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!!

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 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
