Okay, I decided to make a thread for random questions, so I and other B4B members can ask their questions without filling up other peoples threads with all kinds of random nonsense:biggrin:
I will start... I need to know how to wire up my ESC to my '78`s wiring harness, but it has a N/A harness, so will it even have the 2 wires(Green/Orange) that I need? or Will I have to wire it up myself?
and who sells the best and who sells the most affordable boost gauges?
I know someone knows.
Well, here is some of the stuff I got... the camera kept dieing, so I didn`t get a lot of pics
You think it looks dirty now? You shouda seen it when I got it home... looked like a ball of black tar
I put the hood on the car tonight to see how it looked... much better:biggrin:
It was caked in mud/dirt/oil... so thick and dried on, I had to use the buffer on it for 2hrs with soap, water, grease and wax remover, lacquer thinner, rubbing compound, scratch remover and finally wax idk why, I`m just going to repaint it anyway:biggrin:
I hope I can get an aluminum intake from Aj, cause the fker is heavy Has a PERV and knock sensor tho:biggrin: I sprayed it down with carb cleaner, that`s why its all rusty.
That`s all the pics I got right now, I will get more tomorrow.
a little eastwood carb renew will make that carb look like new.
now that you waxed that hood you know its now going to be a pain in the rear to paint.
not a bad looking intake all you need to do is sand blast it and give it a coat of paint. it will look as good as new. as you said i would get a alum one from A.j
You do know that the ports on the heads were increased in size after 1978? Make sure you match them up year-wise. Do you know what year the intake is?
If you can get an aluminum 1980 intake, you should swap heads to a 1979 and later set. You will also need to deal with relocating the knock sensor to the block (where there is no hole on a 1978).
This was my carb. after day 1, took me 4 days of cleaning it up....
Bad cell phone picture, but this is it now
This may sound dumb but why do you have a breather on the EGR tube?
eastwoodWho sells that carb cleaner? I never seen it anywhere before. I`m going to paint the intake to look like aluminum or red to match the heads... even if I don`t use it.
