Forgot to follow up. Went Labor Day wknd(Sunday). Car had been sit'n since 1st week of April without fuel and battery disconnected for welding...which he never got to... Put a charger on it while loading up all the parts and paint, etc. He broke down...
Blew off the dust and removed all the masking paper. Checked the tires, put fuel in, and checked for leaks. Then cranked her over till o/p started to show on gage. My buddy opperated the throttle while i turned the key. She fired right up, o/p went straight to 50, and never missed a beat Shut'r down after a few minutes and got the trailer ready. He broke down again.
I had bought and mounted a 3000 lb winch($59) from Harbor Frieght JIC, which turned out to be a good thing. The tires kept want'n to spin in the gravel and/or one ramp would pop up from the trailer when try'n from a short distance away.
We talked about how to make it right along with what he faces from the accident. Didnt get far. He broke down again, so i left soon after.
Got home just after dark and was gon'a leave everything out back till morning...but looked like rain. With no doors, front end, deck lid, gtr skins, decided to put'r in the garage. She fired right up with 2 pumps and ran great. If there where tail lamps...decided better not. My luck a cop would see me, or worse, rear ended. Started rain'n a 1/2 hour later for about an hour.
Anyway, feels so good to back home. I rewired from the firewall forward last Saturday. Way over do from the hack job last owner did. The ign module was on the rf wheel house with the wiring run along the fuel line, f/p reg., and remote oil filters. And had a 1 wire altnator with old regulater still wired at core support. Now the reg's gone and the module's in its place with all wiring on lh side. The n20 wiring runs inside the cowl panel. All the main wiring is inside plastic conduit. Looks clean. Even fired right up!
Now just have to save $ and find someone to weld qtr pnls. Gon'a try'n patch the fenders myself.
