Cool, I'll check it out

I'll remember, maybe I'll go :) My schedule (or lack thereof) makes it difficult to plan stuff really far in advance, I never know when I'll be working and I could end up anywhere in the country. I'm a boilermaker/ tube welder so when there's work I have to jump on it. While it stinks not having a s...

Pictures? I have a full stack one of you needs very much too lol I might be interested in the SG of the price is right, I had a '74 in high school.

That would be awesome, that's exactly what I need! It'll probably be June or July sometime

Cool! I'll have to see when I can host and I'll post up a meet for then

Moral support is good too, I'll need lots of that lol Is the garage meet a joke or would that really work? Even if we didn't work on my car it would be cool to network and have a reason for a big bbq Plus it would be cool to see my end of the street full of neons

Not if your willing to help me with a 2.4 swap lol Cool, I'll try to make it!

Just wondering...

I like this thread, lol I read almost all of it :) I live in Cincinnati though I've only lived here long enough to start spelling it correctly. I'm from a small town in Upstate New York called Mexico. I have a retired greyhound who is seriously the easiest dog you could own. I love to ride my 5th ge...

I copy and pasted this from my original thread because I feel like it could be relevant here as well. "Pretty sure it's a stuck or bent valve, zero compression on the #1 cylinder :/ Debating selling it and if there's a cool car in the classifieds after I get this outage out of the way picking it up....

Thanks for the info guys, I started another thread with more info here- http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=67300 Pretty sure it's a stuck or bent valve, zero compression on the #1 cylinder :/ Debating selling it and if there's a cool car in the classifieds after I get this outage out of the way pi...

Ok, sorry- I put the link to the first thread I started b/c I didn't know if it would be ok to put all the info in two places. It started with a flashing CEL and a P0301 code. Misfire, #1 cylinder. I replaced the spark plugs and it went away for a couple days then came back. I was scared to do a com...

For anyone interested-http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=67217 I have been up all night worrying and researching. I'm going to do a wet compression test to see if it's the valves or the rings. If it ends up being the valves is there any reason I can't use this head (http://www.oreillyauto.com/site...

evil temptor! lol

Well.... The dreaded compression check is over..... No compression on the #1 cylinder :/ I've priced out the parts to completely rebuild the head as well as timing belt, gaskets, water pump, tensioner, cam ect. and it was $1500 plus I'd still have to pay the machine shop. Then the bottom end would n...

Ok, that's a lot of info lol Maybe this will help- today, I changed the valve cover gasket and repaired the spark plug tubes. Problem is, the one that is having the misfire issue is the only one (tube) that wasn't leaking. When I pulled the plug it was black with carbon. Is this a sign of a stuck or...

MP sells accel injectors, I'm just trying to figure out which are the stock flow rate searching isn't getting me very far :/ Wish there was a chart or they said "if your looking to replace stock with stock flow rates you need these" lol

ok, thanks for the heads up! What accels are equivalent to stock?
I don't mind the $ because you can get a whole set cheaper than you can get one for my truck lol

Anyone out there..... lol

Ok... so the dang flashing light is back :/ So when it warms up this weekend I'll be changing the valve cover gasket, as well as the granatelli wires and coil I ordered from MP. Thinking I might as well get the dreaded compression check out of the way too. My question is if the compression turns out...

Thanks!

Here she is!

As soon as I make it out to the garage to snap some pics I'll try to figure out how to post them

I know everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting to hear how it went... lol 140 miles today no cel! Woot! I'm kinda disappointed though b/c I thought I'd have an excuse for the missus on why I needed to do headwork lol Thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks for the info, I unhooked the battery turned the headlights on let it sit for an hour or so. Next I pulled the plugs. Not so good Al- definitely the factory plugs (car has 108,000) found out the tubes on #2 and #3 are leaking. NBD cheap and relatively easy. Put new plugs in took it down and fi...

Thanks, I forgot to mention it started this after adding seafoam to the tank (it sat for a year with a 1/4 tank in it). Probably just coincidence but I'll start with the plugs then check resistance in the wires and replace as needed. Also, aren't the coil pack harnesses prone to failure from rubbing...

On my way to work the other day the cel started flashing. I didn't know any better so I just kept going. Finished work drove home flashing the whole way. My commute is abt 70 miles each way. When I got home I searched and found the flashing cel to be super bad. Checked codes and P0301 popped up. Thi...

Thanks for the info and warm welcome!

That's the plan It needs motor mounts pretty bad, leaning towards solid mounts because I'm not too worried about vibration. If I get sick of it I always have the Superduty or the bike
