Re: 71 Blue Jay
A few great updates. I rebuilt the front end, shocks all around, track bar bushings for the rear, new tires and alignment. Drives so much better down the road. Still some play in the steering so need that rag joint and eventually new gear box.
The External Voltage Regulator (EVR) stoped working last year, got a new one and it makes a buzzing noise that is really annoying. Been researching solutions and will spend some time on that in the coming weeks. I don’t want to upgrade the alternator but it may be what I have to do.
Also this week I fixed that broken defroster arm and the bulbs in the heater control box. Took the radio out, cleaned it but I guess the speaker is a no go because it still doesn’t make any sound. It’s AM only so will probably get a FM/bluetooth one to put under the seat or in the glove box.
I’m just glad I can drive it and not be worried about the suspension or tires blowing out. Now it’s just the electrical will stop working at any second. Lol.
