Here's a couple of pix of mine, with and without the cover :-" And it is for the aux fan, one way you can be sure of that is to turn on the A/C :-k The aux fan should come on with the A/C on [-o< Looks like yours has (had?) some custom wiring there, that black jumper doesn't look factory :roll:

Cerakote is similar to Powder coating, except much much thinner and also high temp
OK, so not powder, applied as a liquid but also baked on :-k

I guess I could just Google it and find out :roll:

Smog test prep reveals heat related damage and deferred maintenance

Yes, I will once again try to go through a "legal" smog test, which up until a few years ago was not a problem, until the glorious state of CA decided to fail me due to non-CARB compliant headers :twisted: What started as a simple check of the air filter and checking out the spark plugs, I...

Re: FREE M10 copper lock nuts for exhaust manifolds

Darn Bert, I thought you were gonna take them off my hands :roll:

Well, I ran the P/N in realoem and it turns out that they are for attaching the downpipes to the manifolds, amongst other locations :-k

So 12 would be more than enough to get that job done :-"

Re: Rear window only goes down, never up

You might want to try cleaning the switch itself :-k

After working on my passenger side motor, the window was still slow moving :-?

But cleaning the switch with a quality electronic contact cleaner, it moves up and down as it should, now \:D/

That doesn't sound correct, the later series 2 cars have bigger/wider fender flares than the series 1 version :-k
