alright, i recently acquired a 1973 rx2 sedan. got it for $75!!! the body is in BAAAD shape and will more than likely need replacement fenders in the front, the rest is gonna have to be hacked and reworked. . . . totally. hehe. the interior is in GREAT condition. i figured for $75 id be getting something gutted or whatever. . . but thats not the case, im pretty sure i have a car that can be restored. . . successfully. it has a 12a twin-dizzy in it. which is cool, i have to say. . . though, research says get it swapped for a single dizzy.

the car has 495,000 miles on it!!!! WHOA!!! hahaha, based on what the previous owner says, i think i MAY be able to start it up if i can get the carburetor to work properly. i cant find a rebuild kit for it, though. does anybody know where to get it? the advance auto shop out here says its not in stock. can i use a 1st gen kit? i know a lot of NOTHING when it comes to carbs. . . guess im just too young. anyways, id love to just get this thing running. . . even if its crappily running. . . just so i can move it for the time being.

any help would be great. . .

paul

p.s. i dont have any pics of it right now cause my computer wont allow me to post them. . . so, once i can get that squared away, ill post them up.

 

i have a rebuild kit, since my car is sellng i probably wont need it.
let me know if you can t find one soon. Lates Matt

 

You absolutely can't use an RX-7 kit. That's a Nikki carb in the 7, compared with the Mikuni-Solex/Hitachi/Nikki (different) carbs that made their ways through the Hiroshima plant.

 

thats is true, I beliee the kit i have fits all year for the rx2's 12a. carb

 

hey matt, i think i found one, but i dont know if its the correct one. . . if you wanna sell it. . . just let me know.

thanks,
paul

 

That's sick, where did you find that car?

 

Nice find, NOW UPLOAD SOME PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

well i would consider it, I will ask the buyer of my rx2 if he wants it come sunday night. i will let you know. lates Matt

 

some old guy just had it. . . didnt want it anymore. . . $75 later. . . its mine.

i would if i could get my computer to work at home. . . dont worry, ill get some up here.

 

If you need some parts of a donor sedan, let me know. I had to "sacrifice" a couple, to get mine into shape......

 

haha, i may need some fenders. . . these fenders are just about toast. . . but right now. . . i gotta get it running. . . need a carburetor rebuild kit. . . and then more than likely a motor. haha

 

I have The Stock Zenith-Stromberg Rebuild Kit Still in plastic Sealed.Let me know if you need it.Good Luck with the car!! Can somebody find me a shitty Deuce!!

 

im wondering whatll happen once my wife finds out i bought it.

 

Hullie, why did you sell your two, only to start looking again? Did you just want another project, or did you hate the 74 that bad?

 

hullie buy my 71. lol i posted my carb kit for you rotorbrain on your other thread.

 

thanks matt!!!
