probe blind spot?

well got my first probe a few weeks ago, a 1993se man do i like this car, just bought a 1986 5.0 a few days earlier, the probe will be my everyday driver.

so when i talked to a friend about my probe, it was mentioned on how they have a horrible blind spot, which i gotta say it's true, but i've always done this to all my cars.

a blind spot mirror on right side of rearview,

closeup view, it sure beats looking over your shoulder all is needed is a quick glance,

p.s. you might need a extra piece of 3m double sided pad on some rearview mirrors, and walmart sells the mirrors for .99 each

nice thinking.. ill add that too on mine if i can get it running.. lol i found out my fuel pump problem.. but now the battery dosent keep its charge.. i think my alternator is dead :( how much is a used one worth?

before you invest in a new alternator have them both checked, your autozones and others do it free of charge.

could be your battery, a dead cell or just could be time for a new one if it's a few years old or more.

and call around for prices, i bought my probe minus a muffer and was quoted $99 up to $199 so i ended up buying a,
thrush cherry bomb $25
a chome tip $10
2 clamps $3
a piece of 1/4" metal rod that i used for the hangers $3, total $46

haven't been to a bone yard in years so i can't really comment on prices for alternators.

as for the blind spot, that's the point of shoulder checking, every rookie doesn't shoulder check. Drive a new ford, theres no way that you cant, there A pillars are huge. Just trying to save you an accident and you can drive alot faster in traffic this way.
