just put my car away for winter. Im crying.
I put some air in the tires hoping that they won't get flat spots.
Turned the distributor back around and cranked. No joy. Planning to remove the stud so I can have more room for adjustment. Once I get the engine running, I can get the timing light and straighten things out the right way. Gotta have a replacement stud, though, just in case...
(Unrelated note: 1981 DeLorean maintenance is sometimes easier than 2006 Chrysler maintenance!)
I thought I'd get started on my headlight switch replacement with the little bit of daylight I had left. I dismantled the center console and pulled off all the knobs. I fought with the AC one for a good 10 minutes until I put a screwdriver behind it and gently pried it off. Then I pulled out my headlight switch and dismantled it expecting to see it melted. It's not melted. It's in perfect condition. That's when my brain said "uh oh..." My fuse block is toast. I found two melted fuses and the PO's replacement box for fuse 7 was disintegrated too.
So...anyone want to buy on original headlight switch that hasn't melted yet? ;)
It was raining today. I'm one of those newly appointed sissies that avoids driving my Dmc in the rain.
Since I'm a sissy I decided to rebuild my CV joints due to a small tear in one of the boots... Because that's what sissies do.

I just received my new fakie Momo from Dave and Julie at DMC MW and installed it. I couldn't be happier with the results!!
off topic to your post but I noticed you don't have any outer door seals! How is the noise of the air when you're out on the highway?Quote:

I finally finished refreshing the front suspension:
lowering springs
new boots (UCA, LCA, tie rod)
S/S braided flex hoses
re-plated and rebuilt calipers with S/S pistons
new paint on all black parts
cleaned, painted, and re-oiled the steering rack
cleaned and touched up the frame
Before:
Attachment 32225
After:
Attachment 32226
Now onto the rear suspension, brakes, and drive shafts. Those axle boots are intact, but very dry.
Once again, many thanks to the members of this forum for all the help.
