Zac_F71's 71 Demon
Well got a break in the rain a couple days ago.. pretty much figured out why it won't idle I think (mixture of the carb, and small vacuum leaks at the intake gaskets)
Got the car to idle, checked the total timing and was ok (36* @ 2,750rpm or so). Got it to idle at 950-1,000rpm - sounds almost stock with the exhaust leaks haha
Got it out for a drive! Sadly half way through the drive - during the video I shot, the shifter cable came loose, and ended up getting stuck in 1st gear. It was fun though!
Also sadly melted the speedo cable so none of the gauges work. Had to hold a infrared temp gun out the window to make sure it didn't get hot - which it didn't!
Had to try to do a burn out! Well it did one! I didn't do it long though with everything being new and stuck in first gear didn't want to break anything! at least a 40ft mark in front of the house!
Sadly it was over right after the burn out.. parked it in the garage, and started seeing smoke.. well look under the car.. sure enough the rear main seal is pissing oil.. got a new rear main seal kit, 2 oil pan gaskets, and a pair of Mr Gasket intake gaskets.. and sadly the motor has to come out.. but not for long..
Crappy video of the drive!
The burn out mark!
