I wasn't aware I shouldn't leave it under the hood. I'll go with a quick disconnect. Let me budget myself around these textbooks first.

 

Really?

That's pretty awesome. I am in some dire need of help with some of my issues. Is anyone available in the near future to help a fellow out? I got some electrical issues that need a looking at, and I need help figuring out where the turn signal switch goes in the steering column. I work until 7 tomorrow and Wednesday, and I'm off all day Thursday.

Thanks in advance.

I spent the whole day yesterday dealing with electrical issues, lights, stereo, etc. My least favorite thing to do, until, late in the day ....... everything started working again! Once you figure these things out they are very easy, until then they are impossibly hard.

It takes patience and skill in removing interior parts without breaking them, again not one of my specialties (fortunately Crit gave me some extra interior panels from his used-to-be red interior SE to replace some of the ones I butchered). Being familiar with the car definitely helps.

If you can limp it over to OGTA next Tuesday I'm sure the electrical whizzes and SE experts can fix or at least diagnose most of the problems in the parking lot. If it's not drivable hopefully somebody that knows what they are doing can come lend a hand.

Or just post details of the specific problems and PHOTOS here or on the tech section, it's amazing what you can do by remote control.

Look forward to meeting you Quad!

And LJNorton too, hope you are still lurking and can buzz on over next Tuesday!

 

[QUOTE=ray green;9448753]That was this one Greg, back when it had the borla exhaust before you guys showed up:
With the RB street system the Silver One is now totally domesticated.


I'm talking about the one I took of you when only the header was on.

 

While at Ray's sunday, we were talking about SA/FB steering box adjustment.
I did a search in the 1st Gen section and found this link.

A little more to it than I thought, but still within our vast skill-set.

 

I forgot to tell you, Roland, that the Logicon has as many as 3 different plugs that it'll reach. Surprisingly, there are a few 3-conductor female plugs with male spades in them that are within reach, but only one will work for the Logicon. I had mine plugged in wrong for weeks and just never fixed it. 5 minutes worth of digging in the dash had it hooked up right and running like a champ. Check the FSM to see if you're plugged into the right connector!

 

I've been digging in that area lately fixing the Silver One's electricity, man there are a lot of wires and connectors back there. If rewiring according to Crit doesn't work I have another logicon you can try, both were working fine when parked.

Last night I got the Clarion working again, using the perfectly functioning Radio Shack power antenna that I salvaged the Tan One. I also had to use the White One's stereo unit, since we couldn't get anything out of the Silver One's. After rewiring all the speakers (I really, really hate aftermarket people) it sounds really, really NICE, as Mike would say.

 

I believe my issue is that I was being a total retard, had to jump the car, and when I used my Black and Decker Jump Start Battery, connected the battery terminals backwards, and I think I fried out a fusable link. I suspect this is the issue, due to when I did the deed, the link got red hot, and started to smoke...

I hope that's the only damage I did....

 

Crit, Dad unplugged the old one and installed it with the same plugs that were hooked up.

 

I am pretty sure I already shared this with Billy and Crit, but wanted to share with the other OGTA members. Check out the R100 and the boosted grocery getter wagon

By the way I have rotary fever worse than ever today. I just added another rotary to the garage - Like i needed another one! This definitely calls for a beer at the next meet.

 

Photos?

Quad, I'll bring a fusible link next tuesday.

 

Ray,

I have not unloaded it out of the trailer yet - but when i do i will post pics. I think i have 1 picture that was sent to me. I will look and post it if i have it. It is an 80 SA.

 

That's another 1.5 12A's equivalent. Nice.

 

She needs work but has alot of goodies

 

Thanks in advance. Just FYI, I don't get off work until 7, so I plan on haulin to get there. How far is it from Gwinnett Place Mall?

Quad

 

Less than 10 minutes. It is just off of Exit 111. What is Pleasant Hill Exit.... 105? If so, that is 6 miles.

 

Awesome. I'll be there as soon as I get off work. Thanks.

Quad

 

nice 7 there roland. i have a set of wheels just like that.

hey ray, what was my ol school 13b worth again? i forget.

 

I would have given it 1 12A equivalent until I drove it Michael, now I'm thinking 1.25 maybe even 1.5 12A's. That thing is the fastest FB or FC I've ever piloted, including Collin's new silver FC.

Roland the Younger this is one sweet looking SA!





That engine looks alot like Michael's, is it an ported old school 13B sitting underneath a Holley? Whoops now I can see in the blow up it's a 12A. Ported I'll bet.

 

from the looks of the holley, that 12a is stock. that carb has a little cap like thingy on the primary bowl(barely see it just under the edge of the air cleaner) like the holley 465 for stock port i used to have.

 

Thanks Ray & Michael. Got some work ahead of me but it will be worth it. I have not had anytime to check out anything on the car yet, but when i do i will let you know. It sure does not rev like a stock 12A but if it is not ported it could have a light flywheel etc!

 

light f/w will make it rev quicker. i have read tho some ppl using the 465 on sp engines so it's still possible that it's ported. the holley over the stock nikki is a difference u can feel. and adding larger ports makes it even more so.

 

I have seen nikki's running 9 sec 1/4 mile in Puerto Rico. Thats impressive!

 

Check this out!
