Well, I purchased another teener yesterday, red '74 2.0l with center console, front and rear sway bars. A new member, Chris Spence, had the car for sale locally. I looked at the car last weekend and decided I 'needed' another project car to work on. We completed the deal yesterday. I talked with Paul (URY914) and he agreed to help me transport the car from Chris' house to my new shop, thanks again Paul....
The car is drivable, but it's making a 'strange and expensive' knocking noise, so I felt it would be prudent to tow the car, then have an engine 'expert' diagnose the problem..... Here are the pics.... This is the pre-purchase side shot Chris sent me.... Attached thumbnail(s) |

Well, it's been a couple of very HOT months working on the car. Last month I removed the FI and cleaned the engine and installed the vacuum and fuel lines.
I then installed the engine and got it to run, but it was idling at 3000 rpm. After asking for advice from the members here, I was able to track down the vacuum leaks and I got the car to idle at 900 rpm this weekend.... -- Rob |
