Good job Tex! I assume you did that after I left. Geeze, I hate it when I miss stuff:\

Wow, you made an exact copy of this one. Qmans Brat

I always thought it was for seeing what was coming down the cross streets when you nosed out of the very narrow side streets. You had to be there

I gathered that after reading a few. I didnt see any on it before he left thats all.

I saw that tape deck in Japan in 74, I think it was a Teac or Akai. I thought it was to complicated to work for long. The EA series are overhead valves, with the above explanations correct also. Thats why EAA builders like to use them in their planes. I dont know if you mentioned if the car was a manual or auto? If its a auto, there may be issues down the road with it. The govenors like to strip out and the vac modulators will leak too. Nice score on a Classic.

Whow, somebody went nuts with the decals Glad to hear you guys did good, wish I coulda been there

That SRX is very interesting. If you look close it has rear disc brakes(2wd), 1.6L engine and theres something like a heads up display on the dash. And maybe a heigth adj seat maybe? Not to mention the headlight washer.

I would luv to see that Maybe this is something we can set up for WCSS7, eh? I have a feeling there might be a few XT6's there :cool:

It most likely needs the oil pump resealed. Alot cheaper than replacing the engine. (edit) Oops, I missed that sentence. Might try some tranny fluid, let it run for a 100mi or so, then change the oil again.

Both of mine need minor mechanical repair. $1000 for the first one, $750 for # 2. If its in great shape all around, expect to pay close to, if not more than $2K. At $2K it better have low miles also.

I think that if I removed the ground wire on the FP, it would still operate. I'm sure the major problem was the wiring harness plugs. I am aware that the grounds are a common problem and I did clean all of the ones in the engine compartment during the install. We now know that the plugs are also a item that needs special attention when doing engine swaps.

I think he took the pic himself, so its it was taken upside down

I think its electrical. I assume its a pushbutton 4wd and if so, theres a servo that pushes a pin into the transfer case engaging 4wd. Check to see if the plugs are tight first, if so you may need to replace it. I have seen one that didnt work at all because the pin was sheared in half.

I know you've been watching the weather, right? Sunday looks like its going to be pretty wet. What about during the week? I'm not working now and might be able to do something then.

If I have the time I might go thru my stuff and look for those hard to find items. Anyone think of some?

Might want to check and see if they are all identical in size. Then check the air pressure. After that, I dont have a clue why it would have after changing tires.

I think I would disconnect the amp wiring you did and see if it still does it. At least rule it out as a problem. If it still does it, check the alternator output. It probably wouldnt hurt to add some grounds also.

I think Bow Wow will turn your rotors for you. If you can get a hold of Austin, I'm sure he can help you do the brakes. Might save you some $.

Problem solved! Added a ground wire to the FP, it works fine now. The engine was still having problems. It seemed like it was fuel starved and running on2/3 cylinders. I could barley get it up to 3K and hold it. I tried just about everything until I was adjusting the disty for the umpteenth time, when I turned it I bumped the main wiring harness and it sputtered and died. Doh! I checked the plugs (I could swear I pushed them suckers together tight) and they were both loose. I had to use the frame rail to push against but they are tight now! After that she fired right up After I did some quick fine tuning, I jumped in (after rearranging stuff inside ) and actually drove it down the street and back. I've had the car for over a year now, gone thru 3 engines trying to get one that was decent enough to put together. Not much luck with ones that had blown HG, they pit the cylinder walls bad when they arent drained of water. Thanks to Qman for providing the running engine and parts car. My RX is finally running! W00T! Its going to be ready for WCSS7, I hope I can get the body work done by then too.

Have a look at the real thing XT6.net Tattoo's

Make sure you attach it real good, otherwise it will slip out from under you. We dont want to hear that you had a accident while putting it on :-\ Whats the pitch on the roof? 5/12?

I tried 3 different relays, still no worky :-\

Wow, another loooong dead one resurrected

Cant you use the original bolt from the x-member? Or is the hole in the control arm the same as the bolt? Shady, would appreciate it if you kept your promotions in your own threads.

Yup, finally at that point. But the fuel pump isnt working properly. I have power to it with the green connector hooked up, it supposed to cycle on off but the pump wont run. I removed the FP and hooked 12v to it and it works fine. I didnt have time to go thru the codes or troubleshoot it today, but is there a common problem and remedy when it does this? If I really have to, I can temp wire it, but I'd rather fix it right.
