Downpour

[lloyd3]

Had my car out in one of the many big rainstorms that went through Colorado last week. I was trying to get it up to a shop to get the backup lights worked on when the squall hit.  Normally I avoid rain because my car used to leak in various places, so this was an unplanned test.  The water was coming down so hard the defroster and those little stock wipers could barely keep up, and every time I let out the clutch to start out the rear-end would try to break loose, but.....absolutely everything worked and there were no leaks, anywhere.  The even better news was that my mechanic had the back-up lights working perfectly in less than 20-minutes (corroded blade connection in the bulkhead connector).  Now all I have to do is get everything cleaned up again.

That sounds like good news for you!  Time to cruise!

I was caught is a massive rain storm in the Superbird going to the ocean City cruise in, it got so bad i pulled off down a side street and parked, no leaks on the interior, but i bet you can guess where it did leak ...

Damn those bulkhead connectors!

Considering it's 45-years old and still has it's original wiring harness, I can't complain. This is really the first electrical issue I've had with it.  After having the interior completely out of  it and media blasting the body, I had expected some issues. This was pretty minimal.
