My next project with the car is to fix the damn leaking front window. It would leak down onto the back of the gauges, into the fuse box then exit on your left leg and run into your shoe while your driving. not fun, so I pulled the front window then realized i might as well re do the vinyl top...

Been a long time since I've updated. I haven't done much lately. The other day I had the car on a lift and could check out my front end. It really felt like a bag of crap going into corners even with bigger torsion bars and sway bars all around. I came to find out my idler arm had play at the...

The numbers on the choke horn will tell you what carb it is. Then you can figure out what to do once you know what size it really is.

1985 toyota celica, I'm putting a ford 5.0 in it.

Sorry I haven't updated here in a while, I have been busy working on my other car. I have been driving the dart all over and it hasn't skipped a beat. I got caught up in a wicked downpour the other day, the leaky front window soaked my feet. On the bright side the brakes worked amazing in the...

You have a small leak somewhere I think.

Put my wing on today

The car has been inspected and running and driving for a week or two now. Ran good but still seemed like there was a bunch more power to be had. I couldn't power brake the car up it would just fall on its face when i applied the brakes. Seemed like it should have had more to it when Id do a full...

So I took the carb off and cleaned it out with carb cleaner. Didn't notice any blockages when i was spraying. Put it back together bolted it up. also put a better pcv line on. Started it up and it runs and idles great now! Took it around the block and it seemed to run great. Speedometer wasn't...

edelbrock 600 cfm vacuum secondaries with an electric choke.

Oh my god, what a rough 2 days its been. Yesterday i pulled the intake off, what happened was the kit came with 318 intake gaskets 340/360 ports are slightly larger. I was under the impression that they just made all the gaskets in 340/360 size. It was a very slight missmatch that somehow I...

Cams good, I checked it. I also saw some black marks by where the intake runner meets the head. I sprayed some carb cleaner on there and the idle went up. I think I have a bad intake gasket. Better than a bad cam I guess.

blah, My carb had a vacuum leak where it met the intake fixed that all up and the idle was steadyish at least but, It still ran like a bag of ****. started going around the distributor taking a wire off at a time, found a dead cylinder. Figured it was a spark problem, so i swapped wires, cap and...

I've got 245/60/15 up front and 275/60/15 in the back.

Yeah I checked the springs and cable. I was hoping to mess with the engine today but it was not as nice out as i expected. I just screwed around and hooked my tach and reverse light up. And found out my gas gauge still doesn't work. tested the old gauge and it was still in working order. so...

yeah I am thinking it might be leaking at the pcv. I yanked on the hose today and it didn't seem very tight.

Spent the past couple of days messing with my oil leak and swapping to a working instrument cluster and a few other little odds and ends. Going to try and get it running better too but I wanted to fix the oil leak and let the rtv dry up good before I ran it.

Man that think looks good, I'm jealous!

very frustrating, Started the day out by noticing the ends of my intake manifold are leaking oil. :no: Set the timing which with this other distributor is advancing properly. It was running a bit better with proper timing. couldn't get it to run any better though. Idle was being weird, i...

First issue was the exhaust was hitting the drive shaft, sort of fixed the issue but it might need more attention. After that was done i drove it around and got on it a bit still wasen't feeling rite. Swapped distrubutors and now its feeling alittle better but we set the timing by ear so I have...

Woot, re-registered online. Time to fix this header and go for a drive.

You can fix it!:cheers:

I finally got underneath and greased everything and adjusted and put the spring on the clutch. It was one of those jobs that fought me every step of the way. anyway I also put my shifter knob on and banged through some imaginary quarter mile passes. I just need to clearence the headers more and...

I like it, I think I am going to get lots of comments about how its not mopar paint and not factory color scheme. first person who saw it mentioned that. Oh well i think it looks cool.

I put the grill in today, What a pain in the ***! I broke one mounting tab too. But its in there.

Got It all painted up today. Not original mopar colors :finga:

Well I'm operating on a real low budget, I am going to school rite now so I don't even have a job. I just make a few bucks here and there. my dad is a body man so that helps a bit with that stuff. I only have 2 cars both have turned into projects so i guess I'm sinking money into both but, I put...

Painted the trunk black the other day but haven't put it on just yet. I got around to working on my grill. There was a big piece broken off and the previous owner of the grill tried to glue it on all sloppily, which broke rite off before i got it home. so I had the missing piece with some...

Going to keep the slant 6? I think you could get 25mpg but 30 might be a stretch. Maybe efi would help get to 30 mpg? Got any plans for the ugly 73 nose? Before I found my 72 nose for dirt cheap I was thinking of cutting up the pointed part and flattening it out then ditching the grill and...

FWIW, the choke was stuck. Anyway today it was cold and windy as hell rain and snow are coming. So it seemed like a good time to tackle one of my projects i could do indoors. I've had a go wing for a while now sitting in the box. Last summer I bought a go wing provision trunk lid and for...
