Well the led project has stalled, I'm losing motivation.

So I pressure tested my fuel pressure and found it to drop pretty quickly after turned off. I decided to take a look under the plenum and cross my fingers.



FPR is bad, so I ordered one today from RA.

Wow I thought I updated this more recently.

I've installed the new fpr and the rough running is more sparatic now. I popped the hood one time when it was being a pain and could instantly tell one of the spark plug wires was leaking (you know what I mean, shorting to the block) found out it was the #3 wire and the coil to the distributor. So a full tune up is in order once I have a little cash for it.

Just for kicks I decided to mockup my now spare mini H1 projector in the clear H4 housings I have just to see how much space I'm going to have for when I can do a retrofit.

Needless to say I'm going to probably have to do some cutting to get these (which are quite a bit smaller than the FX-Rs) to fit.

Superbrightleds.com is a great place to find them.

Here is a link to the neo-wedge bulbs.
And a link to leds that I used in the gauges.

Don't forget that you will need to get some twist lock bases for the gauge lights that look like this.
(You can find these in fords at junkyards for cheaper.)

So I got my new spark plug wires in and on today. Tigger runs like a champ again (for now at least.)

I also decided to install a pair of extra hids in my reverse lights on the roof rack. I have a loose connection somewhere that I have to find, so they aren't working quite yet.
