Re: Tach needle

I was gonna look it up for you but I can't find my shop manual. I think my wife was cleaning ( cleaning <v.> 1. Moving your husband's shit from a perfectly good place an out of the way, hard to find location then denying you moved it at all) again.

The idle speed should be printed on the catalyst sticker under the decklid.

Re: Tach needle

After Friday I should have 2... and they both run and drive

I'd imagine if an 85 nose will fit an 88 (the weird one of the bunch) then they must all interchange.

Re: Tach needle

get the formula it is way quicker. My friend has a formula and I have a 4 speed, he hurts me everytime we race. My car is barely losing now that I have the mods in my sig.
