I think loctite and the correct bolts should do the trick but RCA are good too, did it ruin the nrca's?

Been driving her. Alternator keeps blowing up cause now I need a new one. I just replaced it a good month ago.
Really need new engine and dash harnesses. Been getting lots of blowing fuses.

I put in a new fuse for the taillight as soon as you flip it on the fuse blows. Did it about 3 times from 15 to 20 to 30.
Also tach light isn't working as well as the temp gauge.

Other than that's its cool I had the rear maxed H and front at 16. I changed the front to 20 and its feeling like a better ride.
Thats what I did today

Please Hmu if you have zenki harnesses! Thanks club!

Rigged up some terminal adapters, since all the local batteries use full size terminals.

Only in Nevada (from what I know, other states might be different). I checked the cali DMV they consider 1970s cars/trucks and below would be classic. In Nevada it's 25 or older cars are considered classic. :ugeek:

Gutted my a/c evaporator box and duct taped the seams/joints on most of the vents under the dash. As a result the airflow from the hvac improved considerably.
