Re: How many brake light switches?

Re: Climate control, all defrost all the time.
I've been all over and cannot for the life of me find where that vacuum line connects at the plenum. I *THINK* I found it under hush-panel, tied with a bundle of wires. I can only just see a small...

Climate control, all defrost all the time.
I've been through the service manual and cannot seem to find the right way to diagnose this. Wonder if I could get some guru help.

Re: Driving old cars fast..

Re: What's your plate say?
Mine says "A ZR1".
Well, if you go through "myplates", the private contractor, that is true. And you'll pay more if you want 6 characters instead of 5, or even 7 characters.
