Drove a 100 miles today with the D. No problems at all. Air temp was 30-40 degrees and the heater is way more than needed at that temp. Also my fuel gauge never jumped to straight up so maybe I did fix that problem.
Tonight, I aimed #2613's headlights using the Hoppy aimers that I got from eBay a couple of weeks ago. Although I knew they were all too low from my last nighttime drive, I was surprised at how badly off they were horizontally as well. Fortunately, the adjusting hardware is usable in spite of the rust.
Thanks to the adjustment, one of the low-beam bulbs does not sit properly in its retaining bracket. I'm guessing that over the years the headlight buckets have deformed slightly due to rust. I should plan on replacing the buckets before long, but I'm afraid that it would involve removing the fascia, which is scary to me.
No and no.Quote:

No, the fascia needn't be removed to change the buckets. Fascia-on change-out is tedious but possible. Sort of like a 3-D puzzle. Mask it off all around so you don't nick the paint and then go in for those buckets. Be patient. Take photos as you go to aid reassembly. And don't drop any screws or springs in there.
That's the best news I've read all day! Thanks, Rich! :)Quote:

I could bend mine back into shape, perhaps.
I have noticed that where other DeLoreans' headlights line up straight across, #2613's high beams sit higher than the low beams. It's been bothering me off and on for about seven years...

Angle drive replacement......speedometer works now, but is off by 10-12 mph.
Now that the speedo works I was able to test the trip odometer. It goes to '11111' instead of '00000' so I must've messed up when I replaced the reset shaft.
