    My newest toy

    Since Marck got himself that 90 vette I couldn't let that slide, had to have one of those C4s myself...and I got a Quasar Blue 91 with a 6 speed manual LOL.

    Low fuel light with aftermarket gauges

    I found a neat way to get a working low fuel gauge with aftermarket gauges. All you need is a VDO make point switch, it's from their ocean line series and is part number X10-719-002-037.

    TH400 lost 2nd gear

    If I manually set it in 2nd so it won't shift to 3rd it the engine basically freewheels, there's little or no drive. When I mash the throttle the revs go up quickly and the car pulls a little but it's mostly a sensation of freewheeling. I hope it's not the lugs, then I won't be able to fix it...
