Jayden71 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 So.....? What do I need to do to get her road worthy?? She needs a water pump Fix fuel pump oil leak Toss in an alterbator Put rear window in Clean up inside, lotsa vacuum and dusting Oh ya gotta throw a diferent stock carb on for now. For some reason PO took top half of it apart and stripped out one of the screw holes! :( Chet gonna throw one my way tho. That will be enough to take it down to DMV for title transfer and registration. Then it will need new struts and rotors up front. Crawlin around underneath I saw no evidence of brake fluid leakage. All the wiring is there and plugged in too. Steering is very tight. Move the wheel an 8th inch and the control arms move!! VERY NICE!! And yes I know FRAM = FAIL!!! Itsa comin off!! Tranny fluid is pretty dark gonna have it flushed and refilled Need an EI Dizzy too!!!!!! (hint hint).....anyone?? ;) 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Autos are great for motors. It's hard to drive the shit out of them. No 6K clutch dumps and smoky burnouts/drifting history on them. Quote Link to comment

Farmer Joe Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 right on man! cant wait to see this thing in person! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Vacuum advance line is disconnected and a manifold vacuum line has been run from the brake booster pipe. This means the charcoal canister is disconnected as well. Also the ballast resistor was replaced? and mounted on the fender instead under that metal cover above the coil. EGR appears to be missing, BCDD without a hose, in fact I don't think that's even the right carb on there. Appears to be only one wire going to the back of the carb... either for electric choke or idle cut. Intake is not looking like a '77. That hose going down by the mount .... that the block vent? If so where's the PCV connected to? Lower rad shroud missing. Have you checked if this isn't an L20B motor? Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Umm Mike, Data plate sez manufacture date 03/77. The one on firewall and drivers door. Are those fabbed to make it look like a 77 :blink: Why would someone do that?? CLEAN title sez 77 as well W58 head on L20 engine. I agree carb may not be correct one. How can you tell vacuum advance is not connected from that pic? I followed it off the back of the dizzy and it ran to the engine side of the carb. It is connected. Thats the only line comin off the dizzy :blink: Why would that not be the correct intake?? Ballast resistor got replaced.....ummm ok it got put back in the wrong spot. Is that a big deal?? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hard to see. Maybe that's the EGR vacuum signal line I see unplugged. What's that small hose coming from the larger hose going to the brake booster? Looks like the intake may have been swapped. W58 heads were not generally used on any L20B until '78. (correction they were used for '77). Ballast resistor can be mounted anywhere... just noticed it's been moved. Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 That metal line there at the back comes up from the intake, goes into vacuum hose over to booster. Whats it do? My 78 620 had it too :blink: Ballast resistor will be mounted in the recycle bin when I get EI dizzy :D Quote Link to comment
