    Air Filter parts

    I have a question about the damper position for the Thermac. I have tested the Thermac with a vacuum tester and it closes with vacuum. So, i need clarification as to the damper position when the engine is started and cold - Is damper open or closed? Mine is open on cold start, so taking air...

    Mystery wire

    Yes if I pull on the blue wire, it appears to be spring loaded. I wish when the accessories are removed, the wiring guys would remove the non-needed wire. So, since it is very apparently not powering anything, it would be safe to disconnect at the connection point where the blue and orange...

    Seat Belts

    If you are looking for an old OE style 3 point, I have one that I could send you if interested. It is the drivers side. Needs some cleaning up. You could recolor the cover and reweb to your preferred color. I think the retracting springs need some attention also. I had my OE seatbelts...

    Darn AC vent

    I had to disconnect the duct that runs from that vent to the middle of the dash, disconnect it and then put it back in place, Takes some finagling to pull the duct back/out. Then you can push the vent back into the dash and drop down. May have to remove the light switch. But it does come out.

    The bright trim in the front and rear window seal has shrunk over the years and I would like to replace the trim. Can it be done without removing the window?

    Inquiring minds want to know.....

    Yeah, I have thought about that. But I run into the same problem. Usually the rear is trashed. I have an aftermarket diamond plate step on it now. Years ago my dad had the original replaced because it was bent and for what ever reason put on the step, which I have hated. If i cannot find a...

    Under hood paint suggestion

    Went to HD, Lowes & Ace hardware. No one had the Rustoleum Hard Hat. So ended up getting Rust-Oleum Automotive. Only came in a gloss black. So far, doesn't look so bad.
