    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Congratulations! I assume Stephen won first?

    Edit: Should have gone back a page to see you already said this.

    That's a good looking plaque! I have received first place plaques that don't look as nice as that. So if that's second place what did the first place trophy look like?



    Ohhh and I have to do this:

    Haha, nice. The first place plaque was the same with a blue background rather than red. And third was silver. This is a classy show through and through, well organized and with an incredible selection of cars.

    The big plus of having our own class this year is that Stephen will be eligible to join the Winner's Circle at next year's show. So we will have some representation up there with all the other pristine show cars and a chance for a D to take Best in Show!

    - used pieces of aluminum sheet and RTV to (I hope) seal the two body holes behind the rear speakers.
    - confirmed radiator fan function.
    - replaced bad connector at blower motor (ground), restored blower motor function on all four speeds.
    - noticed blower motor functions without the rest of the connectors plugged in - just the big one and ground. Kinda strange...

    I've made quite a bit of progress on reassembling my car. It seems to go back together way easier than it comes apart The stereo is in and after yesterday, most of the carpet, console, HVAC vents (man, those silly little rubber sleeves are a PITA to get connected!! lol) are back in too. I was ear to ear grin when I got it back together enough to test things out and put the battery back in. Partly to hear the songs and know it all seemed to have worked... and partly happy that nothing started melting/burning Need to get a couple replacement fittings before the seatbelts go back in, so on hold until I put an order in for some more goodies.



    Interesting to learn how the rheostat connections have an impact on whether your directionals work or not. At least I think this is what was going on. When I got the stereo going but hadn't yet put the console back in, nor the shifter plate with rheotstat, or window switches, etc. I realized my headlights worked, horn was okay, interior lights, etc., but not cluster lights and no turn signals. The directional lights came on when I turned the headlights on, but they wouldn't flash when moving the signal stalk up or down. Yesterday after getting most everything back connected, they work again. Something to know I guess for anyone troubleshooting in the future. If you don't have the rheostat plugged in at all, turn signals don't work. Fancy that.

    Finished to replace the fuel accumulator.
    Break my neck and arms to complete this things
    I had to remove the center console to access to the fuel lines.
    Fortunately, everything is working fine now

    Was it easier with the center console removed?

    Yes much more easier if you intend to change the lines too.
