So i got my new cluster today and everything works but the Tach. it needs a green plug-in clip....

I have a 94 CX ..... i believe this cluster came from a EJ but im not sure ..
where would this green plug in be cause the only plug and play i see is my rear defroster but they dont work and the one for my fogs.

went out there, cranked up bluesville on the big speakers in the loft and did some more. The new pump should be here tomorrow, the fitting from Summit already made it here.

went to finally look at the k swapped sedan and to good to be true. the passanger side hit cracked the block and tranny caseing it was dark out so couldnt really see were the oil was comeing out from but when he started it u can see fire from the side of the block below the intake manifold. i was hella sad but im debating wheater to just get it any ways and build the motor slowly.

my son seems to be doing real good doc says if he keeps up the good work thru the weekend we go home monday hope my lil man keeps it up.

best way is to just pull the whole motor, saves the headache of having to deal with tight spaces.

finally got the valve covers off of the lincoln, what a SON OF A BITCH, whoever was in charge of making sure things were easy to fix should be beaten, all they had to do was redesign the way the wire looms were run, on the good side, I was surprised it didn't have more sludge, usually you can't see the rocker arms on these old ford motors

Yea some car manufactures Make you wonder what their engineers were thinking when they make stuff the way they do. Most of these new cars you have to get serviced at dealerships. So when do you think your accord is gonna run?

I'm not sure, if I can scrounge up the money someone is offering to sell me some of those datsun carbs like I have on the car, I'm trying to sell the 98 civic as a parts car, that will free up funds. I just finished putting the fuel pump assembly together, that will almost complete the fuel system
