Hello im a noob... my name is Joe i just got a 88 Accord on Fri for $250, so far i spent about 80 on tune up parts . I did remove most of the vac. lines. now my only leak is the intake manifold gasket .. how hard is that ? .. the valves and timing are good .. but the fuel cut off valve dosent work so it runs a little after i turn off the key.. so it idles weird , thats because of the leaky gasket? ... oh this is my first water cooled motor .. Im a VW AirHead ..
Welcome to the site. It definitely does rock. Enjoy your stay.
oh will those used weber's i have work in this car .. the progressive and the 38/38 what about the set of IDA's i have laying around .. because this honda carb "blows goats" .. Ive already put an old msd blaster coil in.. and took off that useless cat. I live in ILL haha socal owners ..
welcome new three g member. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPO3qn32v2g
The carby A20A1 engines run off the wall with any vacuum line removed. Probably do good with that 38/38 weber set-up with the 4th stage vacuum removal. You'll have fun getting to the intake bolts on the bottom. :welcome:
lol the carb engines are possessed even with all the spaghetti plumbed right. wait until you are sitting at a light and the engine starts revving itself up one day. you'll think it's got a gremlin(which it probably does,they live in that black box)Quote:

hahah. They do. They're just really rare. I bet that there are people on this board who would kill another person to get a set.
welcome to 3geez... if your angry about no cup holders then you should look into some SE-i ones from the fuel injected model, i know theres a few people selling some , good luck with your projectQuote:

ok so i been reading about milling the head .. how much is milled off to make a 10:1 C/R ? sorry im a VW man .. im just asking because im thinking about a rebuild this winter ..
you wont get anywhere near 10:1 on just milling the head...even if you milled the block and head you might be able to bump up compression to like 9.5
