G, which o2 sensor? Lemme get this right, you were overheating due to a leak, replaced head gasket, and now you have a o2 sensor fault?

Is there another plug that's more common the fits the fog light switch? I'm going to make the OEM switch work with the depo fogs until I can get an OEM harness?

the engine never overheated, just burned a
lot of coolant, which would affect an o2 sensor, even more so when it's an old and incorrect o2 was the one I was using.

This is why I have a sedan and not a coupe.

Dear Sirs-Yo!!!

Some nice pics up on the thread. Can anyone tell me?

Q1:Can springs be removed/installed without a compressor?

Q2:Should I replace all my bushings?

Expecting konis in the mail, have nuespeed springs.

Best and thanks in advance, Orville,

Yes to question one, but makes it a little more difficult. Use a towel to wrap around the top hots to keep everything from going everywhere. You will need another person helping you when putting the new springs on, or the old springs on new struts. A compressor makes the job easier if you are working by yourself.

Question 2 is sole preference. I'm doing this to my car, but only because I'm doing a full ground up rebuild. If you plan on keeping it for awhile and it rides like an old truck then might be something to look into.



What wheels are these? 949s?

Thanks guys,

I'm pretty good at manipulating hardware and stuff, I grew up in a machine shop, but on that same note, I know when I'm in over my head, I'll think I'll give it a go maverick style,
