Does anyone know if there will be another Blue Ridge Bus Tour later in the year?

Yep 13 turns is ok. Putting back by number of turns is just a general guide to get it close assuming it was aligned correctly before you started.

Looking for the part number for a dome light, 2 lights really. The two units I have, have a center white covered light and two lights you can point. looking for the bulb part number and rubber boots that go over the rotational lights. Going back to the Pull a part in Charlotte in Mar and going to buy a couple units to get the rubber covers worse case. yea I'm putting them in The Bus. One is going on the head knocker cabinet for reading and may put one in the engine compartment. Be nice to have a light in there you can point sort of.

Hey Dave,

You can usually get the bulb part numbers from any reputable FLAPS... they should be able to look it up in the Weatherly Index for you... Many times they say if the computer doesn't have it listed it's not available..... They are wrong.. tell them to checkout the bulb book in whatever brand they are selling...... If they still have them..

I picked up my "map / Reading " lights from online RV parts stores... they have many different types to work with.....then i put LED bulbs in them from www.superbrightleds.com ..

Good Luck in your quest...

Peace,
Paul

AstroVan? We got one of them family truckster. 16-20 mpg , Great vehicle if you stay on top of the maint to the body. Very little goes wrong to the engine.

A lady here in town has one all decked out in glory dedicated to her idol- Janis Joplin.

I felt the Ford Aerostar was more comfortable in back and in the driver seat, but it wore out and we have 186K miles on this one.
