[V8] Infamous V8 No Start

Thu Jul 12 18:07:11 EDT 2007

The seat of my pants barley talkes too me anymore Ed
;-).....but I felt higher up in the seat.
 I like my seat all the way down & tilted back a bit.
& when I posisioned the Black Urs4 sports I have in my
ol Pearl V8..I felt higher up.

 & on my 90 I had to change the pass side
connector..you say it was a direct plug in on the pass
side for the 93 V8's? They are the updated controls &
such...like the Urs4 seats have. Not the Silver ones
like the earlier seats have.
