Thanks Boss. I think I did well also. Got to spend some time behind the wheel this weekend. The car has some guts. Drives nice. Has some cowl shake. Considering installing a strut brace to help stiffen it up. Possibly a set of headers.

Score! Nice car! You did great IMHO and silver, I'm partial to it, hehe.
A side note, there was an appearance package for the firebird body consisting of lower trim around the whole car. Not sure what cars did or did not get it other than just being ordered that way. I usually see them on V6 cars but the package is kinda rare and the forumulas are rare as well so, not sure if available on formula but whenever I see the appearance package it always stands out to me.
Also, 95 was some what of a transition year as the ECM is OBD1 but the plug under the dash is OBDII.
Again, cool car, congrats!

I did the gear flip for the headlamps over the weekend. That fixed one of motors. Guess I'll buy the brass gears and fix both for good. Has anyone on here done this this repair?

Im kinda against the brass gear thing
if something binds the gear wont strip
and the motor overload may not take
the motor out.

I don't get it. I was under the impression that resistance is what turns the motor off.
