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.

oil service on the M3 and M5, washed both and put on the battery tender.
winter has arrived... :/

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...gadget73 wrote: Oct 30, 2024 1:43 PM 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.
