Re: questions galant
Hi Gnever, The sedans changed from about 1981 or 1982 depending which country you are from. None of the panels from a 1979 Galant will fit a 1982 Galant sedan .

Re: efi problems(headaches)
If your cranking is slow and your battery discharged overnight, you might have a short somewhere. Try disconnecting the earth from your battery, set your multimeter to measure Amps and measure how much current drain you are getting from negative terminal to ground. Should be less than 50mA (or 0.05 ...
