Sounds like you found them. Those are cylindrical,right? Round would be a ball. And yes,undo all grounds you can find. Clean the area of contact and all corrosion and use some dielectric grease when you set them back on.

Haven't done it yet but but I've brought the same subject up before. Older Mikunis would be really cool. But my cut off would be the EA71 cars,personally. I can't see the EA81's with that old English/European sports car look under the hood.

That was my first thought. If it's like the EA82 cars it'll be up under the dash above the driver's left knee ...in the US market. The EA81 folks will know. Metalic cylinder - four wires - one will be larger diameter (blue?) ....IF I'm not mistaken. Pull off the connector and check for blued or burnt post.

Are you going to be up in the corner near Morgantown or ?? Not likely that you'll get to meet me this time around but you never know. There's been discussion of a possible trip to see our friends in Frederick MD. Good luck on your trip.

Wow,that's like Chuck freakin' Barris'...... Grampa Munster's hot rod quality. Yummy ! Now get back into the laboratory Igor and make those carbs match in luster !! Chrome plate the air cleaner box? Hmmmmm .....

Wait a minute .... he's been telling everyone its was sitting INSIDE at Carter's .... Either way its sweet but getting $5K for it now will be tough.

Thanks Todd ! Gimme a call sometime if you're up late.

Have fun guys! Too much going on and I'm hoping for some O/T 'cause I need some fat in the paycheck for my habit. If there's any way at all .....we'll make it with the '78 this time.

I bought mine this past year. Can't recall the number - Todd will If I run across them this week I'll get the # if no reply by then.

WHAT??????? I don't get this. There's EA71 automatics.....

*** Sorry but this is for Gen I vehicles. Good luck with yours.

Hey,can we bring our FWD and go in the woods with someone? If I don't hear from someone by like around 5-6AM then we'll probably bring the old '78 again. If you do have my number please don't call after 9PM but feel free to call around 6:30 -9AM Sunday Yes to the diner unless we're running late. Freezing cold,no tools with me....I sense danger. We'll be there :-p:grin::cool::lol:

kinda still up in the air for us .... hang tight

Sweety,good talking to you the other night. Sorry the battery ran out and charger in the car. Seeing some of those things you've typed I completely understand your frustrations with folks not reading,etc. and your being upset over the money and time into the car and still its not something to take to shows and feel truely proud about..... but !!!! ..... A) look at the prices of anything else that rolls and your $2300 really isn't all that much to worry about since .... you're hardly needing to go spending much more at all to at least make it a FINE daily or occasional user. And again,check the prices of these used cars here in CT and elsewhere in the northeast. You should come out with a car that's reliable and lovable for less than having to go buy a good 2.2 these days. (a good one - don't compare just any 2.2 , compare the condition Coupe vs. Local 2.2's I'm wayyyyyy overtired,must catch a nap before Igorland calls. Call tonight if you want. Mostly I just want to see you TRY to consider keeping it and maybe at least get some fun and miles out of it before turning it over. Good luck and call if you want to. I neglected to add your number and now its already off the menu so when you get a chance give me a ring. Wanna 70's headache instead?? :lol: .... just thought about that.

You know those Mitsubishis bombed Pearl Harbor don't you?? :-p:lol: Well,I guess we can forgive you. Sweet car!! Worth the time and little bit of dough for sure.

Wow What's up with that? Step back,relax. It's an EA81 you'll be fine. There's plenty of good EA81's at Charlie's place alone. Besides,I'm thinking it could be mighty simple like the others are telling you. Good luck. Let me know if you need Charlie's number or anything else and I'll hope for you to NOT fail

I see a few "flange to flange" gaskets for further down the exhaust line. ....And maybe 2 that work up to the head.

New thread. Who's in? We're still uncertain but calender looking good for Sunday.

Supreme effort,Mike !!! Coming out really nice. Let us all know if you find someone who carries that camper top seal,please. Or if we can find someone to reproduce them.

Bump on

Fresh bump for the "new" board.

Yes,I caught that. Good thing because of a Saturday family day at work. We'll head down late Saturday. nip - only mentioning because you poo poo'd the idea of waking up early and of camping,previously. You're top poster - you can handle it. Hopefully I finally get to throw some sand on your prissy blue wagon for taking over top loser spot. all fun - see you there

If you don't have air conditioning or choose to keep your windows down you're going to suck in a lot of sand dust. At the very least bring tissues if not a dust mask or whatever breathing filter you prefer. Red Lion Diner - no matter what nipper says - at around 8:30-9AM for me. For the new follks that's at the traffic circle intersection of route 206 and 70. Most likely we'll camp overnight Friday.....again, no matter what nipper says. Not sure which one we're taking but it's going to have to be vintage. Hoping to have Jim C's old '79 BRAT registered and running well enough to make the trip.

Brat is up here now. Thanks again to all the great folks in south Jersey !!! Pics coming later or tomorrow. BRAT has some rot in the rocker panels and took on some water on the passenger side floor but otherwise looks great and behaves fairly well.
