Went and saw a friends 210 today. Working on a 3TC Turbo swap. It's got an S10 Blazer diff, stock paint, seats, EVERYTHING. Super clean. Also, the sky was quite nice.

PM'ed

God Mike I'm so jealous! It's beautiful there. I love the weather down here though. It's about 70 degrees every day for a week!

Oh Jesus! Saint Pattys day is gonna be a blast!

Where in Georgia are you located????

I considered having a roll bar in my 210 with door bars to protect in side impact. My GF rides with me a lot and the thought of having her hurt in a side impact scares the SHIT out of me.

That's correct, it cannot be rotated to get 10 degrees. Even rotating it back a tooth doesn't get me close. Timing is about 5 degrees if I recall correctly. Although, I think a stuck advance makes sense at this point. Done it and saw literally minimal movement. Thats what leads me to believe it's a stuck advance plate. I suppose I'll have to tear it apart. About how far should it rotate? If I'm running no advance over the 15 degrees, would that noticeably effect my fuel economy?

I believe i read somewhere that the 210 used the same level sender as the 620 and 510 with identical resistance. Can anyone confirm that?

First off, engine is an A15 with gasket match ported and rebuilt head, weber DGV, and MSD CDI multi spark box and low restriction exhaust.. Here's my problem: When I setup my MSD box, the timing was WAY off whack and I'm no longer running a vacuum advance. When I check the timing, it was super advanced about 40 degrees and didn't hardly run. I had to rotate the distributor back a tooth to get it to the point that it would even run. FSM shows 10 degrees BTDC and the closest I could even get was 15 degrees. Rotating back another tooth with the timing advanced as far as possible put my timing way below 10 degrees. There is literally no possible way of getting it timed to 10 degrees. After looking under the dizzy cap, I noticed that the advance plate wouldn't hardly move and appeared to be stuck in full advance, which could possibly explain why I couldn't get it timed right. Biggest question though, is what should the timing be at full advance? It's currently getting VERY poor gas mileage and very low on power(my car can't be that slow can it?) But still enough to spin tires ;) I'm driving her daily now back and forth to work, and it's more evident now and I want to get her healthy. Could just 5 degrees of advance cause i noticeable difference in power and fuel economy?

Or get a programmable ignition box with an adjustable timing curve, advance, ETC. Kinda expensive though, but very fun to play with on your laptop

LOL wtf is that? :rofl: Sounds like the local Advance Auto and Jiffy Lube.

Make sure they know you're watching. Biggest theft deterant is fear of getting caught. Take pics as they drive by and stare at them. Works every time ;)

ibtl. I mean... BUMP.

.....hows it fucked up? It's PERFECT. She could almost be called a cafe racer Needs a cafe seat tho. And less trim. Maybe a fairing? Sex. Reminds me of my 73 Honda CB . Frame was painted with caliper paint, engine was rebuilt from the pistons to the transmission, and only had 2000 original miles on her. God I miss her :(

You know, the shitty thing was he died protecting his mother. Her "ex" boyfriend came charging in with a gun after she dumped him. He stepped up and took 4 bullets. Then the guy shot his uncle and killed himself. The bastard took the easy way out. He didn't suffer like his family and friends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tlcgBTCZtU&feature=related

Man, I just realized that today is the 1 year anniversary of my old friend Rajaan's murder last year. Looking back at it kind of pisses me off. he was the kindest person, with a heart the size of Texas. He was my schools star football player, murdered at the end of the season. All over one mans selfish act. He was set to go play for Vanderbuilt this year. He was his mothers pride and joy. He was the only one in her family to EVER make it to college and be successful without needing drugs. He had no father, lost a brother at a young age and grew past it all to be a beautiful person. Shit sucks man. Google Rajaan Bennett and see the results that come up for it. It's heartbreaking. Got bored and made this vid for him a while back to show what kind of a person he really was. /rant. http://blogs.ajc.com/recruiting/2010/02/18/rajaan-bennetts-death-hard-to-come-to-grips-with/ http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-6219885-504083.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQZ5C4-dpvs
