    Picked up a wrecked 97 for the motor - what else to keep?

    The radio/integrated climate control unit in the dash has a habit of going bad. Might want to keep it as a backup if nothing else (EATC) as mentioned above. Agree with ABS module also. Computer. Since the radio face is integrated with climate control...if you want the rest of the stereo system...

    Water Pump/Phaser/Etc Job Helpful Advice or Tips

    This. Also I have recently used Goo Gone caulk remover for some shower valve project. You can use this and permatex or someone probably has one labeled for rtv specific application. Just make sure it gets cleaned/rinsed before reapplication of rtv. As stated in post above, Bronze or brass...

    interior lights stuck on

    Those switches have been known to go bad. You can check the fuse but I have replaced more than one light/dimmer switch in these cars.

    How should I tune my mystery build? (with photos)

    Agree if you have an aftermarket MAF it will run poorly for the most part and with aftermarket cams even more pronounced. Replacing with oem MAF is a good idea. You really need to know what parts are in there. This is the issue with buying a project- completed or not- without getting relevant...

    How should I tune my mystery build? (with photos)

    I would look into tweecer with oem pcm and locating a tuner. You can go Quarterhorse but that might run a little more to get everything together. Contact shosource and see if they can recommend a tuner. They are Pac NW based in WA and have been around these cars for a long time. They sell...

    Tire life question

    How much are the lugs at the dealer or online discount oem parts? Rock auto has 6L2Z1012BA for sale $7+ shipping. That was a quick search for part number so verify that is the correct one for this vehicle. Maybe under $15 shipping for a whole set. You could always shop a Dorman replacement that...

    Battery slowly draining despite new alternator

    Obviously start with the recent work for correct voltage, operation etc. Then start looking for a short somewhere. There are strategies on how to methodically do this online and probably on this forum. I hate chasing electrical bugs. Made me get rid of my last low mile SHO.

    Tire life question

    I get it. I had to come to grips with this years ago with some brands/models of tire. The ones I like the most grip great and wear out faster than expected. Changing to a different brand is not illogical from a wear/cost per mile. I just drive a little quicker than most and want stopping and...
