you can send any complaints to my girlfriend,
she took the majority of the pics,
i had to man the gas pedal, "no choke "

she smoked pretty good,still gotta take her on the freeway and get on it,then change the plugs,
glad i did this before my trip to kentucky.

why?

we dont have that **** here,
if we did theres no way in hell my car would pass,

it would costs more to make my car pass an emission test then to just go out and buy a new car.

i picked mine up on ebay for $100.00

what sucks is all the bolts are stainless steel except for the wones that actually hold the wing pieces,
they were black,
now thier rusty brown,
will have to repaint them.


oh yeah you cant go any further back,
the rear bolt holes in the stanchions will not have anything to bolt to

here is what i did,

bought two bottles of atf,
it was the cheapest i think it was standard atf,but there was another name for it,
i dont think it was the atf3,
i also dont think it matters,

anyway,
i looked at the time,
it was 7:00 p.m.
i poured in half the bottle evenly into the primary throttle bores,
while hitting the throttle on the car ever so often,
"this is all while the engine is off of course"
then i cranked it a couple time "bout 5-7" to get everythign nice and lubbed
then i poured in the rest while marking the pully position,
then i tapped the key until the mark from top was now on bottom,
let sit for 14hrs
went out cranked about 10-15 times
followed the steps over again until the second bottle is gone,
but now the mark that was on bottom is now on top,
just to make sure all rotor tips soaked as good as i could get them
let sit for about 20 hrs

went out and removed lower spark plugs before anything
cranked about 20-30 times
stopped to let the left over settle
then cranked again 20-30 times
hooked everthing back up,
fired it up
test drive "real hard on freeway"

new plugs

that is what i did,
not saying its right,but it worked
