Lot's Of Progress
Posted on: Saturday November 28, 2009
Got quite a bit done in the last two days. All of the dash lights are back on. This was due to the gauge dimmer rheastat (sp) being stuck. I took it out, shot some lube in it and slowly but surely worked it free. Unfortuneately, I think I broke it when I was working it free. The power side had power when it was supposed to, but the output side showed 2.5V.

I got it back in the car with little trouble save for the lower bolt at the firewall side at the intake manifold. Boy, what a hassle that was. I also wanted to make sure that the gas I was putting in was good (the tank was half full...
