    headlights what one for DD

    Buy a set of PAL ecode lights off ebay, their cheap, but as good as hella. I can't tell the diff in them. They send a set of bulbs along with them. I'm running 80/100 and don't seem to blind anyone when aimed right. Plug & Play. But you need to upgrade your wiring, which if you want good...

    New door pocket option....tell me what you think =)

    I have a clip holster that will fit in there perfect as is. It's just the right depth/width as is. Just add them cup/bottle holders and build a reverse clone for the pass side & I'm ready to order.

    New door pocket option....tell me what you think =)

    At 2 1/2" D it will not readily accept a pop/beer can . I just measured a couple and they are 2 5/8" diameter. Most small water bottles exceed 2 1/2 also. I'd go to 3" D provided the seat doesn't cause interference.

    steering column up and down wiggle

    Like Tim said in post #4, use the Elcamino write he referenced for easy guidance instructions. And yes there are four screws that need to be tightened. Do it soon so they don't come out and lock up your column in a turn. It's a fairly easy procedure, with step by step photos. Just did mine last...

    Smoke from ground wire...

    If you disconnect that smokin wire from the firewall & start the vehicle, what happens? Does it run? If it starts & runs leave it unhooked. If not trace the wire & find out where its coming from.

    upgrading headlights?

    I just bought the Auto pals. I bought the 24.95 set with 55/60 bulbs as standard, but, for some reason they threw in the 90/100 instead. I'm not complaining, they were easy installs, I upgraded to 2 relays and 12 AWG wire, and what a diff. They are almost indistinguisable from my hella's.

    Dorman Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I have one of those. Mine sounded like a rod was going out, but, it was a small chunk of gasket missing on #6 cyl. Bottom manf nut had worked loose a little so it started pass-un gas & eventually blew the piece out.
