gwb Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 The floors are good in the car. If you have not already, you may want to contact Glenn to get the original radio for the car. Quote Link to comment

squatches Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 today i put on new fuel pump and fuel lines in the engine bay, afterwards i crank the car only to find the bottom end is starting to knock. so now its time to drop the spare l20 in and retire the l16 until i have the time and funds to go thru it and rebuild it.

gwb Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Willing to sell the radiator for the l16? Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 ok im about to swap the l20 into the wagon but i have a few questions first and i didnt want to start another topic for it so i posted here. the engine is coming out of a 620. when swaping to the l20 i have to swap the oilpan, pickup tube, motor mounts, but what do i do about the l20 carb? i noticed it had more wires going to it than the one on the l16. will the l16 carb work for the l20 and give it sufficient fuel supply? last of all will i need to do anything to make the trans for the l20 work in the 510? any info will be greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment

squatches Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 it turns out there wasnt a bottom end knock :rolleyes: turns out the bolts on the engine mount had worked loose and everybody swore it was a knock. since there was no knock i started getting things to make the car run and drive better. so far i have gotten the following new things for the car new tires, brakes, brake drums, soft lines, carb rebuild kit, alternator, fuel pump, plug wires, plugs, rotor cap, coil, valve cover gasket, intake/exhaust gasket, battery, battery cables theres more but thats alot to list. and now pics. engine before: engine now: and some drywall work that i found in the corners of the floorboard.

Nice man, the dude told me the same thing about my car but it purrs like a kitten now since i adjusted the valves. Might want to check the how to section and give that a go, pretty fun project that doesn't take too long. Quote Link to comment

squatches Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 took a few more pics the other day and finally got the hood back on, and now to start preping floors for rust repair. then try to get heat working because i hate being cold. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I dont know about those rear wheels? Im thinkn stock hubcaps lowered would be Gangsta But the heat? Look under the driver side of the heater box and find the valve. Sometimes they dont open all the way with the wire controls. Try using your hand to fully open the valve. you might get soem heat out of it then. Or might leak. I always leave the valve open but route the heat flap closed to prevent wear on the valve.
