85 gsl
i guess i can start this even tho it will be a very very slow build lol
paid $1,600 for the car in september of 2011 car was 100% stock! so far the original exhaust was taken out and has now been replaced with just a thrush turbo muffler welded about 8" away from the factory manifold. all vacuum and emissions have been deleted. omp and acv have been blocked off and cab stripped down. https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...42176119_n.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...58422000_n.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...06645138_n.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...29125787_n.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...81400061_n.jpg old school side draft intake monifold...... $135 https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...7%20GSL/kk.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...%20GSL/kkk.jpg now i just need $400 for a side draft carb :cry: how many of you can say you have the window paper and the owners manual from 1985?

Well here it is.... i forgot to take pics before i took it apart, but trust me it was pretty bad!
i still have alot of parts to take apart, but this is where i'm at now https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot-4.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot-6.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot-5.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot-3.jpg there was alot of dirt floating inside https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot-2.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot-1.jpg |
i noticed that all the omp lines were leaking oil and i ended up braking 2 of them getting the carb off, but i already have a new omp block off plate so i guess it's time to throw it on. i'm also going to take out the nozzles that spray the oil into the carb and block them off as well. i'm going to try and keep the carb as clean as possible so i'll have to read up and see everything that i can leave off of it and i will paint it as well.

i don't have the rebuild kit yet, but i was bored so i took the old carb spacer.... you know the one with the giant plastic piece running around the outside of it?
i broke off all the plastic and used my drimel and sanded down the sides so it looks like it never had it lol... i hate the big bulky look! better now :D https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...enshot-1-1.jpg https://i648.photobucket.com/albums/...Screenshot.jpg it was pretty messy lol |
sense i have ample time to do this carb and i hate how cluttered it was factory i decided to eliminate everything that i don't. all vacuum and oil ports will be gone!
