    You may want to head over to the Crossfire forum. Lost of people there with modifications. http://www.crossfire.homeip.net/ From what I have read about your type of conversion. The stock O2 probably will not work. I think you need to go with a heated O2. I'm not sure on the effect of the MSD...

    Defroster Vent Question.

    First with the A/C on feel one of the pipes coming from the the compressor. It sould be cold. Second feel the hose that goes to the shut off valve (near the passengerside rear of the engine)...should be a temp difference on one side if its working. Third, make sure the flap in the core box...

    Defroster Vent Question.

    Its not a one way. Its there to trap any oil or crud that may escape from the engine. The vacuum part operates the ports tha direct the heat/cool air to the various vents. Thats the upper control on your switch. It also contols the cut off valve on one of the heater core hoses (upper...

    Power Door Locks

    Have you tried swapping the switches. The important one is with the tan wire. If that one is not working it won't let the power through. Jim

    Power Door Locks

    You realize the power lock switches work in series. If one is out the other won't work. Both must be connected for them to work. Jim

    car has a miss

    I would try decarbonizing the intake with a good cleaner for starters. If that doesn't work...My guess is fuel delivery related...possibly a fuel filter. Worse case scenario would be the fuel pump. Do you have access to a fuel pressure guage? Do you have a couple of ignition wires crossing...

    How hard is it to recover old seats?

    If its just a seam you can sew it. Order some hog ties and get your self a set of hog tie plyers first. Cut off the existing hog ties...remove the cover from the foam and repair it. Then reinstall with the hoge ties...just that alone will make hug difference in appearance. Jim

    wiper arms

    Each wiper arm sites on a theaded shaft. There is a clip under the wiper arm where it sites on the shaft. You can pull the wiper arms off by pushing on the clip. You can then reposition them. Its possible the threaded shaft is stipped on one or both of the wipers. If this is the case you will...

    Headlight vacuum hose check

You will see a couple of hoses that go in to a round orfice and then a single hose that goes into the manfold. Unplug the orfice and plug the hose going...
