What did you do to your 2002 today !

[jimk]

A 3.64:1 diff ratio, the markings are supposed to be 1.28 or 1,280 turns per mile and 3200 rpm in 4th at 60 mph with OE size tires.  My original speedo reads 1.28 (european markings) 3.64 diff.

Installed a Solid-State Voltage Regulator

I used a Hella 5DR 004 243-041 that I used on my '78 BMW motorcycle.

My original Bosch VR (0 190 601 006) was only charging at 13.6 V on a good day.

What a difference!  Now charging steadily at 14.0 to 14.2V.

BTW ... your VR does not have to be grounded to the chassis. The alternator body does, with a good 10 or 12-gauge wire.

 

 

 

 

 

Does existing wiring / connector hook right up to these or are mods necessary?

Finally back to working on Schmidt again after attending a race, being on vacation, attending The Vintage (that was cool!).

 

Got the LF suspension components removed today.

No mods are necessary.

Completely plug & play.

The bottom of this car is too nice to drive around.  You're going to be under there shining it up after every drive.

Cruised down to 18th & Vine, the true heart of Kansas City, cradle of KC jazz 'n' blues, not to mention Big Joe Turner, who in my opinion is the true father of rock 'n' roll.

1823 Highland Ave. is the Mutual Musicians Foundation, formerly the Union Hall for Musicians Local 627, the "Colored Musicians Union." This is where Charlie Parker first jammed with Dizzy Gillespie, where touring musicians like Trane and Miles rehearsed with their bands during stays in KC. Today, the Foundation opens at 1 a.m. Saturday and Sunday mornings for jam sessions that continue to 5 a.m. Because, that's how we roll here. 🙂

Thanks I have had the car since 1988 and every year I pick a section of the car that is lacking and tackle it. The underpaint started as just rebuilding the rear suspension, but project creep and the next thing you know.

Busy weekend.  Got the AC lines in, still need to test, vacuum and fill with R134a.  Rocker trim is on.  Just about ready for MidAmerica Fest.

Addressed altenator wobble. Upper (fork) bushing was shot (again) so swapped spare alt in place.

 

Hood hinge thingie gave me some ache. Hits valve cover (S14) front top nut.  First time i have oe bar assembled. I think others don’t have this issue. Have to think how to make it work.

Installed some new Holley Retrobright lights, but I'm only getting one to power on.  Otherwise, I need to put some miles on the car.  Been a month since she's been started.

I’d be interested in pics showing beam pattern once you get both going
