Electrical Tech / Re: 3G alternator/electric fan upgrade
Click on the PA Performance link in my post above. You can upgrade to a 200-amp for what looks like the same price. That makes it $1/amp...the same as the Auto Zone one, sure, but $200 for 130 amps, or $200 for 200 amps: which one's the better deal? Money definitely has everything to do with everything on a car and I'm not saying, "Don't buy parts store alternators, they suck." I'm just saying, be prepared to return it more often if you do. It's quite a hassle. And with the bad luck I've had over the past 2 decades with Ford's electrical systems, I've definitely learned my lesson to always get good stuff.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Re: Weatherstrip..anyone have part numbers?
Chuck, you're on to something man. This is going to be a hot item because we need weatherstripping available something fierce. I know I personally need some, and can't find good stuff at the boneyard. Don't let the lack of responses get to you...you're doing the right thing, and I'll help all I can.

Quote from: Bird351
Books are horrible, huh? I'd rather read the Thrawn books than watch most of the movies. Oh yeah.. books not part of the SW universe? Come play Star Wars Galaxies, a LucasArts/SOE product, where you can do missions for Thrawn.
I just talked to Yoda...he told me to tell you, "Control your anger."
ESB was directed by Irvin Kirshner; ROTJ was Richard Marquand. Weirdest thing about Empire was that the screenplay was a little over half done when the screenwriter (Leigh Brackett) passed away. So here was poor Irvin with a half-finished screenplay, directing the sequel to the biggest movie ever, filming in some of the worst winters recorded in Norway. Yet the film was brilliant. Why? The story. We CARED about the characters. Not so much with the prequels...the effects gave way to the plot. Most of the characters are throwaway. Too bad. I'm a firm believer that if the prequels were being made 10-15 years ago instead of today, they'd definitely have been more story-driven and not so dependant upon special effects. We loved the original trilogy because we loved the characters. We tolerate the prequels because they look good. That's the biggest difference. The movies jumped the shark a long time ago. They're a lot like Metallica's career:
SW = Kill 'Em All
ESB = Master of Puppets
ROTJ = ...And Justice For All
TPM = Black Album
AOTC = Load
ROTS = Reload? We'll see. ;)

Misc Tech / Re: WTF Do these go to?
Karl, that's the SPOUT connector you're talking about. That will always be by the TFI module (if it's distributor mounted).
As for our mystery connector...it's not coming to mind what it's for. The convertible was pretty much fully loaded when I bought it, and that was not connected to anything. I don't ever recall seeing it connected to anything, in fact. If I were to take a wild guess, maybe for full digital gauges? Perhaps a trip to the shop manuals will reveal its hidden agenda.

Keep the political and/or religious stuff out of here. It has no place. Carm and I let it go for the election but it obviously got out of hand. Well, election's over...some are happy, some are not. Life goes on. Cars need attention so start talking about them again. Mmmkay?
Class dismissed.
