would not want to start from a stop on it while going uphill

This is making me worry about debris blocking the needle valve from closing. that filter will come off the old inlet it will twist off by hand most of the time ca...

that mess sure looks like antifreeze

I'm responsible for 10 of them

you can separate the throwout yourself find something round like a large socket that is just a little bit smaller than the inside diameter of the bearing and use it to knock the thing out. i do it on a vise the pilot can be removed with a small slide puller made for the job or you can force it out b...

holy doodle, it looks like it's in really good shape. was there any rust? what do the gauges above the glove box measure and did you install them? what all did you do/replace on it? swapped engine (the old one supposedly knocked but i took it apart and can find nothing wrong) new alternator, starte...

its cracked up quite a bit

236.00 are you kidding!!!!!!!
watch out at the dealers they have a jacked up price and if you complain they will lower it by a third but it will still be way too much

i too would have mailed you one for cost of shipping
probably around 6.00
