STUBBORN ENGINE FASTENER REMOVAL

To ease the removal of stubborn water pump mounting bolts, exhaust system hardware, and other engine fasteners, first warm the engine to normal operating temperature. Then, loosen the fasteners before the engine cools off.

1987 LEGEND COUPE SPEEDO SENSOR REED SWITCH

Parts Information Bulletin 90-0020, dated 07-09-90, filed under New Parts, incorrectly lists a speedo sensor reed switch for 1986-90 Legend Coupes. The P/N 78106-SD4-003 switch only fits 1988-90 Legend Coupes (with NS gauge assemblies). The 1987 Legend Coupe doesn't have a reed switch (and there was no 1986 Coupe).

VIGOR ANTENNA OPERATES WITH RADIO OFF

If a Vigor battery is in a low state of charge, the antenna may act strangely. Even with the radio turned off, the antenna may go up a few inches, and then retract when you turn the ignition switch on. So, if you have this symptom, test the battery and the charging system, not the antenna.

WOW! THAT'S REALLY A HOT TAPE

It's not unusual for cassette tapes to get hot during extended play, particularly when they're played at higher volumes and when the car is parked. You can assure your customers that this is normal and no cause for alarm.
