fyi, ace hardware tends to have JIS hardware in their bins.

also, are those D/P (:heysexy:) markings left over from the original jdm configuration, and they just never changed the stampings for usdm? or did they update them for export to avoid this kind of confusion

My wiper arms don't look like they've ever been off, and the D is on driver, and P is on passenger.

the driver's wiper is 20" the passenger 16"

An 18" blade on the passenger side looks like it would rub the seal.

Partsouq lists different arms for 83-85 and 85-87. but 17/19 for all.

Reading all your carb fights and my own carb fights on the Lincoln got me looking heavily into EFI last night. unfortunately the 2 barrel kits basically cost the same as the 4 barrel, which is to say much money. I think i'm going to try a carb rebuild and wideband sensor first, i guess.

e: the longer arm definitely goes on the passenger side.

Bearing kits for trailers are cheap as hell. like $20 a side for bearings, races and seals.

probably not a huge worry with that light of a trailer but in general it's pretty cheap peace of mind when the failure mode involves metal melting and wheels seeking freedom.


I wonder if there's a way to seal the patina on the 55 without it degrading further.

In Canada’s Texas, trailer plates are permanent and once a trailer has a VIN nobody really cares which means there are a lot of 1970s “boat trailers” that look suspiciously like home made deck trailers.

That's looking pretty good.

i wish we had titles here. We have registrations, but they purged them all at some point so if something has been off the road since ~02ish it has to go through inspections.
