Added new fender marker lights and replaced this old green flasher unit for a new one. Now I have working turn signals.

Changed the distributor cap and the rotor.




Took the Air intake system off to access it easily, and learn how to do it for when I do it to adjust the valves.

Unfortunately the idle has been rough ever since.... Gahh.
 
Replaced my non functioning lights in the rear Defrost button.

Left one is the OEM housing and Incandescent bulb. Right is the LED replacement from Superbright LED.

You need to straighten out the wires and pull the incandescent bulb so you can swap the LED into the OEM housing.

You will need 2x per defrost button (green face light and orange "ON" light)

I used 2x NEO3-NWHP from superbrightLEDs.com in natural white color.

Cheap mod. $9 with shipping.

Put the finishing touches on my new front bumper.

Any tricks on pulling that switch apart without breaking it?

Getting the AC dash bezel off to get the electric plug undone was the hardest part. The switch itself is pretty tough. One banana job for sure.

Added a JimC pulley and his other desmog goodies. Used @Borick ’s online guide which made everything super easy. In the end, after a slight idle mixture screw adjustment it was purring like a kitten. Vacuum numbers are up and I’m pleased with the results!
