New Battery For Todd's AMX...

Todd has FINALLY bought a new battery for his AMX.  His baby hasn't run for a while, even with a freshly rebuilt 401 under the hood.  There have just been too many factors keeping the car in the garage.  BUT, last week, Todd bought a new battery for the car, and after overcoming a few "issues", we got the car started.  Ran like garbage, but it was running.  I think perhaps the car was in shock...

There is a new starter solenoid on order.  Experience has been that the usual store bought Chinese ones weld the first time you use them.  Junk.  When we put my car together, we tried two different types, and both welded the first time we tried to start the car.  I finally had to order a Motorcraft one from a Ford dealer, and it has been working ever since.  I only wish I had bought the beautiful Boston made brass one I had seen at a boat store.  Incorrect for the car, but insane quality!

Anyhoo, hopefully this will be the year Todd's AMX gets to hit the road... at least a LITTLE!
