Amazing what a screwdriver and "e-how" will do (How to Remove Pin Type Factory Windshield Wipers | eHow.com). Answered my own question and I really feel dumb. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Honest, I'm not stupid (although I feel like it) but I went to change my wiper blades today and realized I didn't know how to get the existing ones off! They're the "pin" type where each end is spring loaded and there is a pin running through the main hole of the blade. Could someone please...

As far as I know, Texas only requires the back plate so I have the cover on the front. Never been stopped.

Hi. I've got an 86 and I want to get my dash cluster reconditioned. It's not in bad shape, just missing a few lines on some of the numbers and I've got a dead spot between 30 and 45 mph. I see it offered at MidAmerica, Ecklers, even on Ebay. Some say it takes 2 days, some say up to 6 weeks. I...

Great write-up! I found the Dunlops @ tirerack.com and they're only $113 each. You're right about the BF Goodrich ... they're showing up everywhere. Thanks for the info.

Great Sources. Thanks!

I want to replace my tires on an 86 vert (P255 50R16). I have 2 Centennial Interceptor ZR-X tires (I have no idea who makes them) on the front. They're getting pretty brittle. I have 2 Mirada Sport GT (99V) on the back which I kinda like. I know these are made by Yokohama. I've always owned...

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.

The ECM controls the fan. I put in a new ECM when I replaced the englne.

I have an 86 with a new L98 engine. The fan works fine, coming on at about 175 which alot of you may think is low but it works for me. Normal operating temp is 200 - 220. But when you turn the A/C on, I'm told the fan is supposed to come on automatically, regardless of temp, which it does not...

86 L98. Can anyone tell me about the auxiliary fan (not the coolant fan) ... the fan that is in front of the radiator. I can't find anything about it in the FSM other than it gets its power from the same circuit as the coolant fan. The fan runs from the time you turn the key until the time you...

Now THAT'S Creative!:boogie

If only I could fit my golf clubs in the back (the 86 vert has no trunk either) I'd be in businss. At my age, I don't need anything else! <rotfl>

Whoa! I'm jealous. Great looking car! I know I can get 9k for mine as is, up to 11k if I'm lucky but they tell me I'll never get more than that even if I fix her up. The cosmetics won't bring me any more $$$. Mechanically, I couldn't ask for anything more, but from what I understand, there's...

TonyLong: That's a nice one you've got there! The engine cost me a little over 3. I figure the resto will run between 5 and 7k. I'm thinking about new wheels as well. The good thing is I don't have a car payment and I won't if I restore the 86. Ruby9340: I love the color you have! I just...

About a year ago, I bought an 86 vert off a guy who had blown the engine when he kept running with 0 oil pressure :duh Anyway I had a brand new LT1 put in the car (not a short block - a whole new engine). Mechanically, the car runs fantastic. I'd really like to get a little more HP by getting...

Hi. I'm a newbie and have owned an 86 vert since October 07. I bought it from a guy who blew the engine by driving it after the oil pressure dropped to 0. I got a good deal and within a week had a mechanic drop a new L98 engine in it. The car runs just fine, except for the "service engine soon"...
