Whippersnappers. Who remembers the 8" floppies, or storing hundreds of hours of work writing TI-99/4A code on audio cassettes?

I'm sure to raise the hackles of even older-timers who used punchcards or reel to reel.

yes, but they would be no use in suspension work.

LOL, I forgot that the 5.25" floppy was in every mechanic's toolchest as a certified unit of measure :)

I think I still have some games laying around for my Apple IIe....

On a D related topic, I went out to the garage and polished it up with stainless wipes. Water usage is limited so that was the best I could do for the moment.

In other news, my stupid cold start issue persists. Plug swap usually gets me going but it's a pain in the butt. I really need to figure out where to find some new wiring. Dave at DMCMW has pigtails with the connector and pins pre-installed, but I really want to preserve the blue shell (his are black). Is it possible to swap the outer shells without damaging the pins in the new one? I am thinking with all the plugging and unplugging that my CPR connector is not looking too great these days either, I'd like to do both.

is there any other way of getting inside of the evaporator without taking apart the dash? removing the blower motor?

Even if you could, you can not get to the drain with the evaporator and heater cores blocking access to the drain hole.

well i went back tonight to the garage. there was alot of water sitting in the evaporator we could hear it slosh around when we tapped it. stuck a coat hanger up the hose and water started coming out. did this a few times. also tapping the evaporator helped clear out the water too. i would say a good 20+ ounces of water came out. i can't get a shop vac to it unfortunately living in the city and storing it in a private garage where you can't legally do any work on your car. gonna have to take it to my mechanic and have him do it again.

Went to Dave G (sdg3205) and we did a small tech session:

1. installed Infinity Kappa in the rear
2. replaced fuel lines with stainless steel braided fuel lines (Thank you, Dave!)
3. installed heat shield on muffler, which did not get installed with the stage I because DMCH sent the wrong heat shield to DMC NW

Car started up fine after a few kinks and idled nicely.

Installed new terminals on wires at ignition coil.
