    also too hot conditions are only in summertime when it’s over 85, most days in Sacramento run 95 -105 in summer. even then it does not overheat on freeways, but 90% of my driving ends up being through traffic and street driving - that’s where overheating can occur.

    I went to Home Depot and found a stainless steel tapered screw that matches the headlight rim screw on the rh side headlight, and bought the clips that were missing from sunbeam specialties.

    Loose Headlamp issues - how to fix?

    Don’t know if I a, accidentally posting this twice, if so my apologies.

    big sparks off battery when I try to charge it? Wiring issue?

    Battery kill switch was on, and I did not connect the battery charger first to the battery before plugging in. I dont have a voltmeter, but when my neighbor gets back in town I will borrow his and check it with the kill switch on.

However- recently I noticed the battery seemed...

    Say, is the Carter P4070 the very best Electric fuel pump to put into an Alpine? I need to replace mine, and read this thread. I see the price is pretty low on the unit, so I'm wondering is there a higher model that either runs cooler, runs quester, or is simply better? I only want to do this...
