People's signatures

As I visit various forums, it is kinda neat to read the "message" in people's signatures. I thought it would be neat to post some for entertainment and/or to make snide remarks about. ================== Gun control means hitting your target. Fight crime: shoot back. Honk if you've never se...

Re: Routing wires to dashboard -

I think I ran wires thru the E-brake grommet.
Just use an ice pick or similar tool and poke a hole in the grommet.

Re: Future emissions test - good advice???

My local emissions test guy sees a lot of vehicles and always ask if they did anything to help pass the test. He has found no item to work other than actual service/repair work. No magic chemicals or pills.
Except, for me to install a new ACDelco O2 sensor to pass after a test failure.

Re: heater control valve

Are you referring to the control valve that is under the floorpan near the drivers seat?

I believe that the vac line comes from the dash slider switch. Only 3 settings, off/lo/hi.
On my '93 the valve was difficult to turn off/on until I got it loosened up.

So THAT is why I have to steer it back to center ! ! !
But, at least the steering slop is gone.
