    Finally got my tach cluster put in my daily driver if for no other reason than to have the headlight buzzer

    Not really... The heads are slightly larger at the base but still 14mm. The threads are also slightly longer.

    I did only use a ratchet to torque them the first time... Used a snap on cordless impact @ 110 ft lbs the second time haha.

    I am guessing the Rio Lug bolts are a size bigger than the Festiva ones. lol

    Ripped its heart out, finally. Ended up triple checking everything and still forgetting the right heater core hose. Bent it up.

    Finally put my AC in!!! [emoji592] first time ever having air conditioning in a car. Gets pretty hot here in Naples,now I'll survive some. Mechanic said I should get a new accumulator & orifice tube to blow colder or better. Now I'm learning about air conditioning. Keep it on circulate air and AC button on. Gonna get this car back in shape.

    If you're looking for a decent horn, check out the ford freestyle. I plan on putting one on my car when I get a chance.

    Thanks for the information Brave, now if I could just find product numbers on this thing, I'd really like to make it nice again, while it doesn't leak now, I know eventually that it'll happen inevitably, and it'd be nice to have a stock pile of parts off to the side to just be able to repair it then and there

    Need to run new speaker wires to the doors, ones I was using was extremely cheap crap, so right now working with a janky setup of 1 door speaker on the driver's side, and 1 dash speaker on the passenger side until I can pick up some good speaker wire.

    Went ahead and put a horn from a Geo Metro in, the aftermarket one I had crapped out already. This is only temporary, would eventually like to get a decent sounding horn, I don't care for wimpy little meep-meep type horns.

    Also took the dizzy cap off to inspect the contacts and rotor. Rotor looked pretty bad so I cleaned it up with some sandpaper, and also cleaned up the dizzy cap contacts as well.

    Then put the support brace for the hood latch back on.

    Installed the Gorilla Automotive Parts wheel studs & lug nuts on the front .
    I had bought Empi studs but broke 2 when tightening the lug nuts, will not every trust Empi again , they were hollow.
    Gorillas are lifetime garunteed.
    Yeah I had bought those Gorilla ones as well, but too big to fit my Konig Incidents.
