been a while. car has been away getting some work done. new A904 Transmission, Power Steering lines, brakes, tires, etc. shes back, runs and drives, but there is still much to do.
items on the agenda:
new oil sending unit. old one leaks.
fix rear bumper mount. old one is pushed in
patch antenna and rust holes
put a Dodge grille on. car is a Dodge that was given a Plymouth front end after the old one was cracked.
fix windshield and wipers
on the topic of wipers. the wiper switch isn't doing anything. green module was missing, when i plugged one in still nothing and it oddly silenced the door chime. i suspect the wiper motor is dead but fluid also doesn't spray either. the under dash is truly a wiring nightmare. my father put an aftermarket radio in here back in the early 2000s and now the dash looks like spaghetti
i aim to just put a stock AM/FM in here. hope the aftermarket radio was just a plug and play. had a subwoofer so that might be pain.
car coasted down the highway just fine but did bog out after a while. there is a hesitation when hitting the gas from a stop. gets worse when engine is hot. this the old "thermobog" i heard so much about? carb might need to be rebuilt. also quite dirty and been sitting for many years
