There are 2 of them on the side of the dizzy. they fail, it doesn't run. New ones $80 each, used ones fit in your change pocket.....any veteran had a few stored away, 2 in the glovebox and 2 in the toolbox at home. Ooooh and of course, at least one for Sean to mooch when he's in a bind. BTW Sea, come by after work tomorrow and help with the install! The springs weren't free buddy.....

You can have the header, I have absolutely no use for it because I dont have one.
Your right they wern't free. My arms are like Jelly after that install!
I'll see if I can get away after work (after 9). Im always up for a good old engine install.

I swear my exhaust manifold or flange is leakin... but I ripped off the heatsheild and stuck my hand down there and didn't feel any leaks, you can hear some sort of leak tho... unless these rotarys make alot of noise in the manifold??? And I got my arm stuck against the hot maifold for about 5 seconds, god damn that burnt! I got branded by my Mazda! haha
So I'm transfering my insurance tomorrow, if not then by the end of the week(tomorrow I dont work)
I will need a little assistance with checkin out my carb "setup" it definitly looks like the previous own moded the carb... and ya.. I donno what all is done to it, just need a lil help.. maybe he didnt do it right, cuz I don't seem to have that much power...
I also pulled the air pump out, considering it wasn't connected to anything, it barley turns, it was taking up space, and weighs a few pounds...
AND what wheels were you thinking of?? cuz I just don't want these 13x5.5 wheels, Like common, I need 17x8 or something that looks good and will fit some nice tires...
