[QUOTE=85blkcpe]I'm hoping to get my 85 on the road for an upcoming show.  I replaced all the gaskets, and now am having issues with windows going up and down and with the door closings. Also, the mirrors move down, but not up or in and out.[/QUOTE]

that is a problem i am having with my windows too. replaced all the gaskets when we painted the car. just latched the doors for the first week and then started closing them. the rear window stayed up about four inches the first day and the next day it was down about an 1". the third day we started closing it.

my windows are having a bit of trouble going up and we will be working on them this week. if you need any questions answered or find out an easy way to adjust them let us know.

as far as the mirrors, did this problem just start? maybe the contacts in the plug or switch are dirty. maybe even the switch is bad. are both mirrors having problems?

[QUOTE=sundew]Chasing down an intermitent miss...changed the fuel filter....actually, I watched, Norsky did all the heavy lifting....didn't solve the problem....installing new spark plug wires....stay tuned.
 
Hopefully some of the pre-sale improvement projects for the '74 will be completed this weekend.

The miss is still there after replacing the plug wires. Significant corrosion was found on two of the wires were they plugged into the ignition system. The corrrosion had also spread to the Opti-Spark module. Nothing else showed up on the engine diagnostics, so....it looks like I am going to have to replace the dreaded Opti-Spark ignition module....OUCH!
 
Did get the passenger's seat in the '74 fixed this weekend.
