Re: Ignition advance specs?

yo. don't worry, i realize that finding the vac advance to be causing the ping and disconnecting it is not the final solution. it's just a means of narrowing down where the problem is. like i think i've mentioned, i wish there was a FSM spec for total advance at a certain RPM so that i could easily ...

Re: Ignition advance specs?

petros, i hear you. i want my engine working properly for sure and am slowly getting closer to figuring it out. the water injection just sounds like a neat idea that i'm unfamiliar with. one day if i'm feeling adventurous i might consider it but right now the priority is definitely to find out the r...

Re: Pics of Red

a big SW fan i met a while ago summed it up really well. he said you could just watch the last 30 minutes of 3 and get all you wanted/needed. it was good enough to watch though, i'd say go for it. i'm going to limp through 2 sometime soon just because i'm obsessive.

Re: anyone ever mount speakers in the front doors?

no, but the rear speakers can be removed, a plastic square screwed over top of the speaker mounting, and then 6.5" can be mounted on there. that's what the PO did to my terc. did you take measurements on the front speaker mounts vs. 5.25" speakers yesterday? i remember there being some ext...

Re: Pics of Red

I do some archaeology survey work arb, did you previously mention that you did archaeology stuff? i ask because i had already associated you with it and wonder if either a) i had read it previously but forgot, b) i had some psychic BS going on, or c) i thought of it because your username reminds me...

Re: Ignition advance specs?

What I would try is to connect the inner vac canister to the gas filter like it was stock. Then I would see if you have a ported vac point on the Weber, the odds are very high that there is one. Connect the ported vac source right to the outer vac canister. No need to use the TVSV in this case as t...

Re: Victoria All Import car show

are you living on the same road as the fire hall? i saw your car just up the hill from it, closer to frayne. i'm not working as much right now but if you see my car at the station, swing by, or give me a shout anytime. i'm pretty much nailed down to this damn van right now so i'm usually home if i'm...

Re: Weird Charging/Alternator Problem

shouldn't a running car normally die if you remove either of the battery terminals? you're breaking the circuit then. i must be out to lunch. time for david to learn something. alternator was my first guess since the car died while driving as opposed to drove fine but wouldn't start, which is usuall...
