Here are pictures of the degreased Coach #970 engine bay. It's a wonder I got it home at all, degreasing was very revealing! I'll edit captions individually to highlight "features" as my time permits. | (1 Comments) The homebrew PVC PCV valve, and form-a-gasket seal removed. Revealed some sheet metal screws, which were not oil-tight. Likely a constant flow of oil-slurry down the outside of the motor. | The original PCV hose lies open and unused beside the breather cap where it was once connected. The throttle linkage to the edelbrock performer is a study. | This bus connection appears to have supported the rear aux air conditioner, but not sure how. I've never seen a fuse downstream of a ground bus, so maybe the purpose was 12v distribution? Surely not 115v... :( |
(1 Comments) A side view of the oblique fastener method. I question the need for any of this, it's all coming out. Too much risk if it goes live when I'm busy elsewhere. | This is a chassis battery/house battery switch on the back side, maybe wiped off by a passing mailbox. | Lots of crimp-on's, wire nuts, and zip-ties to nowhere. All to be excised. | The haphazard plug wire routing may explain the iffy ignition going down the road. Barely topping some hills. |
(2 Comments) The 4" PVC tube at right may be storage for the waste tank hose? Is that stock? | (1 Comments) Lot's of hoses to nowhere, need to get in the books and put it back to original. | (3 Comments) Ample room to install an access panel above the engine, with minimal rerouting. That will make life easier and cleaner. Is there a good fire blanket product I could line this compartment with? | (1 Comments) Plenty of room for improvement here! |
