Re: WANTED: Set of 4 alloy wheels for an '84...

I've got a set I wouldn't mind parting with. I'm missing the center cap on at least one, maybe two of the wheels. PM me and we'll talk price and shipping.

Re: Hard to shift into first gear

Awesome. Thanks. I might have just found a good trans at the neighborhood junkyard for $80, so if that doesn't work...

Re: Hard to shift into first gear

I'm having the same issue with my transmission. Pulled the drain plug and maybe got a quart of some very nasty gear oil. Black with grey swirls. Filled it up with some fresh 75-90. I figure I'll have to do this 3/4 times to clean everything up... And if I'm lucky, it will stay in first. What's the ...

Re: Meet FrankenTurd

Turd, I forgot to tell you. I have a hood and fender for you. I don't know what your plans for the 88 are, but let me know if you're still in need.

Without using a fuel pressure regulator?

Thanks.

Re: Effects of fuel pressure on webers

It's been running rich since I purchased it (10k ago), so I'm not surprised if it's burned up.

Thanks for the timing tip.

Re: Effects of fuel pressure on webers

Excellent points. I've read all I could find on jetting. We've tried 3 different combinations of jets and haven't given up yet.

Timing is at 8 dtdc, I think we're going to 13 next. We had the Idle passing with 135 pri idle. In UT they dyno the car... it dumps gas with 145 pri main jets. We then ...

Effects of fuel pressure on webers

For all I've looked, I can't seem to find a reason to run the fuel pressure regulator on my recently installed weber. I know the factory pressure and the weber pressure are different, but what effect does this have on the system as a whole.

For what it's worth, I'm having a hell of a time trying ...

Weber Fuel Jetting at 4500 ft

Hey guys,

Long time listener, first time caller. Love the program...

I scored a Weber for cheap from my brother's '79 Corona. He helped me install it this weekend, among other things (pics to come), but it's jetted too rich and won't pass emissions. I've used the search feature to try and locate ...

Looks great! I think we're going to need to get an SLC meet going soon. Glad to see Turd and I aren't the only ones!
