Our Clark Cortez’s ailing carburetor had created a lack of progress in our RV restoration, so the time had come to make a decision: We chose to throw it to the side and get electronic fuel injection (EFI).

We have huge electrical system plans in our RV restoration: KC fog lights, Hella headlights, LED upgrades, vintage Helphos spotlight, rock lights, new fuse boxes, and much more!
After the price of a starter motor and alternator were deducted from our checking account, we found ourselves forced to buy a new battery. This made me begin to realize the expectations of a vintage RV are that, well, there are no expectations with a vintage RV.
With nearly every exterior light not working, we soon found the culprits: Wires were scattered with butt and screw-on connectors while other wires were cut without protection on the ends and therefore frayed ends splayed. Still more wires were leading to, well, unused wires. And all of this was apparently our Cortez’s norm.
Andy and I stood back to look long and hard at our work. Even though it was a small task, this was our first job we could see, our first visual gratification . . .
