k as in my other post, i have a 76 300d, this is my first car, and needs a few repairs, so any and all help would be very appreciated. i'm not very mechanically inclined, so great detail would also be very appreciated
76 300d 107,945 miles
*post may be long*
bought car at sealed auction, payed 701.99 after first three weeks went to start it and wouldnt start. i suspected battery, got a jump and went to two auto parts stores (o reilleys, and advance auto parts) and got battery and alternater test, both told me it was the alternator (made me very said
) so i went to an alternator specialist here in town. (lex, ky) they told me they didnt know that they were talking about and it was the battery. got battery replaced, and havent had probs with that since
anyways problems with car: (in no particular order)
antenna does NOT work, it is a brand new antenna, but doesnt work????
ac doesnt work- car did not have a/c belt on it when i got the car, so i assumed it does not work. even though the a/c compressor does not seem to be seized
vacuum locks do not work- assume leak but dont know where, i also assume the resevior is not holding vaccum, vacuum trunk lock does not work either, fuel door vacuum lock works, but ONLY if you lock the car right when you cut it off
shifts sorta hard, seeing as the chassis is a 115, i think it was said the shifting on these models is not vacuum modulated. something about the linkage on top of the engine being adjusted
driver side window gets stuck halfway going back up, have to pull on window and press up button up as same time to get up
cruise control goes in and out, sometimes works, and sometimes doesnt, dont really care about it as much as other non working stuff
rear window heater, have to hold knob, light goes out once you let go
any and all detailed info would be helpful please describe i might not know certain terms, will take pictures to help if requested chassis is 115, model 76 300d
keep in mind im a high school student, w/income about 700/month, thanks and thanks
