Well, I was able to find the drain plug I needed. A M12x1.25 oil drain plug with rubber washer did the trick. The car's now wired, powered, filled with fluids, but just won't crank. Maybe a bad starter, or a bad connection somewhere. No hum from the fuel pump either. All told, though, she's close to running. I even added a sense lead to the stock harness so I can plug an Air/Fuel meter straight into it to see if the car runs lean.

Thanks for the offers of the drain plug, but I'm good now.

 

Holly,

Sign me up for the Maz-Mart tour on the 31st! Maybe we should do a Poker Run or something in conjunction with the day's events?

BTW, my garage is now receiving the finishing touches, should be ready for a rotorhead gathering on the South Side in the next month or so...

Cheers,
Troy

 

Any additional rotorheads who are not on the MazMart open house list, from this post forward, please visit and post in the separate thread in the SE section so they can get a headcount for lunch.

Thanks for your cooperation,

stopping in to say hey and sub to this thread just picked up a 1990 vert a week ago

 

Yeah man (is it Korey, or am I thinking someone else?) anyway, first Tuesday of every month we meet up. Also, there is the Mazmart open house meet that Holly just linked to. Jan 31st at Mazmart.

 

yep its korey.

where are the meets at on tuesday? And trust me i really want to make the mazmart meet but i will be in MD that weekend

 

Jeffery's in Suwanee @ 7:00 first Tuesday of every month.

 

Hey Korey, welcome to the Club! Next regular Tuesday meeting is Tuesday, February 3rd, starting around 6:30 pm.

 

Alright. Another rotory possible for for the 12A count. Ray, what is the record? I saw a couple of pages back that the crossroads guys had 12.8 (although there is some debate about the total - something about hanging chad I think).

The Mazmart meet could end up with a pretty good 12A count.

 

What is the scoop on a mountain run? I have seen this mentioned a few times, but I am not sure what the original idea was. Now is the time to plan a good spring time mountain trip. Maybe we could coordiante with NC, SC and TN guys.

 

This is a fun day. Started it off at Cracker Barrel, the off to the mtns. Where was this again??











^^^^^^^
That road was so steep and narrow. I could of taken most of it in 1st gear. HAHA. A lot of fun.

 

Mazmart doesn't count, for the same reason Ft Yargo didn't count. If it's not an OGTA function, it doesn't seem to count.

 

Yeah, Crossroads doesn't count either, not an Official OG@TA-sanctioned event (not held at Jefferies or the home of an Official OG@TA member). None-the-lees, you can't blame those Crossroad Guys for trying to be like us.

Hey Crit, do you want to be a mod? They contacted me with an invitation, but I'm afraid that when they do the background check they'll discover my criminal past and membership in the communist workers party.

I'm with Mike and Zach, we need another Mountain Day!

 

Ray, you have an addiction. You are a media *****. I swear, every single page in this thread has to have like 20 pictures and 3 videos, at LEAST. All because of you.

It's not really a bad thing but man, don't go overboard.

 

Hey- even though it takes my computer like 20 more seconds to load the pages, Ray's pictures are the ****

And I'm with everyone- another 'rotary run' towards the spring would be awesome. While gas is remotely cheap and I still have a job I could go without having that guy with the Malibu and jackass shirt this time though...

You could have? I DID! hahaha

 

LOL

Cavalier owners....yeah, they are that dumb

 

Oh, this could get interesting. Making Ray part of the establishment. Big brother Ray. It has a nice ring to it.

Crit, adding Ray as a moderator could lead to some new material for your signature.

 

They made him a mod and he was arrested for providing alcohol to minor goats

My headlight switch and TPS and door handle are SHIPPEDDDD so I'll have poppy headlights and a 750 RPM idle in less than a week!

 

Me, go overboard? Never happen, I can't swim.



Me, become a mod? Never happen, I can't even moderate my wife.

 

Do you see what I mean. This is a natural.

 

My car has been acting funny lately. ONly one headlight will flip up, and my speedometer no longer works. also, last night, the tachometer didn't work for about 10 minutes then started working again........ anyone wanna take a stab at what I should do?

 

Chris, for the speedo, check the cable connection at the tranny, it may have shaken loose. If so, the guts of the cable probably slid out. My SE's tach doesn't work when it's cold, because of the damping goo that Mazda put in the hubs of the gauges to damp the sweep of the needle. It keep it from vibrating and driving you crazy on the road. That said, you may also have the same problem on your speedo, given how cold it is.

What happens if you put the dead headlight up by hand?

 

The tach could also have to do with the coil... I think...
Not sure yet but the part-out might be back on.... that said Ive got a headlight motor for you Chris....

Anybody going to the World Of Wheels?.....Im taking my daughter to see sponge bob.. Its $16 at the door $13 if you get a ticket at O'reillys

 

"My car has been acting funny lately. ONly one headlight will flip up, and my speedometer no longer works. also, last night, the tachometer didn't work for about 10 minutes then started working again........ anyone wanna take a stab at what I should do?"

Chris, your 7 has a cold. Mine didn't even start this morning. Antenna won't go down either, although it does on warm days.

The headlight is probably that the plastic ball connection from the lever to the motor broke or popped out on that headlight, this is why one light works but the other doesn't. Happens when it's cold.

The tach and speedo are also probably cold related, I'd wait for a warmer day to worry about it. Mine sputter on cold days but recover when we get back to normal.

 

I have been having hot-start problems...
