Tons more to come but so far....http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/28/evevynyj.jpg
Painted the window trim. It was way cracked. I peeled all of the black off and had it shiny shiny for a while but didn't like the look. Working on other windows now.

Throw this picture in for fun...lol
With team effort just replaced battery, alt(what a bitch) and break light switch. I'll be under the hood tomorrow, so more pics. I've got some sweet stuff coming in the mail, also! Stoked! I'm new here so tips, tricks, constructive criticism and suggestions would be awesome. :D

I like how you set up the amp fuses. Is that an antenna on the trunk?

BremoSupremo
06-28-2014, 07:03 PM
Thanks! Super easy access. Yeah, so I guess it was actually an antenna base for a cb that already has the wire running to under the dash. Lol not so sure about having a cb but maybe a scanner? I donno yet...can't decide if it looks too funky back there! :D

Hey CBs were all the rage back in the '70s. The fad had kinda blown over by the '80s though. I don't know if the truckers still use them, but I'll bet they do. If you get one, they will probably give you the 20 on some smokies. Over.

LOL

BTW, those air "fresheners" are filled with toxic chemicals that discharge into the air and wreck your health. Do yourself a favor and pitch them out.

Car's looking good. Can't wait to see what's in the mail for it.

BremoSupremo
06-30-2014, 04:38 PM
Lol well...I suppose the CB is a definite maybe. It would fit perfect below the radio in front of the shifter i think. Ok freshners are outie 5000 lol and thanks! Its an awesome car so far. Goodies should be here wednesday! :D

I am overheating when I idle for more than a couple minutes. Ahhhh!!!

02-20-2015, 04:52 AM
If it isn't overheating as you ride down the highway with air flowing thru the front of the car then I would guess the engine fan(s) are not coming on. Check the wires going to the sensor switch on the lower passenger side of the actual radiator, if there is power on one of them then it is the connection or switch, if there isn't then check fuses and relay for the engine fan.

Well my fan is wired to run all the time. I let it idle with the heater up all the way and it didn't over heat at all. With no heater it overheats every time. But then once I turn heater on and drive, it cools down.

If I had to guess I'd say the radiator is clogged because the fan ran all the time but any restriction in flow ( thermostat stuck or bad water pump) would cause intermitant overheating like this...or poor air flow thru the radiator.

Btw I think your carb is on backwards, if thats a Weber with the square tophat, shape of the bottom piece of the air cleaner, it definatley is. If its the oval shape then its ok but seeing the mixture screw in front is wrong on either unless its a 38 but even those have the linkage on the drivers side.

Okay I got a radiator at work today! What a bargain. Hopefully that works! I'll put it in today.........um backwards carb really?! Damn I guess the guy I bought my car from wasn't about that carb life. I'm trying to learn! How do I tell for sure?

02-26-2015, 05:46 PM
On my 86 cord and all others I've seen. The electric choke sits in the rear, meaning your carb is turned 180 Deg. Compared to ours. If it runs and works well the way it is I say (If it's not broken don't fix it) If the cross plate is still in the intake maybe it could make a difference but if it was removed the gas dumps into the same place. Maybe where all wrong but just don't know it.

So my car runs great now! Everything is peachy except a small crack in my header that will be welded next week. Now I want to go lower. I can't find any springs to fit my car that are any lower than the ones I have now. I was thinking about cutting the extra set if stock springs I have but I don't want to lose my smooth ride. The struggle is real I want to be lowwwww.

Slowly but surely! Running great besides loosing so much power! I'm guessing its the exhaust. The crack in my header is huge now and its killing me, sounds like crap too. I know I've got another leak and rattle somewhere down there but every time I look I can't find it. The guy I was going to have look at it is so busy it'd be forever before it got done so I'd rather do it myself. Any ideas? Thanks to Niles for the awesome deal on a coil kit I'll be sitting pretty this weekend too! Stoked!

New header on its way from Performance Warehouse! Mine is too cracked to just weld. I want it to be somewhat appealing looking under the hood. Waiting for the weather to get better before I install the new coils. Too much snow!
