Ok thanks, I bought some dry lubricant yesterday so ill run the antenna up and down a few times today and hope that fixes it. If not I'll be taking it apart. Update: So I just tried lubing it and still not dice. Looks like I'll be taking it apart.

Awesome, that is very helpful. I do have the 89+ wing so I assume I would also have to unbolt the one piece of the wing on the passenger side quarter panel.

Thanks guys. Should I just refer to the TSRM for removal?

My antenna starts out by going up 3/4 of the way then makes a grinding noise and does not go up the remaining 1/4 (it will if I assist it). When I turn the radio off I hear the antenna motor running and nothing happens for the 1st 1/4 (which makes sense as its not all the way up) and then it...

Nick, I believe I also noticed some fipg on the threads while changing over to the new drain plug gasket's. Ngk coppers are in with new Ngk blue wires. The plugs were gapped to .030. Took it for a very brief ride and it seemed to run well. I did notice though the idle seemed slightly...

I did a compression test a few years ago (~10k miles) and it was 150 across the board. I would find it very hard to believe the rings went bad on all 6 cylinders on stock boost. Also, I ditches the autolites and went with ngk coppers. The ngk is a longer plug. I was running ngk iridiums.

Thanks, yea I changed out the valve cover gaskets and cam shaft seals a few years ago (~5k miles) when i replaced the valve seals with the head still on the car. I did remember the fipg on the front corners of the valve covers. Most of the oil in the valley is at cyl. #s 1,2,5,6.

Thanks....ill run to napa and get 4 of the gaskets you noted

Not familiar with oil drain gaskets but if you have the size I will get them. Thanks for the help.

I went to change my spark plugs today and there was a decent amount of oil is the spark plug valley. I am going to clean up the oil prior to removing the plugs but was wondering what I can do to prevent this. I read a bunch of threads on this and felt like half of what I read was not correct...

Was a stock head gasket used or metal? Metal should never be used without block prep as well as the head. What was it torqued to? How much boost are you running? Also, why would you wash the motor with it running? If the head gasket is leaking it's coming off again. I would not use the...

The "coil pack" firing order you have is correct. If you label the cylinders 1 to 6 from the radiator to fire wall respectively thats how you will match up the spark plugs wires. The coil pack spark plug wire order is not the cars firing order .....which you have listed correct above also.

Driftmotion.com has one with the reservoir for $209...not sure what your definition of reasonably priced is. IIRC the reservoir is only held in place by the 2 rubber gaskets and one Phillips screw on the intake manifold side. Take the screw out and wiggle it out of the rubber seals. Do not...

Appreciate the info..... thanks. I may try and trade these in for NGKs if Autozone carries them. If not I'll get them at rock auto.

I returned the 2 older versions and got two new ones so they are all the same. I have read a lot about plugs on this forum and there are a lot of people that swear by Autolite coppers. They are $2 a plug so if they are no good I will switch over to NKG coppers. I put about 3K miles a year on...

Does anyone know why these Autolite 3923s are different? I bought 4 of these at 1 place and 2 at another place. I was going to install them today and realized they are not the same. One is slightly longer than the other, the metal is different and the end where the spark plug wire connects is...

Yes, I think we are stuck. I reached out to Aaron a Driftmotion to see if he knew anyone who had them on the shelf. No luck. His response below. I guess i'll have to go coilovers eventually. Hi, They are backordered from Tokico, I don’t think anyone has any on the shelf. Tein...

2 seconds ago I just got an email from them saying they are out of stock. I specifically said to the guy, "Are you sure you have these because they have been discontinued." He assured me they did. Then they tried selling me on Koni Yellows.....nah I'm good.

I just bought a set from www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com. The site has a chat feature and the guy told me they still have some available. It came to $609 which is about $15 per strut more expensive then I have seen on other sites. Since my struts are probably from 1989 and I want to retain the...
