84 GSL-SE

(1/6) > >>

Well i have finally expanded my tinkering.  I have just received delivery of an 84 GSL-SE to my house to get running.  I am doing this work for a gentleman named Mike out of Northville MI.  He wants the car running again as a daily driver.  It had some issues of blowing the 20 amp engine fuse in the interior fuse block.  Since the issue of blowing the fuse, the car has sat in a garage for 8 years.

I will be bringing it back up to daily driving condition.  I will post pics as i go.

This is the first year that mazda installed the 13B into the 1st gen.  They only installed it on this variant for 1984.

Sounds like, mice have eaten some wires and you have a short. I hate chancing wires, good luck.

My first step is start with changing the ingition starter wires since that is where i here arcing upon turning the key.  I am hoping that particular fix is all it takes. 

Question Joe, do you know where to get the fusable links at that are in the engine bay? I found Atkinsrotary.com carries them.  Is there anywhere else?

Last night i moved the car formally into the garage and i started to put the to do list on my wipe it board.  I removed the hood and hung it on my wall for better access to the engine.  You can see how dirty the engine bay is.  I plan to clean it up so i dont get as dirty working on it.  It will also make it look a lot nicer when I am all done with it.

Eight years of sitting, there are sure to be some things that need replacing. one example is this upper radiator hose connection. It has some holes rusted through it.
