1972 Dodge Colt
Working on life stuff.
My oldest son had the engine in his escape go bad.
I am changing that out to help him out.
That 1.6 is so stuffed in this little SUV, I could not be a mechanic in this day and age.
It took me a week and a half to get the head off.
Only to find a crack in the cylinder wall.
I was planning on towing to Clay City for the Slant Six race a week ago.
The weather was iffy and with my 1000 mile tow each way I chose not to go.
They were able to get the qualifying runs in on Saturday before the rain came.
The track ended up cancelling the rest of Sat. and Sunday.
Sucks for the racers, but I saved my tow money for the next event.
I have been working on the Weber linkage in my spare time.
I think, think, I have it worked out.
I forgot to buy left handed 10-32 nuts from McMaster Carr for the linkage rods.
I hope I can find them locally.
In this picture you can see most of the parts used to open 3 carbs at the same time.
I need to fab the throttle cable bracket now.
