I remembered the cover for under the steering rack. A pretty ugly bit of metal.

I think I am addicted to metal work. I enjoyed an hour or so with hammer, dolly, and other stuff, and got to this. It still needs welding on a couple of cracks.

I am curious about the paint. One trailing arm has reasonably intact black paint, but this side is almost paint-free.

So odd, mine had what I imagine to be the same "5" on the drivers side arm. I taped my off and kept it when I repainted it.

A bit of welding and grinding today, to finish up the steering cover panel.

And then one more round of hammer work and straightening. Ready for blasting, and paint or powder-coat (TBD).

With the table cleared, I got back to electrical work today. First up was the alternator.

I pulled the rear cover. Pretty nasty.

To warm up, I started with the ignition harness. First step was some cleaning to remove dirt, grease, and corrosion.

After a bit of work, it looks pretty good.

Anyone know where to source these hard plastic connector boxes?

The one problem to fix is a splice and non-stock connector.

Since the distance is short, I want to replace the entire wire, starting at the plug.

So that got me motivated to organize all my electrical tools and supplies. The trusty soldering iron.

And my supply of wire, looking a bit low. And no heavier gauge yellow wire.

Before ordering more wire and parts, I need another look at the main harness. So out of the box again...
