This is a great, thanks. I know the PO did some of these already for sure, and maybe more, but I just don't know what they are...
- Add an emergency front hood release cable. DON'T KNOW IF HE DID, WILL SEARCH FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
- Make sure your engine oil dipstick is the correct length. Early cars showed "Full" but were actually a quart low. WHAT IS THE CORRECT LENGTH?
- Add Zerk grease fittings to your ball joints. PO DID THIS ALREADY.
- Replace stock ceramic/aluminum-strip fuses with GBC glass fuses and clean all fuse holders. I WILL CHECK WHAT'S IN THERE.
- Make sure throttle linkage has two return springs. OK, I'LL CHECK.
- Make sure water temp sender is moved from surge tank to engine block. JUST REPLACED IT YESTERDAY, WAS MOVED TO THE BLOCK ALREADY BUT WASN'T WORKING.
- Change ZF gear oil. YES, JUST ORDERED OIL.
- Change brake fluid. YES, NEED TO DO THIS, BRAKES ARE SPONGY. WAS LOOKING AT BUYING A POWER BLEEDER?
- Change clutch fluid. ON MY LIST TOO.
- Make sure distributor gear shear pin is upgraded to stock pin with a second smaller pin inside for added strength. DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT CAR DOES HAVE BRAND NEW DISTRIBUTOR.
- Drill drain holes in rust prone areas, if not already done on your car. WILL CHECK.
- Remove stock spring spacers if they are still there after thirty years. JUST DID THIS WITH NEW 17" WHEELS INSTALLED, SPACERS WERE PRACTICALLY CEMENTED ON.
- Make sure cooling system has all air bubbles removed. WILL LOOK UP HOW TO DO THIS.
- Re-route overflow tank vent hose to exit behind rear wheel. WILL CHECK.
- Add two heater hose shut-off valves to assist the A/C in actually cooling the cabin. AC WAS REMOVED, NEED TO UPGRADE/FIX/INSTALL.
- Buy a fire extinguisher CAR CAME WITH ONE.
