    Loss Of Dome Light, Door Chime And Radio Power

    So after doing a new headliner in my 1992, the dome light will not come on, with door open or by button, the door chime is not coming on and there's no power at my academy player. I'm not sure what I would have done to cause this while doing the headliner. The only wiring I touched was the wires...

    Advantages Of Aftermarket A-arms?

    I drove it with FRPP C springs and no CC plates for maybe 1-2k miles, I just put on MM CC plates before the tires and wheels. And I have no clue as to why it would eat them up otherwise. They were factory replacement, not stress. And I'd be lookin at something like UPR honestly, with the money I...

    so i went to get an alignment after new wheels and tires yesterday, and the tech said that i needed new ball joints on both sides. im calling bull, since i just had new ones installed less than a year ago and i have been gone most of that time due to the Military, so it has maybe seen 2k miles...

    Advantages of CC plates?

    I'll have to keep that in mind. I really like the idea of the pimp setup, and it's simplicity. So we'll see what happens down the road. I've got a few projects before that.

    Advantages of CC plates?

    I've heard of it, as well as the pimp, but don't know anything about the quarter horse. But I'm all ears. I'm also at a point at the project where I'm sick of spending money, so cheaper is better lol

    Advantages of CC plates?

    dont get me wrong, I like it too. I'll probably like it a bit more after an eventual mega squirt and some other little tweaks, and eventual muffler delete. The way I have the motor built has tons of potential, I just need the supporting computer and air mods that will come down the line. Also...

I have a set of MM CC plates sitting in the box that I've never had time to get around to doing. From what I've been told, there's really no advantage to them Other than alignment range...

    Lincoln Mark VII 8.8" in a Foxbody?

    So I've been looking at piecing my 5-lug swap together, and ran across a Mark VII 8.8" with discs for a cool $100. I know they are wider, possibly too wide. Anyone running them? Worth the hassle, or should I look for a SN95 unit?
