I've been slowly fixing the items on the 300D 2.5 I had shipped up from
Louisana.
The windshield was replaced in my driveway for $179 by Triumph Glass
(national firm) and it looks perfect.
I replaced the muffler with a dealer part (with help from Dwight Giles)
I replaced the fuel thermostat (with help from Dwight Giles)
And I was all worried because the car wasn't tracking straight- and the
paranoid me was thinking alignment or other front end work and I discovered
something funny yesterday. I was looking at the tires and they are all the
same size, a matching set. But in looking at one of the rims, I noticed
that it stuck out from the rotor a greater distance than the others. I took
off the rim and compared it to the others and although it looks identical,
the spacing for the lug nuts is different- the depth of the distance from
wheel to rotor. This one was out by more than 1 inch. Must be a DIFFERENT
wheel!!
I pulled it off and put on the spare and voila! Perfect tracking.
For the missing power issue, the Lubro Moly is doing magic- and it is
gaining power DAILY. Car was sitting for some time.
I'm doing motor mounts next and the thing will be like new. It is a
beautiful riding car- with no difference in ride from my 1991 with 73k
miles. Having fun.
