The Market / Re: Looking for Medium Red (aka Burgundy) Notchie Rear Clip, Decklid and Tail Lights

Thanks Paul. I have found a couple, but all are in need of paint, too. And are much farther away.
I'll keep you in mind. I may just hang up my lame brain idea, anyway.

If you're testing the circuit by using both wires at the fan, that may not work due to the ground coming through a closed sensor at high temperature. It would have to be grounded to the chassis somewhere up front.

84s have a two speed fan. Those may both be "hot" wires, for the two speeds (unless one of them is obviously a ground). I would check between each wire, and ground. Of course, I could be missing something, since I'm not there, looking at it.

The Market / Looking for Medium Red (aka Burgundy) Notchie Rear Clip, Decklid and Tail Lights

« on: March 23, 2024, 07:36:00 pm »

As the title says... I'm looking for a medium red (87-88) notchie rear clip, decklid (smooth... no wing. Holes for wing are okay) and tail lights.
Must have decent (but not necessarily perfect) paint.

Anyone?

Those of you who didn't attend today missed a good meal. At least most of us thought so. One attendee feels that he may have gotten food poisoning from his selection. He has been in contact with the restaurant and they have compensated him for the meal.

Aside from that, the service was an issue for most of us. Pricing was definitely a subject of discussion. The noise level was high and members had difficulty in conversing and conducting the meeting, but that's somewhat expected for a busy restaurant.

The proposal on the table is that we move the next meeting to the Cracker Barrel Country Store and Restaurant located at 2150 Delk Rd, Marietta, GA 30067.

Exit 261 off I-75. This is the Lockheed Dobbins AFB exit, Delk Road. The entrance is actually off Franklin Gateway.

Food poisoning? Holy smokes! I'm sorry to hear that. What did he have to eat?

Mine was good. No complaints other than the aforementioned...

it's warmed up a bit -- into the high 50's

This, too, shall pass.
But I hope we've seen the last of the bitterly cold weather. Same thing happened a year ago.

Where ya' want to run to?
It's not much nicer than this, even along the gulf coast, from what I've been reading. But I like the idea.

General Fiero Discussion / New A/C Evaporator Cores are available.

« on: January 10, 2024, 09:42:48 pm »

I have always (well, at least for the past few years) understood that new evaporator cores for our cars were no longer available.
It appears that I was mistaken. Or if not, someone has picked up the torch...

The part number is 3090045.
FleaBay shows them for $290.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/265664217000

Amazon has them for $345.

Edit - Since it's going down to 16 degrees F in west GA next week, I figured this was a timely message.
