Note to myself that you cannot use multimeter to measure the camshaft sensor.. but crank one you can its between 200 to 400 Ohms.

Camshaft one gave anywhere between 5 -7 Mohms where you measured.

With the last of the car projects leaving with the last of the child-rearing projects, whatever shall you focus on in your spare time ?
Start a whiskey collection, perhaps ?

Yeah, that's probably the worst rotor I've ever seen on one of these cars!

I have to figure out how to distill whiskey from used engine oil.

If anyone needs some strut hardware , I have some…

The ball joint nut is a lock nut and is important to replace, or you have to mark it, and then commit to a 1 day, one week, one month inspection check. It is a really bad day if that comes loose.

I always keep a couple of new ones in my parts box in case I get into a job and thus are not tempted to reuse

987891 is the part number
