I've decided that I'm just cursed, today. So, I calmed down a bit and stared at the car for a minute or two. I figured I'd try getting the manual antennae up and clean it with some solvent to free it up.

A few tugs and pulls later, the thing was moving pretty nicely. In fact, I chuckled to myself while extending it as if to say, "Screw you, bad luck. I'm in charge here!"

...Then it came apart in the middle.

I think I'll just go see what else breaks. May as well find it all today and be done with it. Why have ten bad days when you can have just one, right?

Anyone happen to know the resistance per foot of the nichrome wire used in the fuel sender? I can fix it, but it's gonna need new wire, and I'm having a heck of a time getting it near straight enough to measure with my ohm meter. Yeah, I know I could just buy a new sender, but I can fix this with the right wire, and save a lot of cash in the process.
