Battery Terminals


Need Fuel Lines

It is time to change out my 3o+ year old Fuel Lines. Better safe than sorry.

I contacted a few people and received a  contact source- someone who has a complete Fuel Line Kit. I was told it's not cheap, but neither will be my car if it explodes...

Lift Bars + More

Since I got the Lift Bars in a couple months ago, I think it is time to do some under body work. I need to get a hold of some Jacks that will support everything enough so that I am going to be as safe as I can be in these conditions. I have a set of 2 Tons and a set of 3 Tons. Tomorrow I will see if I can get 2 sets of 6 Tons stands and a 6 Ton Jack.

The vehicle may only be under 2 Tons itself, but it is already risky as it is working directly under a car, relying on some little posts to keep the car up-and since this will be quite a few feet off the ground, with 4 jack stand keeping it up, it's best to go the more expensive route.

Once I get the car up, I will drain the current oil, add some new better Mobil 1 15W 50, and replace the Oil Filter once it arrives. I will need to make sure I acquire the necessary tools before the Filter arrives.

Afterwards, I will make an appointment to get the Alternator tested.

I also got the Headlights and Window Motors working today. Replaced the fuses. I had accidentally put an 8 amp fuse into a 25 amp fuse slot. The 25 amp fuse is what was needed to get the Window Motor functioning again.

All Electrics Working

I cleaned up the Fuse Relay Board, and changed out all the Fuses with new ones. I replaced the Board after cleaning up the other ground wires to the best of my ability, and added some good coats of Electric Cleaner to everything.

I am happy to say that EVERY single electric and light now work! I was very excited and happy about that.

My power results have increased as well. I added some battery terminal protectants, some corrosive preventative, and cleaned the battery terminals, and a cut off switch as well. The car starts up every single time now! I am still getting power drop though. I haven't had time to go through any of the other ground points on the vehicle. Just only got around to the Fuse Relay Board stuff.

When I first started the car up today, I got A LOT of white smoke from the exhaust.
