new owner - help

several questions about my '88 convertible:
every time I turn off car, I hear 5 beeps, what's that?
I have no internal lights, I saw it on one time in 1 month, where should I check?
what's the normal oil pressure for a N/A?
can anybody tell me models of NGK spark plugs used for leading and trailing?
where can I find a cold air system? (if used, better)

thanks everybody for your time and patience

For a cold air intake for cheap you could try ebay, but beware there alot of crappy bootleg one on there.

well when u start your car it will prob jump up to 60 on the oil pressure. it should go down to about 20 at idle, maybe a lil lower. and at wot should go up to about 60, maybe a lil higher.

BUR9EQ AND BUR7EQ from NKG they're marked with T for trailing and L for leading..

also just in case since you don't seem to me very knowledgable the Leading are the bottom ones and the Trailing are the top ones

The rotor housing is also marked.. i believe the normal oil pressure is around 80 - 100 psi anything over 1000rpm

Hope that helps.. Also you might wanna get a Haynes

what are the beeps like? are they all the same pitch, or different? do they happen one after the other, or are there pauses?

That would be Trailing and Leading... not top and lower.

and beeps are covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread at the top of this 2nd gen tech section as well as your light issues.

Please read the FAQ for FC before posting.
