Plugs / wires 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Ditka on  Sun Sep 30 12:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for everything so far, hopefully one day I'll have the knowledge to help others in need on here from my own experiences. I still have some questions though:

It's nearing winter, and I am in the need of new plugs and wires again. I'm wondering if the Bosch plugs and wires that I find in my local auto parts place are good enough for my 740 turbo? Also, I went there and checked, and they don't have "740 Turbo" listed, all they have is 740 GLE and stuff. What is mine? is it a GLT? GLE?

Also, I'm driving around, and sometimes randomly without warning the little "OD" light will come on on the dash, and the car'll drop into 3rd gear without me pressing the OD button on the shifter (automatic tranny).

And then it'll just come out. This usually happens within the first 10 minutes of driving, and then kicks out on it's own after 5 or so minutes.

Also, I'm doing a project for my mechanical engineering tech class, and I need to dissect something mechanical and make a diagram of all of the parts. I am wondering if there's anyone out there that has an old busted turbo, fragged beyond repair, that I can use? If not, I can just do an old electric motor or something, but I was hoping to turn this project into something I can use. It can be any turbo from any car. I put up some requests in classified ads last week, but no one replied. It's due on October 15, so I have some time to go digging. There's no u-pull-it yards around here. I'll pay shipping and whatever you think it's worth.

Thanks again!
