On to step one, fixing everything that’s wrong with this, first and
most present, there is a slight coolant leak in the engine bay, under the distributer coming out of the block it’s a very short hose, picked a new one up at O’Reillys, but
It’s very hard to get to, I’m not even sure what it’s for, might go to the heater core, so I’ll have to get that done soon. As far as coolant is concerned it’s fairly clean however the thermostat is either acting up or is to high of a thermostats because it love to the engine very hot, I put a 180 degree in my base capri and am thinking about doing the same because it works very well. The second issue would be that on start up there is a slight ticking noise that happen for the first 1-5 minutes, the second I start driving it tends to go away, thought it might be the lifters, not sure thought because my base capri has the same thing very slightly and it only has 50k miles, one other this is the oil pressure, seems to not run very high at all, don’t know if that’s a normal thing but it generally runs rust about the low white line if that makes sense. The third thing would be the shifter linkage bushing are gone making that not fun to shift but I have some coming in the mail. The next thing would be that the air bag light flashes, and for some time because someone put tape over it, not sure what it could be but I have heard it’s like the car trying to tell you what’s wrong so I’ll have to look at that for a bit. I will also have to rebuild or replace the headlight motor for the driver side because sadly it doesn’t work, I have quite a few capri parts that I am thinking about selling maybe on eBay or Facebook, I have a wing that is in good condition but needs to be painted I just don’t have space to paint it, I also have a original fully working stereo that I need to get ride of, I’m sure I have more parts I should sell but let me know if any of you want first dibs. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!
