| | Right, 91 was the last year of the old type valve that I described. And | 91 was the year of the original poster's car. The new type valve | doesn't have the adjustments that I mentioned, and I've never worked on | one of them. All you can do is make sure that the cable is connected | properly, and the valve freely moves thorough it's whole travel. The | new valve also doesn't seem to have as positive of a shutoff. | | -- | Mike F. | Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. | | NOTE: new address!! | Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. | (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)
