That was the only way I could put the seal that made sence. Do you have a photo of one seated properly. These were missing that part when I got them.
Edit. Unless you mean how the seal slips under the retaining clip. In that case I have already fixed that.Last edited by Chobobulous; 08-14-2014, 06:16 PM.

I'm still cleaning up the "new" 91 under the hood, and detailing a few parts with some chrome paint-
I knocked a fusible link loose and took a bit wondering why it wasn't firing- relieved it was only that
silencer and canister both gone now and lines plugged- runs great-
found the sending unit under the rear carpet- thinking it might be that when it was down- may replace eventually anyway-
got new cap, rotor wires and gas filter and air filter ready- new plugs are in
evaluating tire/wheel situation
have to check heater blower
and theres a noisy exhaust leak somewhere underneath I haven't been able to check yet
summer in florida and I'm HOT and TIRED!Last edited by harpon; 08-17-2014, 04:12 PM.

Sooo my car died an hour and a half from my house, theres some sort of alignment issue with the serpentine belt so it ate 3-4 belts to get home. Heck on the way back we replaced the stock BP alt with a KLDE one. Heres my friend hammering inside the wheelwell to get clearance for the alt throughbolt.Attached Files1993 Festiva L "Wendy" BP n' stuff
