Okay, I will. I just did a proportioning valve easily on mine tonight, a =

years back, I wouldn't have even known what it did/where it was. Of cours=

it
was my ineptitude that caused the leakage to begin with. (note, if you ar=

doing a MC, don't grab onto the nutlike part on the end of the valve, go =

the two flat spots further in, or it'll leak fluid, oops). But I also did=

another incarnation of the main wiring (Free Electrons, version 5.0), and=

looks great. Relays are hidden, no more rat's nest on the battery termina=
ls,
etc. The car even starts and the lights work and everything! And a new
(cheapie) antenna so the radio works now too, I don't care about it that =
much
due to the MP3 player.
In a way, I'm glad mine was so neglected, it's made me learn a lot.

And FWIW, I did no homework tonight, my day at work was beyond hell, tomo=

That took me back a few years. I recall asking the list this same questio=

when I first got mine, now I feel I've seen almost all of these cars' par=

disassembled. Thanks to you guys for your patience, and continued
helpfulness.
What a great group.
