What to do, what to do....

[opus]

Grey 88 DL- pros--given to me, rust free body, non electric cockpit

cons-- hasnt run in 7 yrs, parts missing, FI

 

 

 

White 86 GL- pros-- runs like a monster, carb'd.

cons-- body starting to show its age.

 

 

So, what do I do? I really need the D/R. Do I gut the 86 and swap it all to the 88? Are the compatible, GL/DL??

you give me the dl i love dls

I could really use the DL corner lights if youd be willing to part with them

Oh and everything should swap over just fine, but the wiring for the motor could get tricky. Or you could keep it fuel injected and replace whatever parts are missing, just swap the manifold from the DL onto the GL motor when you swap the motor and tranny in

[Spiffy]

swap the dual range and radiator into the grey one... it should be an easy swap... get the FI running...

the FI block has a higher compression ratio than the carbed block.

Would putting the carb setup on the '88 be easy enough? I would rather have carb'd than FI. I cant see how anything with that should be difficult.

My 86 has only a couple wires and about 2 or 3 vacuum hoses on it.

You crazy? SPFI is far and away a better system.

 

You would have to do a lot of rewireing and changing of the fuel system to do it. Not worth it to backtrack like that.

Ok, thought it would be simple. This thing has been sitting for 7 years. Wasnt too sure I wanted to fuss around trying to get that running. I am not interested in all the codes that are going to pop up and all that goodness that goes with it. I do believe it has a bad fuel pump, but who knows beyond that. Not wanting to put money into another valueless rig....ya know?

I agree with spiffy. Spfi is sweet. carbs are inconsistant with elevation and weather and seasons. Plus you get a little more power. I used to like carbs too... until i owned a(n) FI car.

.....you are driving the wrong rig if you are concerned about power.

Going to part it out and crush it. Too much work involved to fix it up.
