Well guys I haven't posted in a long time but I still think of economy. The rebuild is going alot slower than I wanted it to.
I have done a couple of free mods while the car is apart. Removed the power steering pump, and looped the hoses, and removed all the Ac lines /compressor ect... The only belt driven items on the motor now are the warer pump and altenator.
I also figured out why the car wasn't running correctly, the cam was off a tooth, so the powerband was shifted, also the tps needs to be adjusted or replaced. Anyhoo the car should be on the road again soon,
