Lonewolfe. Glad to meet you.
Yes, I am just up the street a bit (164th). I purchased a rubber windshield seal from 914Rubber, but the fellow who installed my windshield chose to use his own seal, which appeared to be a little more flexible than my piece. I believe it is a generic that all the windshield people have access to.

Hey Pneuhyde!

We're practically neighbors as I'm in Oakland close to Mills. Anyhow, where did you find the rubber windshield seal? I've not seen one of those before. My windshield was glued in with aluminum trim pieces around the outside.

And traveled underneath the car to install my new E-brake cables to match my new brake lines.

Had to drive over the mountains to take my mother shopping. The leaves are past their peak but there is still a lot of color.

i TRIED to drive it today but (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) it didnt want to start, partly because i think the battery is getting weak, but it usually cranks up on first turn, but it was like it was missing or not firing on all 4, like if i had bad points but i have hotspark module-
Saturday it ran fine, after putting in new coil, drove for 15 miles for test drive, ran perfect, came home, idled in driveway for a few minutes while i was monitoring temp and checking A/F readings, then parked it. That was just 4 days ago, so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . almost started, was very rough, died, then would not get going.
didnt have time so i gave up and drove the other car to work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

i'll re-check grounds tonight and maybe switch out the points module and/or FI points and see if that makes a difference- but if feels like a spark/electric issue not fuel.

I talked to the guy who is painting my car this week. I wish he was closer. I need to see what he's doing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
Closer geographically? ... or closer to being finished?


Geographically...he's in San Clemente. Should be laying down color in the next couple days.

Check the connections to your fuel injectors. 1 or more might have become loose. When I bought my car the PO could get it to run right so decided to sell it. I bought it then drove it a couple of blocks away, stopped re-connected all the wires to the injectors and it ran perfectly after that.

After sitting for 31 years with a little gas in it I decided to pull the fuel tank to clean it out. After disconnecting everything, I couldn't get it out, it was wedged in tight.
So I kept scanning the perimeter of the tank looking down from above to see what was hanging it up. Of course thats when it decided to let loose flying up into my cheekbone at warp speed.
So now I have a big welt, but its out!

Fixed most elusive, but major, oil leak on top of engine (-6). It gets blown
everywhere. The breather cover simply would not seal to the vent hose.
I think that the pitting and corrosion of 40+ years is too much.

My thought was thread the breather hole and get an adapter for 1" hose barb.
Of course nothing like that exists locally and I need to get this fixed while the
weather is still good. So this is the reason I like to have some spare aluminum

Pulled my half tank out to install the fan/vent box and drain tubes. ( should help keep rain out now that I drive it on the street)


Tried to put in a full size OEM tank and realized my huge oil lines will not allow it to go in with the current configuration.

Installed a new ignition switch on Saturday. Still won't start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Now it's time for some actual troubleshooting.

Adjusted the rear brake clearance. Everything went ok, and put new 5mm allan caps on. But found the right parking brake cable is not working correctly. Pulled it of the teener, and yep, no movement. So now going to order new cable. Tomorrow I'll be putting new front rotors, seals, bearings.

Forgot to order ebrake rebuild kits from Eric. On there way. So I thought I'd tidy up the hubs, splash guards and rotors.

Antique Brass Rustoleum was the closest I could find to yellow cad. We'll see how it weathers.

On a sad note. Blew a hole in my blaster cabinet gun. Need to change the nozzle a little more often. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
But TP Tools had my replacment parts shipped by noon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Today I received my dwell angle meter and timing light in the mail. So naturally, I set the dwell and timing, which is a MAJOR pain in the ass on a 2.0. Running well now. Waiting on brake lines to get this thing one step closer to the road.

Now I'm just waiting for Spoke's front LED bulbs and I'll be good to go.
The rear LED's are just stunning.
I am switching to Euro front lenses. The running light design is too cool
