hello guys!. some of you have already read my idle issue thread, but i thought id post a project thread seeing as how a few mods ARE in store for this ride. got this little diamond in the rough from a friends dad for free. Bought new by my friends grandparents, it was VERY low optioned and well kept. now id say a good 20 years back this car was handed over to my friends dad who also maintained it mechanically but it was just a car for him. he said it started a sudden idle problem and he never could fix it. he acquired a low optioned 96 Neon also from the grandparents, so into the barn the horizon went. 10 years later.. here i am pulling it out. my girlfriend needs a small reliable daily that she doesnt have to gas up every 3 days like my 82 Mercury. i mentioned this to his dad.....
"if you can fix it and drive it outta here you can have it"
so i went to work. did the basic tune up stuffs. found the source of the idle issue. the entire screw was missing. but details of that are in my other post. still running rough but doesnt stall now. and i have just replaced the rubber brake lines up front because they were collapsed i believe. couldnt blow air through them so i figured... hey thats probably not good haha. so those are on, now we gotta bleed the brake all around and then test drive it
carb still needs adjusted pretty significantly
