Video ^^^^ Let's hear it...

Thanks Philip. I have a lead on a parts car. If we don't pick that up I will definitely be in touch.

I agree with both ^^^^^ Tire issues would be my first check on the vibration at speed. Run the old gas out and get good fresh high octane gas in and see if the running improves Exhaust fumes are almost always bad gaskets or rust holes in the rear of the car. Taillight gaskets / hatch / and vent hose gaskets... Horsepower comes later when everything else is right!

Then why did you buy a vintage air??? You could have just source the dealer ac system off of Ebay...

That's a very interesting solution. Thanks, Jim We will now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

Jim, before we return to our regularly scheduled programming, can you post a picture of your gauges? I don't totally understand...

Love it!! I would do that all day long. Bookmarked...

Wasn't California recently considering moving the date up to something like 1979 for smog? Sorry for the "thread jack"...

Have you checked the timing? The popping or dieseling when cutting it off could be timing related...

Antifreeze has antirust properties. That is why it is important to not run straight water.

Congratulations. There was a lot of rust under the car.

I have ordered several things out of Australia. It is normally not a problem if you are prepared for the freight charges. You gotta pay to play...

Mitchell If there is a next time you can use mine. I might even deliver it,,,

That picture was perfect Cliff

I like the muffler too. What is it?

What are you valve clearances? Could you have lost some adjustment and not be getting good valve sealing? I would think it would be noisy with less lash...I would redegree the cam and see if it meets spec. Also Zed may be onto something with the ignition route. If it won't start with ether I almost always rule out fuel. also your AFR was reading fine, so unless it is bad too?? That would also rule out fuel. Can you verify your afr is reading correctly somehow? Swap to another race car or one of your cars?

I don't know. Just send them an email and ask...

That actually looks ok...

The standard rear crossmember hits the finned cover. You have to get something like an Arizona Z car rear crossmember to clear the finned cover

Is it an open diff or a Limited slip? That would be my first suspicion for why it was changed. Jack up the rear of the car and turn one wheel forward. Does the other wheel turn forward (LSD) or rearward (open diff)?

The 81d C is right about where it should be. Look for a short somewhere in the harness or behind the temp gauge...

If you can't source the hood are you gonna be good if I make you one??? I will check on a hatch...

Bruce, I understand, totally...

^^^Yes, Contact Dave...

Take the interior panel off the hatch. The push button just has a metal tab that sticks out to one side inside the hatch. When it is unlocked it hangs out over a release lever, when you push it down it pops the hatch. When it's locked the lock is rotated 90d so it is no longer over the release lever. Reach up in the hatch from the inside and find the release lever. Trip it by hand. A small mirror and a light might be good too... I hope that makes sense...
