What did you do to your other car(s) today?

[1st 5er]

I'm surprised a Vega fuel pump is still available.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Vega fuel pumps available then Vegas remaining.

Yeah, I mean Rockauto alone has 7 different brands. Really?

Somewhere in the ether of the interwebs, some guy (or AI bot) is wondering why there's a jump in interest in Vega fuel pumps...

If you look at the listing of what else it fits, I'd bet its more the F series trucks that explain why they are around than the Chevy Vega. As for surviving Vegas, I'm curious how many still exist with original engines vs V8 swaps. I suspect there are more V8 Vegas at this point in time.


This was a week ago, but I rebuilt the power antenna on the Continental. I had gotten it working when I bought the car and last year it started getting goofy again, not wanting to run the antenna all the way up. Cleaned it, and it worked until a few weeks ago. Gave it a complete teardown to nothing with a deep clean and lube. Found crap packed between the commutator bars which explains why the motor never ran quite right. Runs real well now.

Somewhere here there's a thread on S38/M88 thermostats where my shop found one that fits/works correctly (which is a trick these days... ). Anyway, I went looking for a spare, and apparently it also works on early/mid-1980's Jeeps
