Re: [DML] New DeLorean Tech site



Hello Group,

Ok, to do my part in helping create info for the new(bie) Tech Site, I'm
going to go out and take detailed photographs of my Delorean, specifically
to answer the basic questions below - all of which I had when I bought #1619
less than a year ago. Most of these I had to figure out myself, DMCJoe
helped explain many, and some are obvious if you know something about cars.
But in general, it will be a simple guide/photo glossary for all the terms
all you experts brandish about so easily, that some of us may understand,
but don't know where to begin to look to find them. Ok, here's the list:

** What should I look for when shopping for (or just bought) a DeLorean **

(Each of these will have one or two photographs to answer the question. This
is intended to be a "show-and-tell", and not a "how-to-repair".)

What does the front-end suspension update look like?
What does the ball-joint nut update look like?
What does the throttle cable shield update look like?
Where should I look for common frame rust problems?
What does the fan fail bypass look like?
Where is the lambda counter, and what does it look like?
Where is the cooling fan thermal switch (otterstat) to test my fans?
Where is the inertia switch, and how to tell if it's been updated?
Where is the fuel accumulator, and what does it look like?
Where is the cold start valve, and what does it look like?
Where is the oxygen sensor, and what does it look like?
Where is the frequency valve, and what does it look like?
Where is the full throttle microswitch, and what does it look like?
Where is the idle speed regulator, and what does it look like?
Where are the ignition compensating resistors, and what do they look like?
Have the clutch lines been upgraded replaced with SS?

If anyone has some BASIC components they want to include in a list like
this, please email me (and a short description on where to find said part),
and I'll do my best to photograph them and include them. I'll submit them
to the new Yahoo Tech Site and may put them up on a website as well - I was
thinking yourfirstdelorean.com.
