Lots of various items done recently: new alternator and regulator trying to chase a charging issue. Might be the underdrive pulleys, but I'm going to add some grounds on the battery and the alternator to be sure. Painted the gold alternator fan black.
Replaced the crummy black-oxide bolts in the engine bay with the left-over zinc-plated ones I used on the body panels.
Also installed a new fuel sender since the one I installed already was bad out-of-the-box. Two tips on that: put the brass float in a cup of water for 10 seconds or so before installing the sender in the tank and look for bubbles to tell if there's a pinhole in the float. Otherwise the dash gauge will read empty the day after installation... And use some thick grease to hold the rubber gasket in place if the tank is upside down as you install the sender, otherwise it's a huge hassle.
Oh, also installed some LED reverse lights from Mustang Project. And bought their blue LED dash light kit, but haven't installed yet. (Update: I can't get the reverse lights to work, so I removed them...)
Lastly, I signed up for Hagerty insurance to make sure I'm covered if something happens.
