Finally obtained the correct underhood pad I hope...

Post by negusm »

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... AMEWA%3AIT

So I bid twice and the reserve was at or over $100 so I said screw it and did BIN. I have dealt with this guy before and he does have NOS stuff but his "follow through" is a bit lacking.

Last time I checked with him he didn't have any newer pads....but he must have unearthed one somehow.

My question though is, what side of the car is the hole for the emissions sticker go on for 79-82 stangs vs 85 Capris?

The one on the 84 Capri hood I have is on the opposite side of what this pad shows....allthough all the bumps, outlines, etc are the same from the 84 Capri pad to this one.

I looked at a picture somebody sent me of their 85...and they had it back on the other side like the pad in the auction.

My car is like the 84 you describe. I can't find what I need either....

(My insulator is long gone but you can clearly see the emissions sticker on the left side)

No, you're emissions sticker is on the right...just like the pad is and the other Capri pic I have. The 84 is on the left...driver's side.

Weird.

Passenger Side = Right Hand Side. At least that's my understanding...

The pad on ebay has the front on the floor. You would have to rotate it 180 degrees to fit your car as shown.

Yep, I guess that 84 I have is just weird.

Got the pad! Its PERFECT. Fedex Ground didn't destroy it!

Now they will make repros and it'll only be worth $75. :D
