Hello!
I've recently acquired a '73 Luv and i'm excited to finally join the club. (Side note: My mom had one in '78 that was washed away into the pacific ocean during a storm, found a week later, towed out and driven for another few years before selling it!
) The body is pretty good shape - all straight, very, very little rust (1 small spot) - but there are a few things I think i'll probably need some assistance with as I go.
The first questions I have are really about parts. I think i'm going to need a new radiator at some point next year and I'm not sure where to start looking. Also, this sounds like a stupid question but 3 out of 4 of my headlights are out and when I started looking for replacements online I was overwhelmed by the options. Any suggestions on what to look for (or price range) if I just want basic headlights?
The last question has to do with the fuel gauge. It doesn't seem to be working, but the little ol' man I bought this from said that sometimes it jumps up to about 3/4 full, and sometimes it hovers around E. I realize that I can just calculate how far a tank will get me, but if there's anything I can tinker with before I dismiss the issue then I'd like to try. Any tips before I jump in? Oh, how big are the tanks in these things?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I'll do my best not to sound like tooooo much of a newb, but no promises.
