[V8] Hello to all! New V8Q owner from Maryland

Hey Luis, how's it going?  Since nobody replied, I'll do it just to do it.....I've already said hi privately, but surprised nobody here has anything to say....Ha.  
On the water pump thing, I'll once again say to stay away from Blau.  I was sent a mis-machined italian Saleri pump in the last kit I got and they basically did nothing to compensate.  Worse, I've been driving the Lago car(did belt a few yrs ago with blau kit, but only a few 1000 miles.....and the IC was squaking at me about coolant/oil/brakes and I gave it no mind as the 5-speed does it and assumed it was the cluster.  Anyway, recently had the hood up, and noticed that the coolant was about 1/2" low and the tiny weep out of pump gasket on top(not getting down into timing area) has probably gotten a bit worse.  I used no sealant on gasket either because either their kit or the book said not to(against my better judgement).... Added coolant and also some oil to get it up to bottom of dipstick(where I run it as AOA amended their recommended 10 quarts to 8.something, but we still have the same dipstick, so run oil a bit low.  Both stopped setting off the idiot light and realized it was doing what it was supposed to do.  Now I'm the idiot for not checking my fluids and assuming it's all in the know problem IC....Ha.  

On a totally different note, does anyone recall which cars came with that interior lock button on door handle?  I've assumed it was the 92 on cars, just checking......Hope all's well......Sincerely, Tom
