Less than 3 hours from me ... if my workplace wasn't closing the doors in July I'd be on my way this weekend! I assume the white car does have a title? Depending how things work out over the next few months, I may be back in touch.

Seems the writeup is still there, but my links are broken. Link address does appear to still work if you copy/paste it into the browser. Maybe I'll find some time to fix that Poly Bushing Install
-
Those axles definitely don't look original. Even if there wasn't a sticker, they are way too clean. As for greasing the bushings I know there were specific ones that got grease on one side and not the other. Wonder if my old write up still exists ...

I just reached up underneath and unplugged it. Then the nut came right off. I may have had the radio bezel out though, it's been years. Replaced mine with an aftermarket socket because I had 12V plugs that didn't work well with it. Putting in a USB plug is a GREAT idea! Why didn't I think of that ...

Welcome to the addiction!

I think it all has to do with some Brandon guy.

Difficult steering after Coupler replacement
psu_Crash replied to jcat's topic in Newbie Question and Answers
Have you tried to bleed the steering box? I know mine acted very odd when there was air in the lines. Easy turn, then difficult and it would be a little jumpy as I assume assist was coming on and off. Can't see the coupler doing that. Does it do it with the engine off and wheels off the ground? -
Megasquirt on TBI questions.
psu_Crash replied to BlueCuda's topic in MPI/Standalone Trials and Tribulations
Should be some links in the MPI forum. When I originally set mine up fuel only on TBI it was relatively quick and easy. Hit me up if you need help. I'm sure I have a slew of tunes from TBI cars over the years -
Usually vacuum issues from what I have seen. Mine had a cable with most of the sheath gone, but still worked.

Welcome Aboard Ginger Stig!

Might be worth taking measurements and just hit up McMaster-Carr for some flanged rubber plugs.

Looking now it's more like 3 hours north of you in Decatur TN. Still not too far off. You are down near Jimmy then.
-
I would be interested to see what others have done too. My antenna is still there, but just to plug the hole. In my current paint/resto phase I debated using bumper repair to fill the hole and smooth it over.

That picture had me all kinds of screwed up. Then I realized it's a right hand drive I don't have parts to help out though. Not even sure the US spec cars had these? I will be looking when I get home Bump for good luck!

Welcome Aboard! You say you aren't very mechanically inclined? You are going to have a good time with this car then One way to learn though. Dive in and we will be here to help get it back together.

How did the American scrapyard die? Several SQs in video
psu_Crash replied to ucw458's topic in Just plain ol' B.S.
I spent a lot of time in junkyards searching for a part that might not be there. Even if I didn't find what I want I always enjoyed just wandering and checking out everything. Lucky enough to still have 3 decent yards within an hour of my hometown. Rarely anything cool in there though. That stuff get sold whole. -
Best of Luck! And thanks for being the guinea pig with that ajusa gasket. Looks like I'll stick to the "MLS" gasket or a Fel-Pro in the future. I completely understand the "no idea how many times I've pulled a head" Pretty sure I could do it blindfolded

I often check in while at work

Power Steering High Pressure Hose Replacement
psu_Crash replied to Gregster1234's topic in Virtual Mechanic
In my experience getting them off isn't hard. Getting that hard line back on the steering box though is a serious pain. That's why I went with all flexible lines now. Which brought on it's own set of issues ... but I digress -
Car Won’t Start – But Has Good Compression, Spark and Fuel
psu_Crash replied to Alpina_Blue's topic in Virtual Mechanic
Same thing I was thinking. Make sure the distributor ignition timing AND cam timing are still correct. It's easy to mess up the timing when replacing the timing chain. Does it spit and pop randomly when cranking? -
Congrats Tux! You are far more patient than I. When mine wouldn't come out the BFH had a different idea. Luckily a member hooked me up with new bolts back then. (Thanks Jimmy!)
