What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Tried to start the engine again.

Replaced the front brake hoses due to a 100% clogged left front hose. Greased the upper and lower ball joints while I had the wheels off. Test drove to verify successful repair.

I also repaired / reinforced the sunshade louver.

What happened this time? :(

I miss reading your old thread :(

Plumbed in a auto bleed system to see if that will give my car more time before I have to do head gaskets. Also installed a bunch more Nylon weave sheath on some more of the rubber hoses to make the engine bay look better, This stuff is so superior to that crap split loom covering.

Just curious, is the sheathed hose in your photo still the overflow hose? And the auto bleeder hose you added the one underneath it (and not sheathed)? I don't see where they are ultimately routed to.

I paid her off. I took the last 8 cents to the bank today. I have no idea why the payoff on the bank's website miscalculated by 8 cents but I went into the bank just to make sure it wasn't going to add another couple of cents each time. So she's mine. No one has any hold on her now. I'd go for a victory drive but it's probably 200 degrees in that car right now and I have no AC so I'll just go stare at her.

I was tired of seeing this thread jump to the top of the list every day and not being a part of it. Only took me 4 hours to completely read it..... Damn, should have spent that time working on the car. :biggrin:

Wow I can't believe you read the whole thing... I was actually tempted to give you a call this weekend and see if you were around. I was out crusing around aimlessly and could have made the drive up to Wausau. I took some killer pics on Saturday at sunset. Woulda looked better with a second DeLorean in there :-D

No spark. The ignition coil does not seem to be getting enough voltage during cranking. I'll have to troubleshoot fuses, resistor, grounding, etc. I recently replaced the pickup coil in the distributor, re-installed the distributor, then turned the engine by hand to line up timing marks. I have not been able to start the engine to re-time the engine. It looks like something else failed while I was busy with the distributor (and taking the muffler off and putting it back on, etc.)
