Ok, so flatcat has been bugging me to update my project, and he's right. Where to begin?
Well, I finally found a Weber adapter from an awesome ratsun member, and when I pulled the stock Hitachi off, I figured out why I had an idle issue. Someone had taken what looks like a steel drift to the bottom of the primary butterfly. I can only assume that it was seized up and the were trying ti get it to open?! Either way, they bent the hell out of it, so even with the throttle "closed", it wouldn't make it down to idle. Anyway, the Weber is on there now and drinks like a fish. 16 MPG and I can smell gas on the freeway. This is with the idle mixture screw almost all the way in. Maybe it's way over jetted? Maybe I need a fuel pressure regulator?
The headliner still hasn't gone in, and I've been busy working on getting my parts truck down to the frame so I can get the disc brakes and the ball joints. All new suspension and steering components on the way, most of then here. I also pulled the head on my parts truck L18 and found that my A87 head is a peanut! New rings, bearings, valve seals and gaskets on the way, too.
New bed sitting out back that someone made into a trailer. Only a couple small dings and no rust to speak of.
Since I'm falling asleep writing this, I'm going to leave it at that. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.
