Hey there....

Was wondering if there were any willing and warm bodies that would like to come help me tinker with my 74 1.8L.

Here are some things that I'd like to look at ...

The engine runs hot so I'd like to look into what might be causing that. I know there are a myriad of things that might have something to do with it, but y'all probably have way more knowledge than I do as to where to start.

Also, the FI system was taken off the car and replaced with a single carb by the P.O. The car run's OK, but doesn't have the "get-up-and-go" that I remember from my previous 1.7 '73 (with FI intact). I would love to get a handle on how I can improve the performance.

Most of the cosmetics are great, but I keep having problems with the passenger side window coming out of its track. I'm wondering if there is something wrong that I just can't see / Don't know about.

Anyway... Would love to have some help, and I'll by Lunch and Beer (beverage of choice) for those in attendance.

Thanks in advance...
