Much appreciated, this will help a lot!! Enjoy the rest of your day

I’ve searched around for days now and I can’t seem to find the famous 2.2 swap write up by Numbchux. Everyone says it’s a very useful resource, and I’d like to give it a read in preparation for a swap into my older wagon. I found one thread specifically on here that had a direct link posted my Numbchux himself, but it was years old and now only leads to a blank page. Any links or help locating the write up or any similar would be appreciated! Also, any tips on how to use the search on here more effectively? I struggle to find what I’m looking for a lot of the time

That’s sick! A lot more comprehensive than the little booklet I’ve got. Thanks for the share

I’ve had people tell me in the past that there’s an option to select size when adding an attachment from camera roll, and I’ve seen this before on another device so I know it’s there, but it’s not there on the phone I predominantly use so I had to download a file size compression app and it did the trick for me

My recently purchased project had some original paperwork in it that I feel is worth sharing on here as I haven’t seen it pictured anywhere before

It looks that way to me unfortunately. Does anyone else know if there is any compatibility beyond mechanical?

All for 1974 GL Coupe, LHD US spec 1. Rear quarter panel to weld in (passenger) 2. Windshield and gasket (front) 3. Rolling window (passenger) 4. Center console with or without armrest 5. Headlight trim ring and back mounting bracket 6. Taillight lens and trim (passenger) 7. License plate light plastic cover 8. Front and rear JDM spec bumpers 9. Front combination lights for under JDM bumper 10. GSR airdam or cast to recreate one from 11. Rear view mirror 12. Sun visor (driver) 13. Ashtray face plate for seatback tray 14. Factory optional rear sun louver 15. Factory optional roof luggage rack 16. Factory optional front panel guard 17. Any body related weather seals, grommets, etc 18. Gas filler cap 19. Dome light cover 20. Gas pedal foot pad 21. Fender mounted mirrors I understand that a lot of these items are next to impossible to locate, so I’m posting this with pretty low expectations for things like the airdam, JDM spec parts, and factory options. The list may grow as I get farther into my project, and I have some driveline components that I may be willing to trade with or sell as well. If you have other parts that will fit this vehicle, let me know what you have, I’ll consider anything.

I recently picked up a ‘74 GL Coupe that has a solid crack in the windshield, and is completely missing the passenger rolling window. If anyone has one that they’ll sell or know someone who does, I’d appreciate it greatly!! Also looking for passenger side taillight components (red plastic lens and chrome trim), the plastic shielding for the license plate lights, and the silver trim ring that goes around the headlight. I’d also love to find an original center console unit with or without the armrest, but can fabricate something if not. Thanks!!

Sorry for the delayed response, I’m having trouble posting photos due to the 2MB limit. Any advice? Drove from the CA Bay Area to Sedona AZ and picked up the car. It’s mostly complete in terms of what I care about. Only things that are missing on the body/interior are the center console piece that has the armrest, the rear view mirror (no big deal at this point. I can find something to stick up there that’s close enough) the drivers side sun visor, the radio unit, the circular trim that goes around the headlight on one side, and I think that’s it. The list grows as I take it apart further and further. Considering the condition of the car, there’s more present than I expected. The engine is missing the top end (intake and up) but the rest of the drivetrain is there. Front discs, indoor gas tank, manual transmission. I’m planning to redo the entire drivetrain with a more modern EJ series setup from a pre DBW vehicle so I’m not too concerned about those things. My first task is the body, as it has its share of damage and a little rust. I’m calling this the restoration stage, which will be everything until the point of modifying and fabricating things to make the car drive again. I’d like to get my hands on a left rear quarter panel to weld in if possible, but understand that’s unlikely, but the rest I feel will fix up pretty easily. Will post photos once I figure out how

I’m going to be looking at a 2 door ‘74 GL on Tuesday that the owner claims is 98% complete, and would like to know anything specific to this vehicle that I should look out for good or bad. I figure most of you have more experience than me, given that I have almost none with any subies older than ‘86. I’m also curious about parts swapping between designations GL, DL, GS, and GSR for different years if anyone has knowledge of that Thank you for the help!

At this point in my build I don’t think that would be practical for me, especially considering I have zero experience in tuning or with stand-alone systems Once I have a better understanding of those systems I can see how it would be very beneficial, and will keep it in mind for the future!

Awesome! I have complete sets of both the 1986 and 1990 FSMs, so I have their “ideal” values, but real world data is exponentially more useful imo!! Glad to have this for future reference

So, I just finished my CTS testing. I was unable to find where you previously posted “normal” values for this specific test, but based on the numbers I got I think my CTS is fine. Results are as follows: Tested resistance before starting the car, totally cold, just to cross-reference the value with the FSM value for 68°F, which is about the temp it is out in the morning. Value was 2.454 kOhms, which is dead center of the FSM range. Ran the car until warm, turned it off and immediately tested resistance: 320.85 Ohms 10min: 0.401 kOhms 20min: 0.498 kOhms 30min: 0.584 kOhms 40min: 0.671 kOhms 50min: 0.762 kOhms 60min: 0.849 kOhms Probably could’ve stopped here, but wanted to be absolutely sure 70min: 0.934 kOhms 80min: 1.013 kOhms 90min: 1.134 kOhms Assuming these values are normal (as previously stated, I can’t locate the thread with proper values posted in it), would the next logical thing to test be my fuel pressure under different conditions (upon startup, warm up, driving, asking a lot of the car, going up an incline, etc)?

Nice! It would definitely be a useful (although highly specific) tool to have at your disposal
