PM sent.
I've had good results with a pressure bleeder. In fact, I ended up with two units. I have a Schwaben unit that I've had for years. Then about 5 years ago I purchased a Motive Products unit on...
Last summer I had a similar issue. The clutch did not fully disengage, and as the car got warmer the symptoms got worse. Eventually, the car would not go into reverse, or first. The pedal didn't...
I'm with Dave, perplexed by the 4 volt reading. Is this reading with the mirror switch pushed to move the mirror? And what is being used as the ground (negative) reference for the meter reading? ...
Their mechanisms are independent. Obviously they both take their movement from the rotation of the speedometer cable, but they do so differently.
The odometer is driven from a worm gear that...
Perhaps I can help on a couple of items. The Holley LFRB120-1 LED headlamp is listed as a dual high/low beam headlight rated 25W low and 35W high. This should equate to 2.1 amps low and 3.0 amps...
Congratulation to both of you! That engine is immaculate. I imagine we only see a small glimpse of the work you actually put in, not only to do the car refurbish, but also bring us along with your...
Dave is correct. The static pressure does not indicate the level of charge. You could have 1oz or 2lbs of refrigerant and the pressure indication would be identical. In an extreme case, if your...
They may have changed but Delorean Go use to sell two versions of the motorized antenna (black and stainless mast). They both came with three motor wires: red, green, and black. Their instructions...
I couldn't quite tell in the video if you done this already, but last summer I had to bleed my clutch slave and it was difficult to access the bleeder. If I had the access you now have, I would add...
On my car the antenna relay was the culprit which caused the antenna to stay in the up position. My relay is located behind the drivers seat under the rear deck (see photo). In order to retract,...

Headlight load is handled by the two relays (main beam relay and dip beam relay) so their current does not go through the switch contacts. However, current for all the other running lights does go...
Fair enough.
Tough Crowd.
Mike,
There's a subtle difference. In the photo on this thread, the blue/yellow wire (wire has been spliced and extended with a brownish wire) is connected with the white/red on the solenoid coil...
See attached diagram. Low Beam is relay 21. Fuse for low beam is number 14

Mike,
Your measurement is likely correct. There are differences between different manufacturers on how they handle high/low beam. But one method used involves a slightly offset placement of LED...
Lars,
Normally the "low beam" indicator in the binnacle is directly powered from the low beam (dip) headlight relay circuit; meaning it gets the same power feed as the headlights. If the headlights...
Before drilling, I would suggest you first try using an 8-32 tap and see if you can rejuvenate the threads in the nutserts.

Perhaps a transition beyond the valley would be prudent?
Andy,
Having your battery voltage, settle to 12.5 volts after the engine turns off is pretty normal. If it sets for a few hours, it's not uncommon for the battery voltage to drop to 12.2 or so. ...
Andy,
I think both Nick and Dave are onto something. To assist, I?ve annotated a schematic with the 3 likely scenarios. If, in fact, the smaller gauge brown wire is connected to the two larger...
Andy,
What is the exact part number for the Bosch plugs. Do you happen to have a purchase link?
