Changing all that tonight i drove it rounda hood saturday, started it last night can't force myself to daily drive it til i get the exhaust on. open DP ftl ... and i STILL cant find that rattle in the rear, still think it's the right rear strut but i KNOW it was tight going in that's what she said I had that not long ago, ended up being a strut mount, i couldn't find anything wrong by hand even after I took it out, but i swapped them and noise went away Another note, motors in, but still have a ways to go http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/skullzaflare/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150916_100558_zpsxlxgkzqn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarisman14 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 ^^Sweet deals on those! I started delving into tuning theory last night. I'd rather go into it as informed as possible then just tweaking with no idea what I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88351wtsi Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Replaced a dry rotted heater hose, filled up with anti freeze, set timing and took the red 88 I just put the newly machined head on to the gas station for her maiden voyage. After the head work and porting it spools up pretty fast. Still got a few bugs to work out but expected after it sat for a few years. Debating on getting leather seats recovered and new paint or just sell her as she sits. Was planning on keeping her but since wife just bought a new ride I need to get rid of something.

Skullzaflare Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 what was wrong with the previous car? rust issues? why did you swap to another chassis?Large sections of floor board missing, core support has been replaced from a po accident, holes at wheel wells, holes in door jams, 5 speed ready to blow. New chassis is auto, the diesel likes 2300 at 70 better than 2900 lol, made the ride alot nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Last week, put in gas & tried to start FINALLY, but MSD box passed away. No spark. Shoot. Going with SDS's coil pack ignition now, which means distributorless, newer wires, & swapping to different Hall sensor. Pulled SDS & shipped up to them in Canada to get swapped up to newer version EM5-F with datalogging since they need it anyways. Should arrive today & be back in time for me being away for a week. October it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
