Alright, alright, I'll grab you some pictures tomorrow. Anything you'd especially like to see?

Unfortunately, I'm well more than a hop, skip and a jump away from VA, so I'll have to try my luck with a local shop for the master cylinder job.

Today's progress... I gave it a new battery. Parking lights and headlights work, along with the dimmer switch. Chief Pontiac on the hood lights up, too. Motorized radio aerial moves up and down (though I didn't exercise it the whole way). Floor light switch works, and the "is the door open" switch works too.

Radio buzzes when on, but no clear signal. Dashboard lights don't come on, other than the "Bright Lights" indicator atop the speedometer. Don't know where the horn button is. I assume that some of these only work if the car is running, so we'll have to wait for the fuel flush for fuller tests.

Almost installed the battery backwards, incidentally - I think the cables got replaced at some point. Figured out (what I think is) the right direction by comparing the size of the terminals. Negative has a short cable that connects directly to the engine, positive has a much longer cable that stretches backward and into The Depths.

Tomorrow's projects: start removing the fuel tank and try to find the fuse box.

PS. Started watching the videos linked by Sirrotica. So far I've learned that my car has the optional E-Z-Eye tinted glass, and is wired for a trunk light.
