Got new gauges installed. Now I need to figure out why the AC compressor runs all the time. Only when the electric fan turns on.

Been wrenching on blue bimbo again. It looks like need to replace the brake booster. I've never done one before. I planned on changing brake fluid this year anyway...

Symptoms are, when I push the brake pedal down I hear a hissing sound.

Hopefully it's not a pain to do!

Do you have a machine to do the brake fluid? My brake fluid in my fox is nasty looking.

Yup, I used it on the cobra. Should hopefully be the same size MC cap.

Headlights! Went with the ultra smoke. Look way better than what I had, but the performance isn't even better than the old foggy ones. Not the best picture, but its something to look at. Shows difference of old and new. Some interior updates coming this weekend.

Scored a new Crane ignition box on eBay for 128 bucks. Currently have a MSD 6a that's been on the car since 03. I was told it's likely from the late 90's.

I also purchased a screaming demon coil. But it looks like I need to replace the brake booster first...

Is Crane supposed to be better? I always thought most with went MSD. I did hear in recent years though MSD quality isn’t as good as it used to be.

I've heard yes. I also heard the MSD quality has gotten bad over the years. Some say it's built in China. Many don't recommend running MSD. I have very old stuff.

Crane doesn't do ignition stuff anymore, FAST took over.

You've been really busy with your Fox, Brady. I hope you soon get to start to enjoy driving it.

Cleaned the spare wheel well. Hopefully I'll gain some more HP. ;) Only did this because I replaced the tail lights. Also upgraded to a SVE shorty shifter. Also installed the cupholder center console. Just a mockup for now as I need to still get it painted.
