Thank you for the heads up on the spark plug wire. A starter repairman gave me this tip. Run a sump pump or flex dryer vent hose from the front under the bumper to the starter to prevent the starter from swelling with heat and turn over very slowly. I also supplement my gasoline with hydrogen made from water. Do not let anyone tell you it does not work! I went from 4-6 miles a gallon to 10 - 15 miles a gallon by adding a propane carburetor adapter to my carb. I also added an extra alternator and battery to run the hydrogen cell.

Iam looking for tailights for our 1982 Travelmate motorhome. They have 3 lenses and are surface mount. They were very common in the 70 and 80 not made anymore. Looking to purchase a pair.
