  1. Hmmmm. Doesn't sound like a factory switch. Made in China??? I'm guessing the wires and plugs all matched up ok? Not sure if the 260 switches are the same as a 280 (your's is a '78 280 according to your sig). You might want to verify with someone if the 260's are different. I know alot of the stuff for a '74 260 might work for a 75-76 280, but alot of stuff for the 77-78's aren't interchangeable with even the 75-76's... let alone a '74. Just a though...
  2. Most of the old 80's GM (and other) speedometers only went up to 85 mph. Personally, I like speedometers that go 140 to 160, even if I never drive that fast (often). I had a '78 Pontiac Trans Am with the 400 engine and 4 speed. The factory speedometer only went to 100 mph. I could peg that with no problem in 3rd gear, and have the needle go past that a couple inches when in 4th gear. To each their own
  3. To be safe, make sure ALL your rubbers are good (radiator & heater hoses, vacuum hoses, tires, and that thing some guys keep in their wallets in case they get lucky)
  4. It's possible you got a bad switch. Not sure what you mean by mounting funky though.
  5. Yeah, I can't argue with that. Have gone thru 4 starters in 2 years. This last one seems to be a good one (knocking on wood).
  6. LOL... Tard-O... A mustang with it's pants pulled up tight.
  7. I forgot about the Mitsubishi Starions with the turbo. Now that I think about it, and remember, I vote for the Starion/Conquest Turbo seats.
  8. I'd guess a Subaru, especially with the Turbo logo.
  9. I loved my Toyo's. Good grip, nice tread pattern, but they did seem to wear out fairly quickly. I had Federal's, which seemed to wear forever, but not the grip like the Toyo's. I probably will go with BFG's next.
  10. I had the exact same thing happen on a '78 I owned about 10 years ago, sticky goo and all. Got the module from U-pull wrecking yard for five bucks. Problem solved. Cheap.
  11. That video made me LMAO. Espcially with the Z doing wheelies. Great music to go along with it too. TFF!
  12. I wouldn't use it on the exterior, but using it on the iniside couldn't hurt.
  13. LOL. A quarter-back Z. Wonder if it would be faster with a dime? LOL.
  14. DOH!!! Hope you didn't spend alot for the eBay switch.
