This car came to me a few months ago, and its been a very reliable daily driver. Repaired the windshield rust, got the AC working again, then the high side line busted, so I had a shop custom make a new one. The starter was giving me trouble so I cleaned and refreshed all grounds and starter relay. Things looked pretty good and then the starter acted up again. So I replaced it until the replacement part began to sound like the old starter. I went through every electrical connection I could see and cleaned those contacts. No improvement so I replaced the starter again, boom, problem solved. A few weeks later, Im poking around and noticed my fuel hoses were not so great looking. I saw the condition of the FI feed line, and I damn nearly lost my mind. Since the clamp that holds the battery has been modified at some point, which slips out and allows the slightly oversized battery to chaff the fuel hose. Im looking for a new clamp or way to hold down the battery until I start driving it again.





This is with new hoses

 

Im going to weld washers on the ends of the clamp so that it will hold battery down. This should allow for the long bolts to stay put

 

Did you remember the hose in front of the engine? It’s one that gets forgotten because it’s out of sight

 

yes! I consulted with a few folks on here before starting the job.

 

Looks good. I need to do the same thing soon.
