atleast i'm getting something done

for the past couple nights, i've been cleaning up all the engine wiring. adding lots of split loom to it. looks much much better now. i also regrounded my tach at a different location. it used to be ran to the same ground as the wiper motor, and would bounce around very fast when the wipers were on full blast. now its grounded to a screw in the firewall and works much much better

here are some pictures of my old and new rearview mirrors

That looks good mounted. Did you polish and wax it before you installed it?

I thought it was an antenna too.

I figured you replaced your windsheild with plain glass (no antenna).

since your talking about antennas, does it normally cost more to have an embedded antenna windshield replaced as opposed to one with no antenna?
