Mattel,

Al25 is out of Idaho, US.

Luke is fantastic, goes by MrWrench on here.

Chris

I understand. Mine is a little easier to get to now, I installed a tee so I could pull a line for an oil pressure gauge as well and just moved the op sensor out.

Hey All, If you’re on FB, I’m certain the seller is Timothy Thomas. He uses ebay to sell AND catalog what he has. He’s stripping and projecting a few cars currently. If you see something you want and feel it’s priced a little high, message Timothy. He’s a nice fella and may be able to do better on p...

Ace,

Pretty easy access and while the socket is ideal, I’ve always been able to get a wrench or pliers on the sending unit and remove it pretty easily.

Chris

David has it right. Air is sucked in passed a reed valve in certain conditions to help pollutants burn in the catalytic converter.

ME, There is a small screen filter on the inlet pipe into the carb (in the carb), unless a PO has been in and removed it. The float should be checked as well, it might not be letting fuel in. There is a “sight glass” on the bowl that can be observed, but with limited space and 40 years of dust,etc.,...

You might try Timothy Thomas on the Tercel FB page, he’s parting Tercels in Idaho. My parts car was A/C, but I have no idea what shape the compressor may be in. I’m sure the lines were disconnected years ago.

Chris

ME,

If the battery was disconnected and now won’t power the dome light, you likely have a poor connection somewhere, possibly on the battery post.

There is a fuel cut-off solenoid that I believe is a safety devise. No power, no fuel movement in the carb?

Chris

Marvin,

That idle is higher than spec, BUT that’s about where I set mine. It bounces around some anyhow and 1,100 rpm idle keeps it from wanting to die at stop lights once in a while.

Chris

That shouldn’t be that hard to find. The main question is where are you? With an 86’, you’ll need to find an 85’-87’ front diff to match your rear. Salvage yards are a real possibility, however, I don’t believe any other diff will swap. My other concern would be your transmission. With a shared sump...

Good to hear.

Chris

dlb has a point, BUT the service life on rotors is much longer than on pads. If the rotors aren’t grooved/worn, they’re likely fine. Possibly need bled?

Chris

A little “smoke” wouldn’t bother me. Mine would sizzle/boil when poured in. I still think it sounds like fuel starvation

Chris

Marvin, Internal combustion engines require 3 things to start/run (assuming timing is adequate): compression, fuel, and spark. Assume compression is ok if running before and start by checking for spark and fuel. If you have spark, you should be able to squirt fuel in the top of the carb and at least...
