Usually i just say hello and they dont give me much trouble

You have to be 100% certain you have excellent ground on your ignition control module. You have had it off and on again, check and double check! May be a simple as that.

I live in Canada, so my experience may be different than yours. I COULD NOT find a shop that was willing to take my car in and shoot it after I had done the bodywork. It wasn't that my work was bad.... they would not even look at it. Also.... I painted my shell in my garage. Built a tent out...

Liquid gas is not explosive. Vapors are the hazard here. Gas is fuel using it as a cleaner is like using a screwdriver as a chisel. It kind of works but the risk outweighs the benefit

I just checked and it looks like I may be off on my comment about the fuel gauge. Nevertheless, it's a simple cheap long term solution. I was pretty happy with myself for sorting it out!

I may be wrong but I thought the earlier Darts had the voltage regulator in the fuel gauge? I made an electronic VR with a few parts ordered online. Bought enough to cobble together 5 voltage regs for about 20 bucks delivered to my front door.

Normally I stick up for disabled people. That made me snort laugh

I turned a piece of brass on my lathe and used a small hitch pin clip to secure it. Not factory but it has held up beautifully

I am no pro, but I don't think you are measuring ride height according to the FSM. As I understand it, these unibody cars are not to be measured from anywhere on the sheet metal. Follow the process and set your ride height according to the FSM. I tried 3 different shops in my area and NOT ONE...

I considered using rope on mine. I did a rope install the rear slider in my Dakota. It worked slick! I chose not to go with rope on the dart, that rear window has some mean points on the lower, and it is not easy getting around there let alone room inside near the package tray. After I found...

I agree with the posters that say do it yourself. I installed all the glass in my 74 swinger by myself with no help at all with absolutely no damage or leakage afterwards. Go down to the glass shop and talk to the oldest guy you can find. He will probably gladly give you his advice, while...

I'm pretty handy with a mig welder, and have a spare distributor I dont mind fiddling with at all! I will check into this... thanks for the idea!

Thanks again! will add the fuel line pinch test to my tinkering once the North Pole goes home. At the risk of sounding even more like a Noob..... WET fuel level = actual float bowl fuel level??? I do have a bit of the little starter that could syndrome when the engine is cold and has been...

Train wreck? Like I mentioned it RUNS pretty good, but does it drive good? No idea, its about 40 below, and there is about 3 inches of ice on the roads, not to mention a big frigging snow drift behind the bay door the car is parked behind. Ask me how it works once we get to a month with no...

simply awesome. Thank you for this wonderful explanation. I have this saved and will have a go at her again as soon as the weather breaks. thank you

Appreciate all your help. at the current 750 idle speed in Park, it drops to about 625 in gear.( from memory... will confirm) I'm going to be honest and tell you I don't know what a transfer slot is, or what adjustments I may have made to get it into, or out of whack. Once Jack Frost...

read the post dummy he said 650...... jeeze....

I'm pretty sure I took screen shots of a post you made some time ago with these instructions and more....., (it had step by step instructions at least 15 different points) I used your road map ( I think) as close as I could and it greatly helped me get to where I am. Thank you for that, it is...

I have seen the charts, and corrected most of the issues I have had, and at this point have replaced parts, and tuned to the point I cant seem to improve from where I am at. A steady needle and smooth engine at idle is where I'm at.... itching to drive it and see how it likes my settings. The...

I pulled the 750 from a post here on Fabo, and I believe that was the setting recommended in the carb kit instructions. where would you set the idle speed?

My concern was reading somewhere that I was looking for 20-21 or so.

Greetings all. Once again, I am back with a question where I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous.... and can use some assistance from the astounding bench strength here on FABO. sorry for the long post, i want to be complete. I have a 1974 swinger, with I believe a 1974 318... (I...

I just did a timing set swap in my 74 dart 318. I did not use the felt gasket I could not see any literature that showed where and when to use it. So far no leaks! What threw me for a loop is the Rock auto OEM style Balancer I installed, had NO TIMING MARKS!!!! Seemed odd. I made my own, not...

Welcome from Edmonton! where on earth did you find that junkyard? I'd gladly make the 3 hour trip if it's near Calgary. any other interesting parts or bodies out there?

Glad you liked it. it's a work in progress for me. so far I just have an old pipe vise rigged up this way. more to come!

consider bolting a stand in the floor made out of heavy square tubing. using hitch receivers it's a quick change took post for bench grinder, chop saw, vise, etc. can really save floor space with this trick.

you are correct. These people and families should be primary concern

fair enough

I have no problem paying reasonable taxes so that people who truly need welfare get it I would prefer it goes hand in hand with education or job skills training though

no I dont own any nissan products if you think it's funny to laugh at and call poor people deadbeats, pass judgement as to why they are poor then fill your boots that's not my style
