OK Ive got the car running!! Idles around 8-900, no droppage of fluids, Im happy!

I dont know if my car is most improved, all Ive done to it is the rearend swap, new wheels and tires, brakes all around, tokico blues in the back, Race pipe, and a Holley w/ a Racing Beat intake, I guess thats not bad since I got the car in late Feb, and I started from scratch!

Oh yeah Ray, Im on # 6!!

 

Kevin called me gay the last time brought that up

 

im stoked on meetin everyone

 

Would you be happy if I called Chris gay too?

Anything with the name "young guys" or "young dudes" is just asking for ridicule

 

yeah you could just go with "young gays with 13b's" and keep the same initials

 

post your house/car with Google Street View!

sweet. here's my 79. this was about a year ago from my estimation.

 

They got my 2nd gen.

 

This Wednesday from 8-midnight Sonic's doing their free rootbeer float thing. Sweet....

 

Hey Brett, it looks from the parts manual like the FC fan hub might just bolt straight to the waterpump pulley, so I can see your confustion. On other rotaries, there's an adapter needed. In any case, I need a fan I can bolt to my FC water pump, so if you've got one, please let me know what you want for it.

 

I'd be the only member!

 

i'd post mine but the only thing in the driveway was my old car: 06 Suzuki Forenza lol.

any way, I got my terminals replaced and tested them so they work, now it's time to test starter with jumper cables from my battery to the poles on the solenoid in neutral of course.

 

No streetview of the house I was living in

 

Hey Kevin, you may also be able to put a screwdriver across the poles on the starter, it might be simpler, but watch out for the spark, it's normal. When you put the screwdriver blade across the starter poles the starter will engage if it is good, so be sure it is in neutral.

Or you might just want to jump start it and bring it to the meeting tonight, let the experts have a shot at it.

No street views out here in Jefferson but I might be able to find an arial view, I've seen the White One in those.

Hey Zach, why don't you cruise over this evening?

 

Things I wish Sabine had:

- More power
- More power
- More power
- More power
- Cold A/C
- More power
- Decent stereo
- More power

Yep.

 

ur not the only one wishing for more power. when i first built it i thought i'd be a contender, but with all these ppl going turbo, i still can't compete. i'd like to be the one ppl point at and say "u don't EVEN want to mess with that."

 

Kevin, you crack me up. Long live OGTA.

 

ground cable:


i got around to removing the ground cable and could this be the root of my starting problem? it looks pretty bad and i'm heading to the store to replace the connector after cleaning the end.

 

Ill be in the 7 tonight!!

 

What's the show-up time, 6:30?

 

I don't think there's one either, IIRC. There's 4 bolts that bolt the fan directly to that spinning-cup thing the alternator and air pump belts rotare around. And I don't have an extra fan- I gave Collin the one off of the 'vert a while back for Sabine.

 

You bringing the 2 out tonight?

-billy

 

replaced the negative cable to the battery because it looked bad and still no go with the starter? could it just be the starter solenoid that went bad even though there's no clicking whatsoever? I can still push start it, but can someone bring some proper tooling to the meet? mainly a good 14mm socket wrench? because the 1950s one i'm using isn't the greatest and trying to loosen the 14mm bolt at the top of the starter doesn't budge even when I sprayed WD-40 and let it sit..would be much appreciated.

 

No problem - I'll just keep an eye on the junkyards. If anyone comes across a stock FC fan, let me know. I forgot that I've got an FC water pump, and the old fans won't bolt to it. No fan for me

Hey Jeremy, you bringing The Two?

 

Good work, Kevin. Did you ever figure out why the Nikki was puking fuel in the secondaries. It does not make sense to me why the fuel was being poured into the secondaries without the car being driven. I thought the secondaries were vacuum activated and should never be activated at idle.

See you and Dirty Red tonight.
