Oh, so it is literally a "gas filter", I was confused and thinking fuel filter, and then thinking "What?". Having a hard time finding a gas filter but I'll ask Petros if he has a spare, since I'm getting the carb from him. I'm going to be hooking the TVSV back up too. So since my...

It is a good thing your wife was watching for the oil light!

My ex drove around my 1995 Neon I had at the time for a few days with the charge light going before the battery gave up the ghost "What, I'm supposed to pay attention to those lights?"

I'll take that dome light cover! Or actually, how much for the entire dome light assembly, assuming it's a rectangle and has a on/off/door switch.

How about the manifold vacuum port?

Interesting, so I want to get rid of the ported vacuum, as per the post there, and just go with manifold vacuum? So cap off the other two?

Unfortunately no wreckers around here have any Toyotas from the 80's Do you know the technical name or number of the part so I can search it?

Whatever port it is connected to on the carb it is definitely getting vacuum all the time. The spring on the choke was actually my doing, the choke would not close all the way by itself :D I am in the process of obtaining a stock carb with all the choke stuff intact (but it'll need rebuilding). Is m...

I'm back! Real Life (tm) has been nuts, so I've finally had a chance to poke at the Tercel some more. Car idles around 1200-1400 RPM with the hose from the carb hooked up to the dizzy vacuum advance as follows: https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/934697_379515825501635_558071862_n...

Unfortunately they can indeed "not pay you to fix your car" and total it instead. Has happened to me!

The filter housing itself is in good shape, and I think it seals just fine.

I'll take some up to date pictures when I can open the hood without fear of the hood flying away (huge wind storm right now)

To be honest I think the only vacuum operated thing that is still working is the brakes! Everything was either disconnected or removed, there's quite a few empty ports (like the thermo valve on one of the radiator inlets on the engine) and electrical connections. I would love to put the HAC back but...

Oh, the entire system was removed, there's just a bunch of holes on my air cleaner assembly where the hot/cold flapper valve used to be!

Surprise, I think my vacuum advance isn't hooked up which may or may not explain some of my bad idling and stalling when coming to a stop when cold. Unless I'm chasing the wrong demon here! There's three ports on the vacuum thing on the distributor, there's a bottom port with a tube going to my carb...

So I'm confused now. While searching the manual I got on this site for how the vacuum advance is supposed to be hooked up to the distributor (I'll start another topic for that), I found information on the HAI (hot air intake system). The HAI on my Tercel is long gone however. In the manual It shows ...

Oh whoops, not to worry, omitted my steps after, I did back flush after the vinegar soak, it was just a little more redneck. After I soaked and shook the radiator with vinegar in it, I duck taped a hose to the bottom inlet, cranked the water on to max and let it run for a while! Then I rinsed it goo...

Hey, a chance at assorted inside pieces! Hit me up by PM if you have any of this and we can talk pricing and shipping! I wonder if your seatbelts would fit my car. My driver's side seat belt is almost frayed in two! How about the sun visors, those still in one piece? I need a dome light too. How's t...

It wasn't the super flush but the next one under that. If I had to do it again I would have skipped it! Here's what it looked like: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/893438_367511543368730_544244688_o.jpg Left is the old coolant. Middle is what flushed out with the cleaner, right is after ...
