    Lucy - Im home!

    no, no codes. And yes I replaced the igniter. About the only thing I have not done electrically is the solenoid resister, but I think I got one coming. Im kinda just too disgusted right now to even bother with it at the moment. Im working on some fun stuff and when I need a reliable car Im...

    12v mod on stock pump

    yeah took, I did that. It seems I do have pressure, but short of a fuel pressure gauge I dont knonw what kind of pressure. And I jumpered the B+ and Fp connectors the last time she wouldnt start and it didnt seem to make any difference. To be honest what Im trying to do is see if this makes the...

    Targa roof

    OIC, yes I suppose that would possible, the thing to know is what the support structure looks like underneath the interior panel. If there is enough bracing there to support the whole thing then it would be do-able

    Targa roof

    Im not sure I understand. Are you going to put like a sunroof in it or something? Ive never actually taken the inner cover off to see what the structure looks like underneath. My guess is depending on how and where you cut you can keep its strength, but if you cut it the wrong way, you could end...

    12v mod on stock pump

    LOL JAV, I said I already know "how" to do it, just wanted opinions on pump life. I dont actually plan to run this mod permanently, Im trying to eliminate the stock relay/resistor/wiring from the mix to see if I have a wiring short or other issue in the stock setup. This heat soak issue I have...

    12v mod on stock pump

    Before I get lambasted for not searching again, let me say that the search engine throws out the terms "12v" and "mod". I was able to find threads about doing the mod however, but thats not my question. My question is, is doing this mod safe for a stock pump of unknown age? Some of you know...

    Question: Helium in space

    Supra Sighting - Corvallis

    I calculate travel time in real world time. Not the time it takes to get from one city limit to another city limit. I add 15-30 minutes just for Portland traffic, not to mention the current construction on I5 around Salem.

    car wont start

    Run a jumper from the B+ to the Fp terminal inside your diag box. You should be able to hear the fuel pump running (if its quet enough where you are). Then squezze the soft line portion of the return hose (hard line comes off the FPR, and drops down to where it meets with some soft line) if you...

    Lucy - Im home!

    I have not specifically tested the VSV, but I have approximated what it does. My understanding of it is that it basically just opens up the vac line on the FPR to atmospheric pressure. You can do the same thing by simply removing the vac line from the FPR and trying to crank it that way. That...

    First-try at paintjob complete! (56k warning)

    I remember when you were struggling with having to repaint a few panels for various reasons. It looks to me that all your hard work and patience paid off in the end. It looks good man! I dont know how many times Ive been tempted to paint my own cars. But I tried it once way back in the 80's and...
