Forget the delcos, get beru or wellmans.

I use Wellmans myself with a manual system on my '85 and still have the same set installed going on 2 years now. Should replace them but I'm still looking for an excuse to.

Check and ensure they are wired right......... also only 5-8 seconds max for the pushbutton operation. If you want upgrading to the Solid state system (87-94) and GPs is an option.

Check Ziggsters page for manual wiring........ Ziggster's page
