Is there any mechanics/tuners near chicago? I have a few issues with the car and some performance mods i will do and need it to get tuned.

I have weird electrical problems...... I forgot what fuse it is (at work now) but it keeps buning out. The dash lights never work, but the clock only works when my headlights are off?

When i turn the wipers off they go down and then move back up about 4 - 8 inches.

When i run the ac or heat, it feels like the ac clutch engages for 3-5 seconds then stops 3-5 seconds. When it does that the revs will drop them go back up. Even on the highway crusing at 70 it does it.

The alternator (yeah i know these cars love to eat them) light was on forever then one day i just hammered on it through 3rd and its been of since then.

What is the advantage of converting my 90 sho to use a 94-95 alternator? is it really hard?

Sorry thats a lot but thats just the main problems.

For mods i will want to do BBB, y-pipe and have some questions on the break upgrade. What is the stock breaks now? Is the 11.6's worth it? I mainly drive like an ass, go fast and stop fast. nothing like a road course though. i will do the catback later

For the converstion it gets you more amps. Unless you have a large stereo system it wont help much on a daily driver. There is some wiring and modifications involved.

If you get BBB's I would port the intake at the same time.

For the 90 you have 10.2 brakes. Upgrading to 11.6 is worth it for a daily driver.

As always thank your for the swift and knowledgeable response!
Any idea in the cost to port our intake? Do i have to get it gasket or something matched to the BBB?

Just come to St. Louis BBQ next weekend, drink with us and get you ears talked off about EVERYTHING you could ever want to know SHO.
OR use the search button.
OR Dons Garage 1229 Algonquin rd Arlington Hts, former gen II owner that solves anything Neno and I cant/get to drunk to figure out.
OR you said car was at home which means it's not a daily driver, contact James and give it to him this winter if he has the space on the schedule.

We do gasket match the intake. The porting also takes full advantage of the BBB's.
