Re: Distributor vacuum advance diaphragm adventures

You don’t need them anyway, set your initial timing at 10 degrees BTDC and plug the lines use supreme gas and they work great.

Re: 2689 miles in 53.5 hrs

Most reliable car you will ever own. My wife and I drove across Canada back in 2011, we were gone 8 weeks and put 18,000 kms. on it completely trouble free, It had 685,000kms on it when we left home and 703,000kms. when we returned home. It now has 1,011,000kms. on it and still works perfect.

Re: What is this plastic piece on only one wiper arm?

It is on the right side wiper so if the wipers are pulled off the windshield and if you open the hood while they are out it will hit the hood and this rubber will protect from chipping the paint on the edge of the hood.

Re: Fuel Pump Failure

I replaced my fuel pump with a new one in February and it started doing the same thing, I bought another one and it worked fine, just because they are new, they can still be defective.

Re: Larger wheels/tires without a lift

I have 5 spoke 15” Miata wheels on my Terc with
185-55-15 tires and have no rubbing issues. What a difference in ride and handling they make.

Re: Photocell for Headlights?

I took a key alarm out of one I’d junked and hooked it up so when I open any of the doors and the tailgate if the lights are on it alarms. I haven’t left my lights on since, because as you know those key alarms in our cars are quite annoying sounding.
