    he got it about a month ago, it's slowly been losing features, and now it's dead..... would have been worse but the casing is aluminum so he had a hard time.

    if you had to tweak the carb to get it to run home i would suspect the vac lines being wrong.


    sounds like a typical basket case

    owner had a good car
    then started "fixing it"
    now it doesnt work



    any time a PO tells me they did something, i take it apart and check.


    btw what did you do to the carb to get it home?

    i tweaked the air fuel mixture. it also helped when i got it warm. but it's still idling too high, so i need to do a little investigating with Dr. Weber:evil:.

    I might end up staying in it until i get a new bracket... i admit that bracket is a total bitch.



    I'm not sure if the adjuster pulley for the A/C is part of the bracket, so we'll see when that gets fixed.
