    Anyone else's seat belt light not go out? I think I'm just going to pull the bulb. Its not like the seat belt input has any effect on airbag operation.

    Couple basic questions...96-98 Cobra

    Mobil 1 IS synthetic. GTX is one of the better dino-oils around. Check out Bob for some decent information. I use Mobil 1 and AC Delco filters (I'd use M1 filters, but they are $10 a hit) in everything I drive. Its simply a superior oil.

    Good to know about the speedo gears. Some of the noise I think is coming from a grumpy bearing on the input shaft......plus, there seems to be a fair bit of backlash in the rear end. Whoever built the rear end I don't think really knew what they were doing....both the pinion seal and rear...
