Ok, even though your electricl theory discussion is facinating, its all over my head. I triple checked the condition today and attempted to rule out variables. With only 1 coil hooked to the ignitor, and that coil having high tension leads hooked to it, one going to a plug grounded in the...

Well, I finally admitted defeat and took it to a shop today. The price of the car just went up from $5500 to $5500+whatever it costs me to get running.

nope still stuck in asshole roommate hell in Houston. It hasnt been since I was in my mid 20's (almost 2 decades ago) that I actually made a fist and calculated the distance I would need to cover before I was able to throw a punch. I did that yesterday. Im seriously trapped right now. I feel...

Fuck that, easy for you to say nt being here. Ive put blood, sweat and tears into this fucking car and still the little gremlins keep haunting me. I think if you were me you would feel exactly the same. There is only so much I can do. My biggest regret is not sticking to my original plans and...

are all your grounds hooked up? the rats nest of grounds hooked up to the intake manifold? the ground wire from the back side of the head to the firewall? the large ground from the battery to the block? Yes, I checked all my grounds and in fact decided to make some new ones and add those in...

OK, rode down to the Borders to get some internet and try to extract enough info to make a final decision regarding this thing. As Tim already stated, I have 12v at the coils (lead farthest from the clip on the coil feed harness) When applying the 3v trigger to the ignitor I get a needle...

Premature supraculation. Im having major issues getting this thing fire the coils. NO SPARK issue is killing me. My situation with my roommate has deteriorated. His GF went on a bender and is no in detox, internet has little hope of getting paid for, and I have exhausted every resource I can...

J1 - That would be AWESOME! I may have one locally but if that falls through tonight, I'll take you up on it. Can you do me a favor and call my cell this evening. Im about to get outta this place. I cant take much more of starbucks for the day. Call me so we can work out details ok?

Hey Bro, Happy Fucking Birthday (early cause I wont have internet again for a few days) Glad to see you are making progress. It wont be long until Im up in that area again. I might even be there soon enough to actually help you.

Ugh...made this long post with a list of everything that I did, how it all went together, the list of new parts and everything...and it didnt post! ARGH! So yeah, its running. Its running on 4 cylinders, but its running. It traced the problem to a bad ignitor. Its not firing the 1/6 coil. If...

well, my roommate informed me yesterday that we would be losing internet in the next day or two (I already paid a $200 water bill that wasnt mine, Im not paying a $300 cable bill). I hope to have the motor in the car tonight so if that happens and I still have internet I'll post some pics. If I...

Im sorry Rich, Ive been lax in getting that water pump sent off. Ive been kinda focused on getting my motor back in. I wont forget. ...and underdog looks like a good start. I really wish I could just afford to come spend a few weeks workin on her. lol, I would work for room and board! ;)

I didnt recognize it, but now I remember it. I remembered the auto windows, but for some reason I placed them on Brian's car (Gargoyle, the brown one). In fact I had just discussed that with Dan here locally and mentioned how I had seen windows do that and wanted that on Lucy. I was NA at the...

well yeah I figured you may want to just do that and let him know about the meet.

lol, no just didnt want to screw up the trans after all this work on the motor. Im actually going to run the trans for a few minutes then do another fluid change. I basically want to do a flush. I got the converter filled and put on the input shaft at this point so its all good guys, thanks...

Well if it were a 7M a "birdcage" picture might just be appropriate. ;)

so basically just put in as much as I can? I think I can manage that. Are we talking 1qt or more like 4? I cant even seem to find the capacity of the whole trans. All I see is the drain and refill amount of 1.7qts. My guess is that the total volume of the trans minus the 1.7 will give me an...

Ok, I searched here, the TSRM, and out there in the big wide world and I cant seem to find this info. While pulling my motor and trans I pulled the torque converter and for various reasons dumped most of the fluid out of it. Im now ready to reinstall the trans behind the motor but dont know how...

http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/pts/311335935.html anyone know who that is? Might want to let him know about the meet!

yeah that one was up there before I left. Is the Teal one still selling for 9k?
