Hi Paul,
 
>I know Marcos Heritage sells a fuse box, also you can buy the Build

            Yeah, I checked with them, but am still unclear (we have an
on-going conversation) as to if the cars came with a fuse box or not.
            Sounds like I'll definitely have to get one of those build
manuals!
 
>You bought the red 84 
>from Wire Wheel Classics---right---and it has the Capri Drivetrain.
            Yep, that's me. And yep, it has a Capri drivetrain and hubs.

>I just joined the Yahoo Capri-List group, it has lots of info on the 
>Capri drivetrain --- and for those of you with Capri drums brakes
><blitz@...> has Capri parts.   
            Thanks for the tip! I'll have to join that myself!

>My car was built w/o a fuse box!!! and the second to last owner put 4

Huh, what don't you like about the Capri 4 speed?
