DREWSDIME Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Nice score, I saw this on CL and was tempted. good price too. Door panels look good and dash just needs the EGAY plastic cap and it will look good. Quote Link to comment
the carshop Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 funny you should say that i just ordered one a couple hours ago Quote Link to comment
inline4 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 are those allison electronic ignitions worth anything? I have a brand new in box one. Quote Link to comment
the carshop Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 not sure? ill prob replace it when i put in new motor Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 They are indeed desirable. They work well. We've used a few of them. If you don't want it, theres a lot of guys who could use it. Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Please don't cut up the door panels! Never gonna find another set that clean and uncut. Hopefully it came with the rear bumper? Quote Link to comment
the carshop Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 hell no... nothing is getting cut or modded on this car im most likely going to put back the motor that belongs in it. only aftermarket parts will prob be coilovers and wheels. sadly no bumpers but im already looking.

yenpit Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 are those allison electronic ignitions worth anything? I have a brand new in box one. Don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but inline4's PM box is full......gotta clean it out! Those Allison EI kits are decent. I sold lots of them back in the 80's-90's for British cars. I think Crane Ignition bought Allison, so you might be able to track the kit part # to current cataloging to help you sell it.......... Quote Link to comment

[/u] I wouldn't hesitate putting in an L20B & a 5 speed if you prefer a l'il more driving fun. I would think that upgrade actually increases the value of any 510, unless the car is restored to showroom condition, and sold to a serious purist..........most 510 buyers aren't purists.
