Re: Dynoing the Car Tomorrow

And I know all three of the previous owners. I verified with them that nothing had been done to the car.

Re: Headlight Switch KNOB: HOW to remove??

Nevermind. Just had to pull the crap out of it with some vice grips. Naturally the black piece that screws in to hold the switch in place broke in the process though. :doh:
