so yesterday the starter was being wierd for awhile. like i would turn the key and nothing would happen, i'd turn it back of, turn the key, clicking, i would do this like 4-5 times and it finally start. so i switched out my starter for the gear reduction o'matic ZX starter

dude, you need a better starter in general.

Haha it's actually a pretty good starter... It's just not lined up properly. Going to pull it next week and see what's up with it. Hoping it's too far back so I can just space it with washers. Then I can start my car properly.

there's a wagon like mine with a motor still in it in tacoma, it might have one. the car is listed as a 79 but its a square headlight 80-81 one

This was also done.

 

Lower pcv pipe hit rear carb so i cut end off ,, went through box of old pre-bent hoses,, a toyota emissions part , and a hollowed out old PCV valve . It goes around carb and up to valve like it's supposed too.

 

Used this set-up to catch shavings from cutting pipe

Pre-formed VW jetta heater hose looks like i was made for this.

Next was power brakes ,, the intake wasn't drilled out so i took this fitting i had laying around so it would easily center perfectly,, after drilling i drilled fitting bigger in the drill press and in turn inlarged the hole in manifold also.

nothing really has been done since the last post. I took the SUs off September 2k13, eventhough they gave the car more power, the hitachi works soooo much better.

 

and i got "new" front tires. and by "new" meaning they from the 80s..

 

and i polished my superlites yesterday
