Take a seat.

In preparing to start the car up for the first time, we needed somewhere to sit. We put the original drivers seat back in, and placed some wood over the floor boards where it had rusted through. It's not perfect, but it will work for now.

We filled the radiator with 1 gallon of anti-freeze, and then managed to get about 1qt. of water in before the system was completely full. This is a 9 1/2 qt. system, so we'll need to top it off with water once we get the coolant to pump through the engine.

Lights!!!!

We did the electrical system checks tonight. Here we are with the front lights on! We used a small "jumper battery" to test out the system.

• Interior Lights -OK
• Dash Lights - OK
• Parking Lights - OK
• Headlights - OK
• Highbeam Floor Switch - Needs work/replace
• Tail Lights - Left Side out
• Brake Lights - Left Side out
• Fans Work
• Radio Works!
• Ignition to on position (click heard, probably ready to start)

We wired up the alternator. We put this off when we did the alternator install. We had been more concerned with the belts, and the electrical hook-up was unclear.

• White - Field
• Black/Yellow - Batt
• Black/Red - Ground (Seriously?!! Ground a RED wire!)

 Thankfully we have the shop manual, and it lists the wiring colors.
