Seat belts don't lock?
Hi guys, I recently bought a 91 N/A Fc. It seems like none of the seatbelts "lock" when I pull them really fast. Are they all broken or do the seatbelts for my model/year just not lock up?

The seatbelts rely on a change in intertia to lock the mechanism. So, just yanking on it won't activate it. Get up to 10mph and stomp on the brakes to test if they lock up.
It is possible that they are in fact broken, so use your best judgement.

i notice new cars have seat belts that lock much faster than older cars.
