    temp guage not registering

    Okay here is the deal. My 78 elco had a long speedo .I swapped it for for round ones. Reconfigured the plug. The temp guage still doesn't work. And it has a new sender for a guage. Do these guages go bad? or a defective sender? Any thoughts are welcomed. Thanks, Jason

    86 LS front swap

    So I just acquired a85 MC. Going through the local boneyard this weekend I found a86 LS. Needless to say I bought the nose and bumper.The Fenders were crap and the trim was missing off the fenders. Question is. Are the Fenders the same and where can I get the trim?

    Ridetech

    That helps alot.with the 5 inch drop on the front of my car my drivers side header scrapes the ground when you hit a bump and it bounces.from what ridetech is telling me you can't drive it fully inflated. How much ground clearance do you have at "driving height "?

    lowered the elco and the tires rub terrible

    That's what I couldn't figure.the blazer spindles should have not made it any higher. But it was a good inch higher in the front.

    lowered the elco and the tires rub terrible

    I only have 4 fronts.I'm good with getting rid of the inner fenders. My fear is the fenders themselves getting ruined.
