I just spent my weekend trying to get my aftermarket oil pressure gauge to work corry, turns out the dash speaker was causing it to misbehave.......now I'm waiting on parts to make the wipers work........ I should have just put the new torsion bars in and forgot the rest

I AM JAMES OLIVER IN FLORIDA AND I BOUGHT MY MIRADA NEW IN 83 AND I HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER A 318 IN 83 CAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO GET A 318 CAUSE ALL THE OTHERS WERE SIX CYLINDERS AND I DIDNT WANT ONE. I WISH I COULD FIND SOME NOS OR CLOSE TO BUY PARTS I NEED LIKE NEW BELT MOULDINGS AND THE PART NUMBER IS 4175380 AND 81 SO IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE DO . I KEPT EVERYTHING THE WAY I PURCHASE IT EXCEPT TWO YEARS LATER I CHANGE THE COLOR TO VIPER BLUE AND A LOT OF GUYS FOR THE FIRST TIME NOTICE MY CAR AND WOULD TALK TO ME JUST ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK . IF YOU CAN HELP IN ANY WAY PLEASE EMAIL ME AT jo71gtx@yahoo.com and my other dream is to take my 81 IMPERIAL AND CHANGE THE INTERIOR DASH LAYOUT JUST LIKE THE MIRADA SINCE BOTH CARS ARE THE SAM EXCEPT FOR THE TRIM AND REAR TREATMENT AND I KNOW A CHRYSLER MASTER THAT CAN DO IT FOR ME SO I AM JUST WAITING THAT SOMEONE WILL HELP ME THE COLOR OF THE DASH I WANT IN THE WOOD LOOK . YOUR CAR LOOKS GREAT AND I WISH 12 YEARS AGO I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT TWO MORE MIRADAS FOR MY FUTURE PLANS , JAMES

So you painted your car viper blue in 1985? Interesting.

Pair of 15x8 cop car wheels to go in the back. One of my Magnum wheels has a trashed lug flange....

I spent two days chasing my wiring for the Overdrive. Finally got it working right, shifts automatically or with the kick of a switch. I just need to get the Overdrive kickdown figured out...

Does yours have lockup? Gets a little more complicated, but not bad. I have kickdown setup with a pressure switch on the trans and an adjustable vacuum switch under the hood. This setup will also hold 4th gear upshifts until a predetermined speed.

 

[80mirada]

I don't have the lockup, I just need to get the vacuum switch. I also need to adjust my speedometer a little more, seems to be about 5mph slow

Working on getting the AC compressor mounted finally

 

[80mirada]

compressor brace and alternator bracket modified

Looks like it could have rolled off the line with that motor in it.

 

[80mirada]

That is kinda the goal
