What have you done to your DeLorean today?

You are very sensitive about everyone's volts Jon. Mine has been getting lower and lower lately, It would scare the hell out of you, But my DVOM confirms I still have good power and great charging volts. My dash grounds are failing again, its time to get serious with them.

I guess I'm the only one with voltage showing on the high side. Mine reads just below the first orange line. My alternator does put out about 14.8 volts but I also have the inertia switch grounded to the frame. That ground will correct your dash gauge up about 0.3 volts.

I can't help it, when I work on a project of my own it tunes me in to the related items on everyone else's car!

Added a camera mount because of this bullshit.

Jon may not be wrong about my car though, maybe I do have a failing alternator. I was just reading his voltage thread and saw someone posting about a black gooy alternator being a dead one, my orignal Motorola is very black and gooey. Maybe it is on its way out.

Bought a small hacksaw to attempt to cut the FB to install the LED switches, another failure. Not enough room to "hack". Dremel too was too short as well.

Borrowed a new drill bit to "carve" and enlarge the hole to compensate the later switches.

Hmmm, nearly damaged a metal tubing (fuel line?) running along the tunnel, close call. Also found a cable that runs along into the engine compartment underneath the console, wasnt sure what it was .... ? I think it may be something relating to the a/c controls? Or throttle cable?

Just got to vac all the dust and shavings tonight, then a good clean before reinstalling the switches.

LOTS of stuff under that console. Three fuel lines (feed, return, vent) though these are under the body and only visible at the shifter and accumulator openings, two main sections of wiring harness, two vacuum lines, and the throttle cable.

Can't remember who had posted before, but said it was clear and hack away.

I saw the looms on either side and the hard line must had been a vacuum one (under the FB) , not one mark amazingly from the drill bit (like Vincent in Pulp Fiction). The other must had been the throttle cable (black and curving its way to the rear bulkhead near the cubby holder).

Impressive for one evening of work! It took me a couple nights to remove my interior when I was replacing my A/C evaporator. Probably didn't help that I had to label every screw and nut so I knew where it went...

Today I entered my car in a show at the General Mills Lodi plant. I won first place in the 1973-2012 category! Less impressive when you take into account that it was a small car show only open to General Mills employees, but still fun to walk away with an award. Below are a couple pictures from the event.
