Welcome to the group Gary. Electrical schematics: Bob Zilla was selling a revised/updated schematic with the profits going to a charity. Perhaps Bob can speak up and fill you in on the details. The DeLorean Owners Association, D.O.A., also has a schematic available. http://www.delorean-owners.org/ Parts are available from several vendors, and each give competent advice and help. If I missed some, I'm sorry.

This group is near you. I would replace the stock cooling bottle with the SS ones that are available. Keep the original for competition. When I took my car out of storage, I cleaned every electrical connection that I could find. Don't forget to clean the grounds. They cause a lot of the problems. Purchase the manuals that are available. Also, the DOA sells a set of the back issues of the DeLorean World magazine. They are kind of pricey, but do have a lot of valuable tech features. My $0.02 worth.
