I'm going from where the OP states "fuel pump not filling chamber etc". Otherwise remove plug number one , using finger over hole locate TDC compression stroke , set the distributor with the result causing the rotor head to be pointing where the number one wire would be. Then when all buttoned up check with timing gun and rotate the distributor until all sounds and looks as best as can be , lock the distributor down with the 10mm bolt.

Regardless of how new they may be.

If you can , test both the alternator and v/r. And check the wiring between them.

very true!

Never know. Folks like us know these cars and know how far it is from restored. But I still think presented properly he might get the $5k

Check your alternator too.

Scratch that gasket thought. I just now zoomed in on it. Well it's maybe going to fetch a solid $2.5k I'd hope.

Yeah I recall that car. Might have a recent front windshield gasket. I think I sold the old shop one. I know I was in contact with them as were a few people when those coupes were semi-hot at least amongst some of us here.

Looks like a 73 Good day $5k plus Have see more and know more.

Outstanding !!!

Hey between us like not one of us has a box with a new kit in it? Mine are buried right now. But the instructions come with them and give measurements. And you can start a thread on WBM but the three guys that'll go already are hip. I spoke to Andrew just a couple days ago. Maybe he'll make it too. Says he hasn't logged on here for maybe two plus years. But I'll let him know. He's in Windham Ctr. these days.

Just have plenty of 8-tracks to pop in and crank up!

Hope so. No brakes right now but most of the ride there is rolling not stopping.

And Pete , don't you dare bring that wagon to WBM in June and park it next to the Snow Shark. Too sweet! I hate you....lol

Instructions are in the box. Anybody still have one handy?

Thinking your theory is correct. So many "get one more year out of it" fixes in the oldies.

Ahhh , welcome back...those 80's cars are pretty much all gone from the roads up here but there's a treasure of 1980's cars and parts that hopefully gets released and sold off. It's a probate situation but the guy that left it all was ctsuba here - Charlie - who was taken by cancer last year. But I'm sure you'll score here as needed. Good luck!

Old name. Are you back and bluffing or actually a new guy with a previously used name here? Welcome or welcome back.

Show 'em up !!!

and by driving 70mph for two hours, the whole car lurched and blew out whatever was still in the cylinder, so it runs and sounds great now So the Italian tune up method works. Atta boy !! And yeah, maybe hate is a little strong but uh , ya know there's lots of lights out there. You'll score one soon , I hope. I'm betting Todd has an extra oil pan to sell. I do too somewhere in my mess. Speedo cable - top of tranny. It'll be obvious if you get your head in there. . They almost all stink after 20 years. Mine only works the odometer and speed , well mysteries can be fun ya know. Lol

Clarifying my post. Timesert if you think you'll need to remove that bolt in the future. That's right , the insert - Timesert - does stay there. I've had great experiences with them , only my wallet was crying. Around exhaust that's what I've used. Cheers!

There to stay - heli coil Need to remove in the future - Timesert , or those inserts mentioned.

90-95 mph when all working well , etc. I agree. But don't expect more. 13" wheels and narrow width , just be careful whipping it around. I'll check as I can for that light. I know I just sold one on eBay not long ago. But eBay is a total ripoff for sellers these days. Anyways .... Keep the posts coming. Cheers!

Confirmation thru the dreaded face dook..... Someone saw my Snow Shark and stated what I'd heard rumors of. My old 78 was in the news ripping it up thru the snow down at Seaside Park. My car , the star !! Lol Vintage Snow Shark

Yeah , I'm even doing the tank drop n clean soon on our 92 legacy just because it sat for about 10 years before some kid tried to own it this past fall. It runs fine about 1/2 tank. Pain in the butt , just have to reserve a day and do it. And it'll give you a better eye on your fuel lines too. While the tank is down do all you can for preservation or replacement. Good luck. Be safe.
