I finally got it running, after a week of fiddiling with it it runs, had alot of stuff from me trying to decarbonize the engine smoked for about five min. died twice during that time. filled my 1500 sq ft shop with a cloud of smoke

Never thought I'd own a car that'd reach 7k without a problem.

Is it just me or does it sound a little like a two stroke??

 

isn't it sweet?

congrats!

i can only hope that the fb i am buying will start and run!
i pick it up next week. can't wait! it sat 5 years

 

What do you think finally de-carbonized the engine? I used Sea Foam, made tons of smoke, cleared any potential bugs out for at least 6 blocks even now though, I have to replace my engine. Am excited for you.

 

Wasn't carbon locked as I had first thought, it had a bind in the clutch area.

 

DAMN THING SPUN THE RING GEAR OFF THE FLYWHEEL!!!!!!

And nobodys got a 54mm socket to get it off

Really pisses me off.

 

mine sat for over 6 years in a guys garage with no motor in it... it amazes me that everything works, besides the front brake calipers needing to be rebuilt... i think it might need a new brake master cylinder too, but no biggy... the motor goes in it within a week yay... street ported 6 port 13B mmmm

 

sears sells a 2 1/8th inch thats the same size as 54mm

 

I ENVY YOU

mine does not run yet...

 

Yea, but mine did and now it doesn't.

What sucks is that I need it to get back and forth from work I toasted the clutch in my truck so I'm up a creek without a paddle until at least Wednesday.
