Re: Automatic fuel pump?

i think electric pumps are designed to push rather than suck--- should be mounted as close to the tank as possible.

Re: WTB Axle Hub '85 2WD 4 door

2wd and 4wd hub ass'ys are the same (i've swapped them before.) first gen tercels are completely different (rotors mount to the BACK side of the hub- i've always hated that.) good luck!

4af is completly different from the 3ac fitted in our cars (i assume your engine is installed longitudnally rather than transverse.) if so, a 4ac from a corolla or chev. nova is pretty much a bolt- in affair. just have to swap intakes and accessory brackets (should be plenty of threads here with par...

Re: Rebirth after 300K

Synth- still want the crunched fender (or at least part of it- costs too much to ship the whole thing cross- country.) i just need the wheel opening part, took a pic of what i'm talking about- now just have to figure out how to post it. do you have access to an angle grinder?? thanx, Rich.

if you're thinking of replacing the speedo, i'd consider swapping out the whole cluster with an sr5 unit. strictlly a plug and play operation, and you'll gain a tach and digital clock in the deal! just my .02.
