Re: A/C coolant fan not running

Have you checked the fan swtich? It is located on the passenger side head, right above the starter. If it went bad (which is pretty common) that might be the cause of your issue.

Stock side markers

Just curious if anyone actually needs some side markers (front and rear)? For some reason, I have a few extra sets. I have no need for them anymore. If you need some, let me know.

Re: 1992 headlight issue

With the symptoms you describe, my gut instinct still points me to the headlight control module and/or the plug/wires that connect to it. Something in that area is messing up.

Re: Driver Qual 91 Trans Am T5 Vortec Hotcam Pro Flo XT in UK London!

PVC is not good with engine bay temps. I would highly suggest replacing that very soon. Other than that, you have done a very nice job with the build. Keep it up.
