You could put an immobilizer in the starter circuit or maybe the fuel pump wiring, this will stop 99% of thieves, my favorite antitheft tech is whenever I have to leave my car in an exposed area is to whip the rotor out and put the cap back on, small and easy to carry... When i think of who would target these cars i think of young people joy riding, if it cant start then its not going anywhere, i really cant see a reason to steal these cars unless its at the extreme end of performance mods... although as they become more collectable this may increase.. some cheeky crackhead stole my external visor off my car when it was sitting in my driveway, didn't bother trying to start it or go thru the car itself, change in ashtray still there and stereo... Hmmm

At that price it might be worthwhile, lots of the ex CN parts have dramatic improved in recent years, id take a gamble lol, especially if its the last real piece to the puzzle.

The 1 wire coolant sensor is for the gauge, and the two wire is for the ECU.

The CTS [coolant temperature sensor] is a thermally sensitive resistor. It has 2 wires, and is located on the lower part of the thermostat housing. I have posted a thread with various readings of Ohms vs temp vs Volts on this forum.

Oh yeah, got the tires on, alignment, and cleaned up my hub caps. I am a huge sucker for 80's styling and this is definitely cherry in my book. Love it.

I also have been working on some of the body work - I'm basically a professional painter now:

I also rebuilt my drivers side axel, and by that I mean I replaced the inner boot. It had a small pin hole of a crack but that was enough to sling grease everywhere. Let me tell you what - this was the first time I had just replaced a boot, and although it wasn't overly difficult, it was a fun learning experience. I believe these to be the original axels, despite not being green. They have the exact ridges and 'cooling fins' as described in the factory manual, and I don't think that the replacements you can get these days have anything like that. So that increased the importance of replacing the boot to keep this one functioning.
