Parts are starting to show up, but I haven't had as much time as I'd like to dedicate to the car. The AC compressor bracket is here, and the compressor should be here in a couple days. Waiting on ordering the evaporator unit until Summit decides to answer a question for me. Picked up a Champion 3-row radiator and shroud on Saturday, but their fans were out of stock. Should have those this week. Also snagged a 280Z voltmeter from a guy off cragislist, along with a C-pillar emblem to replace the one that I'm missing.
Spent a good chunk of Sunday chasing around charging system gremlins. The only thing I glossed over while troubleshooting things was the voltage on the field wire. That's first on the list. My ammeter is permanently pegged, and I'm not getting a warning light at any time. The ammeter is in series with the field wire plug, correct? So if the bulb is burned out or the gauge is toast, that would prevent the alternator from being excited and beginning to charge?
