    Nice Elusive!

    My air intake got delivered to me while I was out picking up a full Aspire swap for Rustiva. Got more than I need with it too, the struts and springs and LCA's...hmmm...future Capri swap for Raltiva??

    Performed the Bebandit LED dash light mod in amber. Also replaced the passenger-side drive axle.

    Filled it up. Up to 39 MPG this tank. Driving the same I have been, but I moved the distributor a bit. Seemed to have found a sweet spot on the timing. More power and better mileage.
    I found a beauty ring at a junkyard today. Only one, though I still bought it, hoping that three more randomly show up in my front yard.

    Picked up a new-to-me rear axle and dome light. Hope to install them Friday at lunchtime. Will still have to bleed the brakes after that. Maybe install the new timing belt next week from RockAuto (ought to order it tomorrow, huh?)

    Swapped the rear struts... again. Installed the two stage tstat! I'm trying to get better mpg by getting into the operating range. Changed the plug wires, distributor, and the coil trying to chase down my stumble. It wasn't the wires or the coil. Didn't get to see if it was the disty yet. Tomorrow is my last day to iron out anything before a 2200 mile trip. getting an alignment at 9:30 am tomorrow.

    Installed the horn from a Crown Vic / Grand Marquis. Tons better than the stock one. Good bye bicycle horn!

    I removed the rack and pinion (lasted 250,000 miles) from JunkYard Save and mailed it off to be rebuilt. Was not that hard to remove but I sure dread the job of putting it back in. (I did not remove the steering column and I hope I can get it back it without removing it.)
