The Ghost of Lucas Past
I see there is an engine and drivetrain section, but no electrical. I am just curious if I am the only one with obscure electrical issues. The car in question has had the body off the frame, a 3.5 v8 installed and all new Delco or comparable electrical components. Now that the car is for sale, the wiper switch failed and had to be replaced this week, next I drove to a friends the other evening, and the headlight relay failed,(Prince of Darkness). The following day after installing a new relay, I drove to the gas station and filled it up. It cranked slow, but started and on the way home I noticed the volt meter at 11 volts and dropping. The Delco 10SI one wire alternator failed and had to be replaced. Mabe it's looking for a new home, or I have neglacted a few things over the years, or mabe there is a Ghost of Lucas Past. Rodney
Well the car sold on ebay. I was worried sick till the new owner contacted me to say that he was stripping it down to go road racing and didn't care about wipers and such. I guess there is a God. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/30/2012 11:17PM by rocket. |

Re: The Ghost of Lucas Past aka Dark Star
With "Lucas" directing such an epic saga ,Star Wars, it's only fitting to have a Dark Star. Good Luck, roverman.
