Its this neat kit I bought. Works really good and is surprisingly easy to do, although a full size headlight does end up taking a while to do. Hey Blade, if you want me to do your FTPs, let me know as I would like to get some installed before and after pics.

Cant remember exactly but its something along the lines of "Headlight Restoration Kit" by 3M. I think its basically 20 bucks. I paid a little less since I get a discount.

**** that car Steve, it'll never get done, especially with that dumbass working on it who lives in Maquoketa.

Btw, if you drop those gaskets off tonight she could be ready to run by the end of the night. If not tonight, then Saturday.

Well, while working on Steve's car I came to a result that possibly his AFM has **** the bed. Does anyone in the area possibly have a working one that we could substitute to test this?

Well, like I said, I would like to just substitute one and try it. I've found another post on the forum from last year that a person was getting the same erratic readings as things one was, but without anyone to back whether that's right or wrong I can't really say if it's bad or not. In the sense a potentiometer should not jump like that, but the FSM or anything else does not say otherwise. The sweep resistance jumps too badly to seem to be good. What we should try to do Steve is measure the resistance off Brian's AFM and see if it does the same thing when moving the flapper door. At least then we'd get an idea.
