    Just checking prices, Pick-N_pull wants $16 for TPS. Just found Rockauto has a new Motorcraft sensor for $24 on closeout. Added the discount code I found here & I just ordered one.

    EDIT: Just checked on the coil price. PnP wants $12... Motorcraft closeout $10.51!!!

        Question: The tach cluster looked good, but the front cover was broken. Does anyone know if the cover from the non-tach cluster will fit?

              The non tach cluster cover will not fit UNLESS you drill a small hole for the mileage reset post. check the air intake tube, if it's not cracked or torn, snag it, if yours cracks it's good to have a spare. Good luck.
              An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                  Next time your at that car grabbing parts, check to see if that top slides forward and back and a price if possible. Thanks

                    Is someone actually wants it, I am happy to pick it up. Otherwise I'm not willing to put out the cash right now.

                      The frame was bent & cracked in multiple places.

                        Tach Cluster acquired...







                        It had a few more cracks that I originally thought, but I saved all of the pieces. With a new front cover, it looks like it should work fine.

                          I also got the 2 front door pockets. Very dirty, but in nice shape. Since I don't need them, they are up for grabs.

                            I also tried to get inside to get pic of the rag-top. Glass & parts everywhere, so the pic is not good. Were they all ASC? Or was this an aftermarket install?




                            Either way, it would not move.

                              I wonder who built that car.
                              Current cars:

                              1993 Ford Festiva 5-Speed - Festiclese III - Cousin of the Banhammer - "The Jalopnik Car"
                              1984 Toyota Cressida - 2JZGE Swap, Turbocharged.
                              2013 Mazda Mazda2 - Exhaust and Wheels (the daily)
                              2002 Toyota Tundra - V6/Auto/2WD - The Tow Vehicle.
