I had everything apart and tried to clean everything up, I believe that's some of the residue from the Metal polish.....I hope haha. Haven't seen or smelled any fuel since then.
As long as the gaskets don't leak. I wanted stainless steel.
Is your fuel rail regulator o ring starting to leak? I'm only asking because the rest of the engine in the picture looks clean enough to eat off of.
If you want CJ Pony Parts sells repro's of those. I'll be getting a few of their stickers for my '83 before i'm done with it. I guess LMR even has some, come to think of it.Hah, I just realized in the last picture... I never even peeled the seatbelt stickers off the windows.

BTW, you should really listen to @karthief about opening the door. We all have our specialty areas here, I paint, for example. Karthief repossessed cars for a living. He can get into your locked car.
Patina......I like the patina on the statue of liberty. On Mustangs, not so much.I'm definitely listening to him and you and anybody else that has advice. I will be testing your patience soon Dave. My first couple of questions... keep the patina, and clear what's left of the base coat? I understand this is a recent trend all though I don't personally buy into it. Or scuff and puff with both base and clear?
If you do paint a new base coat, hw the heck do you save the stickers... The ones in the door jam and the likes.
Ok I suggest taking the seat out, find or make an L shaped tool and you should be able to pop the door panel off with the door closed, the tool needs to have a fairly long tongue to keep from tearing up the back of the doorpanel. Slide it along till you find the plastic pins, the only problem is going to be at the front of the door by the dash, I've never had to do this, but it should give you enought room to work on the actuator.
I thought this was going to take me forever to troubleshoot... Unplugged regulator and no parasitic current drain... Removed voltage regulator and brushes are almost completely gone. The brush dust created a ~2.6 ohm short circuit. Bearings are good so will get new regulator and brushes and rebuild the original alternator.
I feel some of that pain, I have until July 31 then, Bye-Bye paychecks.Just a quick update due to lack of progress... getting laid off from work kind a puts a damper on the amount of parts you can buy.Trying to figure out now why the car when completely off is drawing 4.6 Amps of current. No wonder the charge on my car battery would only last a few hours.
You just helped me figure out what's going on with my truck, Thanks buddy!!!I thought this was going to take me forever to troubleshoot... Unplugged regulator and no parasitic current drain...
