Guess whos back...

[Boosted32v]

Me!

I'm back in the Lightning game, well kind of, I bought a 1995 Lightning (White) for my son. The guy I bought it from gave me the title and it sez the previous owners name is Jason Johns. Didn't know if he posted here at one time or not, I searched but nothing came back.
Its in pretty good shape all stock except for a K&N airfilter, pictures to come soon.

LOL @ I haven't visited since 6-20-2007 :icon_confused:

Welcome back. Sounds like your son may be a trouble maker and you'll need to that that L away form him.......then drive it yourself.:rll:

[Boosted32v]

lol, well his b-day isnt til next month so I did get to drive it until then.
I have a few questions about this truck, it had no owners manual. I
'm assuming it uses a FL820s for an oil filter and what oil weight? Also the spark plugs, it needs a tune up in a bad way.

Uh oh its Henry. How's the cobra doin?

Uh oh its Henry. How's the cobra doin?
The Cobra is doing great, It only gets driven around during nice days though.

I just finished changing the fuel filter and boy what a difference. So far I did an oil & filter change, cleaned the K&N air filter, fuel filter and it seems to be running great! Plugs, cap, rotor and wires are next. Any recomendations on plugs?
I read on NLOC that copper plugs will work, but im not sure what to put on this one, any input Chris?

TIA Henry

I run Champion 344 (RC9YC) in my G1. Didn't you used to have a supercrew with twins on it?

[Chris94L]

I used Autolite 764 plugs with Taylor Thundervolt 8.2 wires on mine with pretty results. Also an MSD cap&rotor.

Henry,

Good to see you here. Brother, we are getting old. Our boys are driving now. Mine just bought my Gen 2 from me. Take care!

[WA 2 FST]

In my old G1, I ran AWSF 32C Motorcraft plugs. These are the standard plugs for GT-40 iron heads, which the G1s have. I think the Autolites Chris recommends are identical.

Hey good to see you too Wes, yeah its kind of hard to belive our sons are driving. The only reason I didnt buy mine a gen 2 was the gas milage. My 02 was real bad and when I modded it it was worse, lol! This should be a good first truck for him. It wasnt taken very good care of, but we have already started with the basics. I went ahead and ordered a tune-up kit from Summit, FMS 9mm blue wires, NGK plugs, blue cap & rotor and blue wire looms, all for $105.00 shipped to the door. I also ordered a few misc parts form a guy at NLOC, HL's, taillights, fog lights/brackets, fr. springs, rear shocks. I'm going to be buying a new fr. spoiler from Cervinis, roll pan from Mar K and some tires and he should be good to go.
The interior is in good condition, needs a headliner and a CD player, i'm not sure the am/fm cassette player is going to cut it for him. :icon_lol:

That's very cool, Henry. I enjoyed my Gen 1 a lot. They are easy to work on, too.

I was going to sell my Gen 2 and get a bigger truck, but my son had $9k saved up and, even though he was only 14 at the time, so I decided to store it for him. Now he has his permit, so its out of storage and he's driving it.

[Chris94L]

I dunno if you would want used or not, but I have a fiberglass roll pan and a front valance from a red 95 L around the house. Still have some pieces from the truck I parted out a few months ago.

Well if the price is right, i'll take both, lol! Let me know Chris what else you have, I'll send you a PM too.

[Boosted32v]

Did you ever find those parts? (lower front valance&rear roll pan) I actually have a friend that is buying a 94 lightning next weekend and we are swapping my rear bumper for his roll pan so I really just need the front valance. If you would just let me know if you still have it, the rest of the parts I ordered are coming this week and I want to finish painting and completing the truck. Let me know if you want to sell it to me or if I need to go in another direction, thanks Henry

Tried to PM you but your PM box is full

[Shiner1]

What parts do you have left over Chris?
