    Whats odd about this guage cluster....

    so you bought a turbo cluster and swapped in a voltmeter from your pre89 cluster? and the voltmeter worked in the old cluster? Poopy! double check your wires, and make sure you compare the way that voltmeter was connected to the original cluster and how you have it now. Im wondering though...

    Whats odd about this guage cluster....

    No, 89+ NA's had 160's, I would know, mine has one...the only thing I can see in that is the redline is lower than my 89

    Did we really go to the moon?

    Well thats just it. They had some very nasty failures that werent made public until quite recently actually. They lost more cosmonauts then we lost Astronauts. Actually we never lost a single apollo astronaut "in flight" It wasnt until the shuttle missions that that happened. If my memory serves...

    Did we really go to the moon?

    Well, I didnt want to name drop, but my last name is Schmidt. As in, Jack Schmidt, as in Apollo 17...walked on the moon kinda thing. No, Im not related, at least not directly...but my father, being a scientist who in the 70's was heavily involved with NASA, got a chance to meet Jack Schmidt (the...

    it hurts but i have to put it down.

    Its sad to hear when someone has to make a hard decision like that. It was like that for me when I sold my 73 Celica that I had had for 10 years. It was like a part of the family. But it sounds to me like you made the right decision based on your life and that you got your priorities in the...

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    yeah, actually what the other guy said about painting the panels seperately might work out, but from my experience with painting metallics, its really best to shoot the whole car all at once using an even spray pattern and thickness to get the flake to lay the same.

    headlight problem?

    Is it possible the motors were disassembled at one time? Because its possible that the arm that goes on the motor was put back on 180 degrees out from where its supposed to be...that would cause the issue you describe.

    still not starting, tried everything

    The simplest thing to do is start at the plugs and work your way backward. No spark at the plugs, check the cap and rotor, no power at the cap, check the coil/coils. No power going to the coil? check the voltage regulator...etc

    Did we really go to the moon?

    I dont even know why I bother but, Alot of science and technology has come from our exploration of the moon. If we didnt go, it makes it very difficult to explain the existence of the technology. Also its fairly easy to follow the timeline of sub-orbital>orbital>lunar>trans-universal flight...

    Global Warming is over. (Really, it is. No joke.)

    Pls advis rookie on painting problem

    I would say if you werent dealing with a metallic color you could blend the areas that needed more base coat...but working with a metallic its going to be near impossible to get everything to match up. I really think your going to have to spray a whole new color coat.
