Norbs sad news to hear. We're getting to the age in life where the elders are passing on & we can only keep carrying on with the memories. Be happy that you had the chance to say goodbye to her in person & be with her when it happened. I'm sure it was comforting to her as well as for you. RIP Momma
If you have the Pin removal tool then your choices are endless & if not I would order one from Caspers. If you do a lot of wiring work (to clean stuff up for added guages etc.) then the full kit with connectors for every pin size & both Pin tools is a deal at about $100.
It's been a few years but 29 sounds right? You might find some useful info on these 2 sites.

Also check the ground wire. I have an added fuse box on back of the glove compartment & once in a while when I start the car or hit a big bump it will beep so I open & close the glove box to get it to reset & I'm pretty sure it's just the ground wire. I don't mind because this way I know it's...
Don't forget about Mike who has been around since the very beginning!
He & Marianne are both glad to pick up the phone & chat!

Mike good to hear you might show up. I have so much stuff on my car & in my engines from you that I will mostly be looking for hats T shirts & the odd small parts. I still have that link in my favourites!
Hey Mike, I was just going to head over to FT Forums to load the latest version on my new home laptop!
I remember those old threads now that you mention it. Thanks & maybe I'll see you at an event this summer?
Thanks Earl! MAP is fine on PL.
I've not given the car much attention over the last 3-4 years but heading to BPG in 2 weeks got me interested again.
I had a BSTC for a good 10+ years but for the last 4 years would not work properly & drove me NUTS!
Now hoping this ball-spring setup I'm adding...
