Default 88 gt problems

I just picked up a 88 GT and have noticed a few problems with it that I want to fix...the headlights flicker off and on after about 15 minutes of having them on ( foglights are not on), would the repair kit from 50resto fix this? Also my windshield wipers will only cycle about 5 times and then they stick, I have to turn the switch off and then on in a few seconds, what would cause this? Last but not least, when the car is running and not in gear the clutch fork vibrates back and forth a pretty descent amount (about 1") is this normal or can I tighten the cable up some? Im a newbie when it comes to mustangs, been more of a chevy guy, but picked the car up for a damn good price and low miles on it, 88700 that is. Thanks for the good info on this board and let me know if anybody has had some of the same problems and what they did to fix em.

Default RE: 88 gt problems

if your running the foglights at the same time as the headlights you need to put a relay on the foglight circuit....
