Yes, if we can live long enough electric cars are in all of our future, and we may not have to live that long to reach that future!
Let's face it, how long will it be before electric charging stations outnumber the old-fashioned gas pumps, and drivers too poor or too resistant to change, will have a hard time hunting for places to fill up. It only took a little over 20 years for the automobile to replace the horse, and that included building thousands of miles of appropriately smooth blacktop and thousands of stations filled with highly flammable underground tanks of gasoline. We already have the infrastructure in place, the change may be more rapid than we think.
As the technology becomes more refined, and affordable I can see more companies like Lunaz offering conversions for older classics.
Hi CK.
Hope all is well ...
Electric cars? Ha I see us going back to horses! lol
Hey Mr. Jay..........haven't done many miles in the VDP lately (less than 1,000 miles in the last 8 months) but I did get around to replacing a burned out instrument cluster bulb(s) recently, something I had on my to-do list for several months!
I haven't done any miles the car hasn't even been out in the sun.
I have a bulb or 2 burned out in my cluster too on the left side. ..
dont know if the cluster can be removed with a steering column stuck all the way in/down.

Yes way too long, my fault I jacked myself up.. pushed myself to much..
The column tilts up and down fine but doesn't go in and out,right now it's all the way in/down.
wasn't worry about it since it works for me..
Both motors work tilt works fine just may be a gear went bad or wore out.
I don't think I'm going to worry about it for while.
No way am I going to get myself under the dash my neck just isn't going to do that right now.
Still wearing a braces 4 hours a day. Freaken old people!
Thanks for the diagrams.
Oh heck, I just threw them up there...give you something to look at and dial in a plan of attack. Perhaps you can print them out for Mint Sauce to evaluate...
Yeah, getting old sucks...I'm finding it not as easy to get back up after lying under my Corvette replacing bushings. As a matter of fact, break times are a little more prominent.
Getting old does suck: which (at 78 is why I no longer own the Jag: first the knees, then the doctors won't even let you drink . . )! New car Warranties and a lease . . . and a sense of humor!
Funny you should talk about replacing bushings, That's what done me in .. I hit a Bambi at about 20/30mph. No visible damage to the car but after checking on bambi I got back in the car and had a bad vibration Thu the steering wheel and in the cab.. drove home the next I checked Everything vacuum leaks, coils, timing, wiring, no code , nothing pushed and hitting anything it shouldn't .
So replaced all 5 motor mounts, and the 4 subframe mounts.
Didn't help anything... Dont know if you can see it Subframe shifted. Replaced bushings realigned the subframe. . Same vibration.
