Update:

Mounted the exhaust clamps by extending the bolts off the back of the transmission.

Tightened the accelerator cable and straightened the cable angle.

Added oil.

Added fuel.

Turned motor.

Distributor wasn't assembled right and was loose - too much play.

Changed out Petronix back to points and condenser.

Plugs were fouled and were finger tight. Installed new plugs and tightened them.

MSD was wired wrong. Took 2 hours to figure out and fix. Was set up for an 8 cylinder.

Got fuel pressure but the PO had piped 2 filters and pressure gauge. Showing 3 lbs at the gauge but I am going to eliminate the second filter.

Motor started hard after significant effort but not for long. Carbs have big venturis for 40s and don't seem to match a 2.4. Pulled the carbs and sent out for a cleaning / rebuild.

Drove it around the block. Its loud. Distributor is wrong. Going to have to send it out to synch up with a 2.4 with carbs.

Alternator is shot too. Only getting 13 volts when revving and the gen light is on.

Nothing like getting done... only to have to pull the motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I need to pull the distributor, but it won't come out. I have it at TDC #1, with the rotor pointing at 1. Took the bolt off the adjuster and can move it back and forth, but it will not come up and out. Any ideas?

Here she is at Rennsport Reunion VI.

Turned out the distributor was off a couple teeth and a bunch of other stuff. The car is fully sorted for safety but needs some rework on the carb side to get it dialed in. New tires eventually, a proper front valence, and a parasitic battery drain. Short list.

Actually considering selling in 2019. I want to build another car.... stupid hobby.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Post some ABM 'before' pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

It’s an original ABM with a new paint job post metal flares. The PO’s picts are mostly the motor and parts. When I got it, it was non-opt, non-running, nothing connected, with most of the parts including the interior in boxes. Sad to say it took 4 years but there you go.

The PO said it was a Slits motor. It’s a 73.5 7R 2.4 but I have no idea if it has a stock cam or any valve / head work. The carbs are getting it going but it’s sucking gas and power seems to be at 75% at certain points. Pretty looking though with shiny parts!

I picked up a zero mile 3.0 but that’s a longer adventure....

I have an opportunity to build a real dream 914....
