On my 84 t4wd i am gettin a intermittent hesitation during acceleration and an occasional hiccup and die or close to die in idol (maybe once every couple days) It feels like a fuel filter issue to me, however the filter is new and clear so i can see it working and still clean. All other tune up part...

okay thanks, i was starting on cleaning the old one and the two small screws that hold the cover plate on are pretty seized up, spray with nutbuster and soaked in cleaner and still tough to get out. i remember in last fuel post you had said something about tapping out rusted screws with drill bit, t...

so i replaced the fuel sending unit on my 84, the one i took out was very gunked up and in bad shape, the one i replaced it with was clean and seemed to be in good shape, i put it in with an almost full tank so it was hard to tell if it was working.

okay so at top dead center with chopstick test when i pulled out dizzy it was lined up with single dot side,?????
so i reset it per double dot side and no start as i was doing in the first place
reset at single dot side and start and run
so pulley is off

okay so maybe im a dumbass but im willing to swallow my pride to learn, and would rather make a mistake and admit to it than have something wrong or make something wrong with car!i did the test with chopstick and it was alot closer than i thought. So i thought i remembered Dan telling me, while givi...
