    Had the passenger side turn signal and parking light die on me, and the housing looked a bit bad. Took the housing off, found a lot of crud under the attaching screws, so it had a bad ground. I cleaned all that up, dressed up the socket and got shiny metal, put in a new bulb and it now works fine. I also had a wire that was suspect, so fixed the connector, and it all works well. Something all the time!

    Installed my new wheels and tires. 17x8 4.50" bs and 17x7 4.00" bs with 245/45/17 rear and 225/45/17 front BFG sport comp 2 tires. The wheels are US mags Rambler, and I no longer need the .25" spacer that I used on my old wheels...

    the Guy at the alt shop commented that it appeared the alt belt was slipping. I went by the parts store and picked up another idler pulley and re-figured the belt system. got a longer belt and now all the pulleys are wrapped a little tighter...:thumbs2:

    Drove it! First real drive with plates and insurance out on the highway. 65-70 mph smooth down the road. Loving the 302/C4 combo, reminds me of my Baricuda from highschool on these same roads.
