The attention to fit, finish and detail is exceptional and when installed it looks "factory", which many times is harder to do then most people realize. This is one replacement part that will eliminate any future need for repair or replacement. Great work guys !!!!

I see that DMC Joe has posted a wiring diagram for the ASI radios but I dont see one for the Craig. I thought they might be the same but they are not, at least not myne:) Please let me know where I can find one. thanks David ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 14:47:37 -0800 From: "IN2TIME" <Gary@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: Looking for Delorean in the Northwest We have a few DeLoreans For Sale listed on the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club Website. http://pndc.org/classifieds.htm Any member's ads that we run in our quarterly newsletters are also posted on our Website for free.

I appreciate your help. I had discovered some of this info from the US Customs ... but not the details on 'exemptions!' This will hopefully help considerably if US Customs agrees to let me import my D for one year. Had to laugh ... "exemption for members of foreign armed forces" should make it easy for the Lybians should they ever invade the USA!!! My plan is to get the car running using required spares from my parts-car in S.California. I will then give it to a DMC shop for full restoration (anyone know of a cheap shipping method to the East Coast/Texas DMC Shops?). This will be a "keeper" so I want everything done 110%. Has anyone had a full restoration carried out? Where, your comments, total ball-park price, etc would be useful information. Thanks again Barry.

May I suggest John Cash's "I Walk The Line" to check and see if the hum is in tune. Also need to see what key the hum is in, as this maybe related to the "whine" of the tires (depending on type, size and if the original rims are used or not) on various pavements, which could be affected by the height of the car (original shocks vs. lowering kits) in relation to the cross wind speed. Every once in a while you get the chance to have a little fun with a post. To the original poster, hope the others have more important input than mine. I just couldn't let this post die without having a stab at humor.

The display is in the little door for the cassette tape. It is wired through a "flexible" printed circuit. After years of flexing the pc fails. To date there is no satisfactory repair or replacement for this. The best thing to do is either install an ASI or some other suitable replacement.

It will starve the pump and will be worse as the level of fuel goes down. Install a spring inside the pickup hose to prevent the pump's vacuum from collapsing the hose and preventing kinks. It does not restrict the flow.
