    dash lights stay dim even when turn all the way up

    My dash lights and overhead light are very dim (on my '84 BII), even when the headlight knob is turned to maximum. Turning the knob will turn them on or off, but they will not brighten. I replaced all the bulbs with new LED's and the problem is the same. Is this a problem with the...

    What center cap goes with these OEM wheels?

    Does anyone know what center cap came with these wheels? Looking on the Bay, I see chrome and black center caps that look like they would work. But, what was the original? I'm looking to buy a set. [/IMG]

    Valve stem seals replacement vs. new heads

    I replaced the valve stem seals on my '84 a few weeks ago. The seals cost about $10, but the job was a bitch to do. If you have A/C, like I do, It's almost impossible to remove the last two seals on the passenger side. My old valve seals were the originals, and had 142k miles on them...

    Hard to start after DuraSpark

    My engine seems to run fine now that I've done the DuraSpark, but it is difficult to crank (hot or cold). Before DuraSpark, the engine started easily, but ran poorly. Now, I have to pump the gas, and keep the accelerator pedal floored to get it to crank. What problems should I be looking for?

    Paint job for the BII

    How do you think my BII would look with a paintjob like the blue Toyota FJ cruiser? I have a blue interior, so sticking with blue colors would probably be best. I think the white top might look cool. What do you think? [/IMG]

    Valve stem seals replacement

    I've been replacing the valve seals, and I don't know how I'm going to be able to get the last two done on the passenger side. The problem is the a/c box is so close, I can't get my valve spring compressor tool positioned. Any suggestions? Also, for you mechanics, just curious as to how...

    On Saturday, July 10, I ordered $375 worth of parts from NAPA online. I immediately received an email with my order confirmation. By Thursday, July 15, I had not received a shipping confirmation. I went online to check my order status, and it was still "pending." I called NAPA customer...

    I'd like to replace original steering wheel on my '84 BII with a newer steering wheel. My BII has cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Will the steering wheels from newer Ford Explorers (with cruise control) work on the BII? Or any other Ford vehicles? Has anyone done this...
