87 Coupe project (Page 39/39) 30+mpg JUN 13, 08:51 AM 18 years, still going strong. 30+mpg JUN 26, 11:58 PM No start due to a faulty neutral safety switch on the transmission. Dissambled the switch, cleaned out old grease, sanded copper contact areas, applied di-electric grease and reassmbled. Fires right up. 30+mpg AUG 01, 01:12 PM After all these years, I finally replaced the park/lock cable that was cut by a previous owner. 30+mpg AUG 25, 08:16 PM Voltage at the battery with the A/C operating was down to 13.1v. The 1 year warranty on the Bestest rebuilt alternator I had previously bought expired many years ago. This time I bought & installed an Ultima rebuilt alternator with a limited lifetime warranty. 14+v with the A/C in operation. Things are good once more.

The contacts would not conduct enough amperage to activate the solenoid. Runs great! 18 years. 30+mpg OCT 22, 07:51 PM Starter Bendix drive is beginning to fail. Fortunately, I have the receipt for a limited lifetime warranty for a drive that I purchased from O'Rielly's on 4/17/05. 30+mpg OCT 30, 07:50 PM Replaced the starter drive. Unfortunately, to remove the starter I had to disconnect the A/C lines to the compressor. Reassembled & the engine starts perfectly on the first twist of the key!
