67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
This past weekend I needed the jack stands that held up the GTS to lift the Packard up so I could change the front wheel bearings. before I set the GTS on the ground I was able to install the Z bar. That was a pain in the ***. But it fits better now and the operation is a lot smoother!
I also got it started and adjusted the valve on top of the steering gear so that the wheels dont always dive right. I also looked into the brake leak on the drivers side. was able to get about a quarter turn out of the connections on the distribution block but took notice that all the lines on the caliper were tight. What I did see was some fluid coming out of the bleeder screw. I tried tightening it down a little and nothing. I went with taking a few threads off of the bleeder in case it was bottoming out on the threads and not the seat. Not to sure if that cured it. Ill find out more when I get home next and if there is still leakage, Ill just get another caliper. Not to sure what else I can do.
Removed the alternator so I can take to a parts store and get it tested to see if it is bad. I believe the voltage regulator was good when I took it off my other dart. If this tests good, I am not to sure what else would prevent this from charging. All the wiring is brand new. The only other electrical issue is the turn signals. I flip the turn signal stalk and the lights turn on, just dont blink. I tried different flashers and nothing. Just something I need to look into
