so i wont be getting plates for my maverick for at least another week. today i changed out the radio and removed the old glovebox. tomorrow and monday i will be putting in new speakers, and on the to do list is new carpet, headliner, fix the rust, vinyl top paint the car(not in that order). but before i start the rest of the to do list what can i do to make sure the engine, steering and brakes are running strong while im waiting for the plates?
How are your plugs, wires, cap and rotor? Have you thrown a vacuum gauge on it and seen how it looks? Set timing, recurced disty for your aplication? Verifyied pads and rotors in good shape? Greased front end, checked steering components? All fluids changed and fresh? Brake fluid, trans fluid, cooling system flush, oil, rear end Old car theres ALWAYS something to do. LOL
Check your belts and hoses. Battery connections and grounds. I expect they are they are some of the most common causes of breakdowns.
probly sound stupid when I say this but I'm not really sure how to do any of that iv never worked on an engine before so don't really know much about them. I'm good at taking stuff apart and pitting it back together, just not on an engine or anything really in the engine bay.
