before reading your post i had actually opted to replace all the fuses - but i think they're most if not all Al - not Cu. you think i should find all Cu fuses and swap them again?

also, the back of the air filter housing is coming into contact with the engine bay (section in front of the battery), and it was very tricky adjusting the valves closest to the passenger compartment due to lack of room... do you think this could be caused by collapsed engine mounts?

drove her 380 miles today (business road trip) and she did great. antenna's broke and i haven't tried the cassette so it was a relatively quite & peacefull trip. bad OTR truck wreck in the median of I81 (staunton area)...
