I have my lift for sale if anyone is interested. I was unable to complete my brat due to smog issues in this horrible state of california. So my Brat and everything has to go...First come first serve, $300 Shipped to continental US.

If you can do a rotary try and get a Renesis to work. They are found in the new rx-8's and have a 3rd oil injector in the middle to help the life of apex seals last a bit longer. And the new ones are almost much more reliable. I had my RX-8 for about a year and put over 20k miles on it and never once had ANY issues of flooding. They have them tuned for reliability very nicely compared to the first and second gen 7's.

Picked up one of those remans for $50 shipped off rockauto, go get a pully this weekend and I'll be way under $75 bucks for an (almost) double the power alt upgrade! Now time to go get some more lights!

Ok here's some wiring diagrams. Cover (for those interested): On back it says "Covers: Sedan, Coupe, Hardtop, Pick-up and Station Wagon with 66.4, 77.3, 83.1, and 97 cu in engines. Covers all 4WD and MPV models including BRAT" http://img690.imageshack.us/i/scan0001zu.jpg/ 1977 Sedan (one page): http://img203.imageshack.us/i/scan0002bt.jpg/ 4WD MPV (Also Brat / 3 Pages) They all flow together if you tape them as one it makes it really easy to follow: One: http://img688.imageshack.us/i/scan0003s.jpg/ Two: http://img197.imageshack.us/i/scan0004ih.jpg/ Three: http://img716.imageshack.us/i/scan0005t.jpg/ All better, just hit zoom and you'll see it for sure!

I have an 80 chiltons with the wiring in it. I should be able to upload those tomorrow morning if they'll work. Not much should have really changed.

Thanks for the help guys. I did just replace the cat with that new exhaust you guys might have seen on ebay a couple weeks back. It was the whole y-pipe. Not sure if the cat is fully functional however... I don't see how it was a lame excuse. Dieseling is a term referred to the run-on of a engine igniting without the source of a spark, generally just raw fuel. I agree yes that could be an issue at shut down however the tech had no idea what that 'solenoid' was and I tried explaining it to him that in did not effect how the car runs (I have actual plunger inside removed). He disagreed with me, so to solve that I'm just going to tape a wire to it and call it good Due to the many issues I have, I have spent most of my time asking around where I could just spend some $$ to pass as opposed to wasting countless time and other monies to get it back like stock. Tomorrow it's time to call up the state and see if I can get $500 to help 'fix it'

Ok hopefully this one will be different from all the other ones I see. And yes I read a crap load of them and nothing seemed to say what I need answered. Here's the dilemma, I have been trying to pass ca smog and have had absolutely NO luck what so ever. So I am going to try tackling the issues one by one. First off is both shops I went to say my timing is at about 14*. How I don't even see possible. I have had timing issues in the past but have it all working and timed great or at least so I thought. The way I have it timed is just with a generic sears timing light from my buddy that clips to #1 lead and flashes when there is a spark. Typical light I suppose. I have the vacuum advance and vacuum hose plugged and the motor at a decent idle of ~800-850. When I flash the light I get ~8* +/- a degree due to a slight misfire I believe i have. But right on and shouldn't have any issues. When hooked back up it still idles fine and timing still at 8*. When accelerating I see the normal advance working its way up. However when I take it to the smog shop they hook up their fancy shmancy snap-on timing light with a bunch of features. When they look at it, it says '0' on theirs when it flashes right at the 8 mark. But they insist that to do it they hit the advance to where it says 8 on their timing light. Now I'm just confused as hell as to which way is right or what, but the motor runs great even with a craptachi carb. Does anyone have any insight? Also, I failed smog dramtically, they also said I couldn't pass because the ADS wire was disconnected, and I explained to them it doesn't effect emissions just shut-down, failed the evap test, and a gross polluter (CO and HC).

Ben, I have an almost new one on driver side taillight if you would like me to scan that for you...I'll also double check the measurements and see if it adds up.

Gaskets look good, I would if I had a set of side mirrors! My brat never came with any and not high on my priority list to find some. Was thinking of doing 'Z' style on front fender anyways...

To save you some shipping costs, you don't have to ship mine until the bolts come in. I still have to find a set of rear discs to swap over and then do the 6 lug swap and get some tires!

Happy birthday man, have fun and be safe! Still haven't sent my kit yet
