up in the book and it might be the stop lamp switch just above the brake pedal that needs replacing.

     

    Though I did find a piece of cracked plastic on the foot board which might be the part on the other end or one end of the clevis pin.

     

    Any thoughts on this?

     

     

    When I take the wires out of the stop lamp switch the lamps go out. But that plastic sure has me thinking the clevis pin plastic retainer. Only it's a dark blue.

  3. As everyone probably knows I have the coolant temp. guage problem. I bought this item off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=7955050089

     

    It looks good and nothing has been done to it and after the other guy gets a chance to buy it I will offer it up for sale Sunday for what I paid for it.

     

    The voltage connectors do not fit on my 87. Plus I have found that one of my wires have been pulled from the connector and that there might of been a short between the 8 volt voltage regulator. Just looks like it has some burn or rust marks on the flexible wiring. So there really isn't anything beside bulbs that I could use on this thing and I definately don't need bulbs.

     

    On the plus side I got one of the mileage indicators working again. Don't know how I did it but I am glad I don't have to write down the mileage between fill ups anymore.

  4. Too late already bought the hoses. My problem is same as CTPathy. Right about 15000 as the rpms decelerate and you punch it, the backfire occurs. What or where is the decel valve? I was thinking it might be the AB valve if anything. Haven't checked the codes after the plugs and thermostat install. Seems it's harder to get it to backfire though.

  5. A punch tool?

     

    I bought ngks spark plugs for the heck of it. Have to wait on this hose now. Anyone replace their AB valve?

     

    I really hate waiting for parts. I remember when if you had a foreign auto you had to take it to a specialist perhaps because of the metric system but you also had to wait weeks before they shipped the stuff on the slow boat.
