I put a rebuilt generator in the car, ran a dedicated ground from a new looking voltage regulator case to the battery and rewired the entire car...
I used a blend of eBay debris and my original carb. It seems to be fairly happy now
I found the problem: the 8HA carb wasn’t shooting a stream from the accelerator pump. I thought I should take it apart to see why. When I filled...
Yes it’s just like you say where it dies at high rpm and then if I let off for a bit, it comes back to life and it’ll bomb start itself again. It...
Ok I’ll do the fuel volume stop watch test tonight
No I haven’t got a set up for that
I have a set of split headers on my 226 and glass packs out the back. The old motor is running lean and dies at WOT. Currently I have the Holley...
[ATTACH] Driving with open split headers till next week

A few streets away from me is this derelict Maverick. How about that……
Thanks for the ideas, I have a couple emails out to some of the places fellas have mentioned in this thread that may have parts. Short of that...
Yeah I feel the same. Every change seems to snowball into issues. I just want this thing on the road asap and the entire gear set is mint so I...
rad! I’ll follow that up for sure
Thank you for this well thought out response, it’s very helpful. I might just try tapping that bulge down around a mandrel if worse comes to worse.
Only one way :p
I’ll look into that thank you. I’m trying to hobble this car together in time for October 26th because it’s our 26th wedding anniversary and...
Hey!
Ok lol I need some slack today
Yeah I made a mistake there for sure. I was using the green book and referenced something incorrect in it for the station wagon rear end. It’s all...
Yeah I came across one of your posts regarding this last night. Nice car btw! I think there may be a maverick laying in the weeds on the street...
