So the initiation has begun. I bought my first part. It's a sexy brown bakelite-looking starter selonoid relay. $17 or so at NAPA. Off to a flying start. So the hitch is that I'm not sure how to wire one correctly when there was not one there to start with. + battery to one end and the starter to the other looks pretty sensible. So the other two smaller posts are labeled S & I. I'm guessing ignition switch and starter. I'll have to trace or look in the manual to id the starter switch wire but I dont see any other wire coming off the starter except the main power lead. Am I close?
The day after I had purchased the car I was walking out of the bank and a guy was getting out of a $30,000 race ready '67 fastback next to my truck. I stopped and chatted for a while and told him of my purchase. He immediatly told me that my first mod had to be replacing the stock fuel tank with a cell and installing a metal firewall behind the back seats. Also, the previous owner said that he was having a fuel problem and had to replace the filter a couple of times the last time he was driving it. He suspects that hte tank needs to be cleaned out. I removed the tank and sure enough it's got a coating of rust with flakes of rust floating around in the last of the gas. I've cleaned and epoxied motorcycle gas tanks before and it's not something I'd like to do again. So I'm in for the fuel cell. Any recomendations?
And how about the fuel line? It looks in decent shape, can I just clean it out and reuse it or should I replace it for any reason? |Any easy ways to blast some water through that small line?
Thanks
