All gas should be so lucky to be in that beauty of a Mirada.

blow the picture up and you can see a little + to the left of the red cable's lead connector

that would be tragic if they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't start and it just be the battery

...and the right lifts the left, and the left lifts the right and a little more

Spark Control is the new and improved name for Lean Burn after Lean Burn customers got burn-out syndrome.

Agreed. These cars came from the factory "customized" in the way of half vinyl tops, opera lamps & windows... all that was from an earlier time that trickled into mainstream production. Under all that baloney is a pretty nice body design, for the coupe M cars particularly. Mine already had it's...

My only complaint is that they act immediately instead of a soft on / soft off for the amber flash. New Mazdas seem to have fixed that, their turn signals use LEDs on a smooth increase/decrease of intensity... this gives the viewer's eyes a longer reference point whereas the instant on/off kind...

LED turn signal bulbs in position of: All lights are turned off Running lights on Turn signal activated at first Turn signal goes amber Turn signal turned off Running lights resume

I use E-code lamps but l dont have a rectangle set yet. My round lite F body car has them and the lens light pattern is much more even and direct with a distinct oncoming traffic cut off than SAE fuzzy beam lites that are the standard for US cars. The E-codes still use an incandescent bulb, not...

I put in these new LED lites that turn from white to amber when the turn signal is on for my 79. In the running lamp position of the headlamp switch, its almost like they are thin headlights... l like the look

Take off the vinyl roof and the crossover band, grind off the stubs for the trim clips and go with paint, l like that better

Like them or not, the original over-the-headlight turn signal was on the 1977 LeBarons. It was updated in 1980. This later design wrapped the lens up and over the top of the bezel and repeated at the rear fenders with the taillights/reflectors that ran up onto the top of the fenders. These were...

I suspect the arrow is misplaced. I think it should be pointed downward more to the J2 circuit wire. I thought it was interesting, the end result would be no wire grounding the coil, a blasphemy of epic proportions in an electrical service manual.

I found an error in the 1978 Electrical Service Manual "Ignition System" wiring diagram, on page HNFG 8 in the wiring diagrams section. It would appear there is no wire going from to the negative coil post from anywhere on Slant 6 models. In the orange box, it says "8 cylinder" with no other...
