Re: Redline on 3AC?

I'm so jealous of your trip odometer (well, also the built in tach).

Thanks a bunch for the pictures and info!

Re: 1981 Tercel PCV and Breather tube setup

Alright, don't laugh, but could somebody point out the rough location of the mechanical pump? I have a sneaking suspicion it was removed, because I've seen nothing that looks like it. What is the purpose of the fuel return line? I'm looking at the "fuel tank and lines" diagram in the 1985T...

Re: I got hit by a drunk driver tonight

Dang, I'm glad you're okay, and nice story too, I would have loved to have a video of you yelling at her from the top (side) of the car!

Redline on 3AC?

Would anyone with a tachometer be able to tell me what the redline is? I'm buying a tach for mine, and it would be nice to know for reference. I found max power at 4800, so I just need the redline!

I did a few searches but that mostly just brings up redline oil. Thanks!

Re: 1981 Tercel PCV and Breather tube setup

Alright, I'll look into mounting it (or another pump) either in the engine bay or under by the tank.

Re: 1981 Tercel PCV and Breather tube setup

I'm pretty sure fuel lines coming out of the firewall connect to two of the steel lines, the third one is currently unused. I can get a picture of that if it'd make sense to someone. Between the haynes manual, the manual I found on the site here, and just poking around, I'm starting to figure out a ...

Yes, mounted right in the trunk: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/483255_360544060732145_759596784_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/577883_354424784677406_794019411_n.jpg Someone suggested I remount the fuel pump outside, but I do not think the pump is weatherproof? When I ...

Re: 1981 Tercel PCV and Breather tube setup

That sounds like a pain. How is the heater control connected then or do you have to pop the hood to make adjustments? I have to pop the hood, however the control wasn't operated in so long it has rusted shut! I may just replace it with a manually operated valve. welcome to the list! Actually with a...

Re: 1981 Tercel PCV and Breather tube setup

Alright, thanks a bunch, I couldn't find a single description of where the fire wall side tube was supposed to go! There's a lot of fun stuff going on with this car, the previous owner ripped out most of the emission stuff because it was dry rotted, and took off all the mechanical stuff for the auto...

I've been trying to fix various issues with the car, I was searching over at Toyota nation and somebody with a similar car was referred here, so here I go! I'm only somewhat knowledg...
