IIRC when I fired her up last night around 127k on all original drivetrain and rust free bod Posted couple of pix as I believe still has factory wires, etc. Lesson I've learned is "don't" from past use rubber "conditioner" on underhood seals...

Well, I deviated from the theme bought one of those Lith-Ion boosters and used one of the handful of cheapo Harbor Freight clip on battery tenders

Not much color to be seen lately due to oil seepage from valve covers, etc. used to really get bent outta shape about that kinda stuff, lately not so much. Consider myself pretty lucky to have scored this #s matching w all original purchase paperwork etc. yrs ago and realized again last night if I wanted to or had to thin the herd...this would be the one to keep...and that's saying a lot IMO as right next to this is our '79 Y84 W72 WS6 4-spd

Below are more pix that were posted on Bobs Excellent Gold Car Thread (yeah, yeah I know "what a piece of junk our Martinique is" right?)

I can only post a single pic per reply from my iPad so here is the series specific to our '78 TA BTW - the wiring is blue line & white line on seperate black wiring coming off of the harness up near the top of the fender close to the plastic air intake extension
