I hate to do this but
I have sent many parts to people on the forum and never been stung but it was bound to happen at some point. Without naming names at this point i will give him one more week to respond to my PM and pay for the 50.00 working carb I sent him!!!!!!!!
After the week is up i will let the rest of the forum know not to send him anything without payment first.
DUDE PAY FOR THE PART OR MAIL IT BACK at least respond to my PM we are a honest bunch here trying to help one another out.

Re: I hate to do this but
Sadly, I just recently registered my car finally.... as a classic :/
I put a weber on it a while back and bought a jet kit to go with it. I realized that after trial and error smogg tests get expensive. I know it can pass, I'm just not that good with carburetors.
I'm actually now a mail man and love it, I even am stationed for your district.
I drive up your boulevard almost every day now, maybe one day ill see ya.
Just today I saw two tercels, a new record!
Hows you??? hows the fx-16?

Sorry man I haven't, I've been messing around on the engine to get it to idle right and so far it hasn't. When I first start it up anytime, it will idle about 2,000 rpm then I barely touch the gas to drop it down and then it dies

Re: I hate to do this but
I google earthed the address just for fun, looks like a big farm house with barn and several out buildings out in the middle of farm land. the "group home" might just be another way they make an income, like of like a day care center but for live in older people that need assistance. Usually the people running those make pretty good income.
I could see a lot of vehicles on the property, but none specifically look like a Tercel, could be in the shop building.
The excuses sound pretty lame, could be just bad luck for him, but it does not sound like it after 4 months. I had almost this happen to me on another forum, the guy was in a big hurry for a body part, had some complicated story about why, but when it came time for him to send money started making excuses, but insisted I get it shipped right away. Looked too fishy and told him to express mail a check and he will have the parts two days after that. I never got a check. So I always insist I get payment first before I ship, no one has complained.
