Only posting this here because it has the 1AC engine which I have not seen, which according to some quick research has a bit more power than the 3AC, maybe because of less emissions equipment?

I was on gravel, the car shifted into 4WD fine, it was trying to get into EL that seemed a bit rough, even after I had stopped!

This may be a silly question, but I was test driving a 4WD Wagon the other day, and it shifted to 4WD just file while I was moving and in second gear. I slowed down to about 5 MPH and tried to shift into EL, and it took some major finagling to get to shift. I couldn't move the shifter all the way to...

Ha, my bad on the AC, been looking at too many pictures of T4 engine bays and mixed yours up. Am talking to the wife about this, it's far but might be worth it!

My repair manual lists 3-5 foot pounds or .4 to .8 m-Kg for the valve cover bolts.

Why are you selling it? Does the AC work?

Also is the transmission still working fine? You referenced issues that were fixed by changing the fluid.

From big o tires I have 175/70 R13

They said the stock sizes weren't made anymore.

Good to know about the incompatibility between gens for the rims.

Ah, in the US, if it had the old points style ignition, it didn't have a cat and was classified as a "3A engine" instead of "3AC" for the 1st Gen Tercels.

If I had to choose, I'd trade in the sedan for a 1st gen hatchback, more room for cargo!

My 81 has the electronic ignition, if that helps broaden your search.

I think you have the 3A engine, unless it has a cat?

The car looks amazing!

My car is an 81 but was made in 80, this is normal!

Nobody has chased me off yet

I look forward to hopefully trading useful repair tales and such.

Yeah, I get a lot of stares too, and a lot of cops tailgating me

Vehicle registration, some states let you transfer plates from owner to owner I think?

Going to call him anyway, $200 to fly out, $200 in gas back, $100 in incidentals, not a bad price...

Damn! Too Far!

Looks like an 87-88?
