Way to go Dave!!!

Now lets close the classic thread.

So do you want to rebuild a transmission yet?




have fun and keep the pedal planted!

Dave,

FABULOUS!

Third time's a charm!

Good job on sorting out the bad injector. What a PITA when "new" parts crap out.

You and Geoff are great inspiration with both of your teeners up and running.

I hope "Third time's a charm" work's out for me also. The 3.2 is at Sixnotfour's getting new valve guides.

Pretty soon all three of us should be up and running.

Time for a gathering!

Great way to start the new year with a running teener!

Happy new year!

Eddie

I really wanted to get the car up and going for Gerry's 16th birthday. He's been good about helping the old man out even though it's gotten pretty repetitive. When he gets his license it's up to the PCA driver's school for a couple of days to learn to handle the car then I'm gonna beat his ass on the AX course for as long as I can. I figure that will last about 4 or 5 times.

The engine starts to really come on the cam about 3500 rpms. Below 3000 it feels like a stock 2 liter. Below 2000 it doesn't want much load (no surprise there). Idle is kind of tricky as there is not much vacuum but what there is is steady. The engine revs like mad. It seems funny seeing the tach go past the numbers. 6600 rpms on the tach input from the MS is 7000 on the stock tach. I set the rev limiter at 6800 with a timing retard of 10 degress and a fuel cut. The shift light will probably be about 6500 on the MS. I'll start leaning out the fuel curve soon and it should rev even quicker. It's gonna be fun to drive.

Wednesday it's check the valves, change the oil, compression check and leakdown test for baseline #'s.

Eddie, good news about your engine coming together. We ought to come over for supervision when you do the install. Advice only costs the price of the beer. I've actually been known to fetch a tool now and then. There's nothing better than cheering on a guy that's working and drinking his beer for the emotional support.

Hopefully Eddie has somewhere warm to do the install as his car port is wide open and cold!
Maybe the shop on California???
