I thought this was a progress thread. Where's the progress?


Also, if anyone were to ever stand on my roof, they'd have broken legs. =)

How did you make the windows work when ignition is off?

Progress is from when I got her, to present. Im still working on things, so im still progressing. I know haha I was being super careful. I and only I can be up there.

Thanks! There's a write up in the hot-to section, how to rig your electric windows, works on any vehicle. Its really simple. There's many ways to do it, the one i chose was through the fuses by i may go back and clean it up

Thats a hell of an idea

Thanks haha
Dammit I totally forgot. Smell (should smell like celery), look pink, and be at the correct level. Also not burn the touch, correct? And I never was able to find that link you sent me...damn I'm losing it. Hahaha

I was advised by a guy at work to run higher octane gas, so I'm going to try that as well as retarding my timing a little bit. He brought up a weird point (he has very credible word for mechanic work), that changing the timing won't do a whole lot, the computer still runs the show. So why is it so different running at 13-14* base timing than 10*, when the computer deals with it anyways?

running higher octane will just patch the problem. your main problem is there is carbon build up inside your cylinders and like that link i sent you said, the timing is causing your fuel to ignite early and causing the tin can sound, thats also why your losing power. you can also contact ymeski to make sure, hes the one who told me all this lol.

I'm gunna try 91 oct just for half of a tank or sojust because,
but I suppose this means I need to seafoam it again, and bring the timing back down to 10 or 12?
And is this loss of power also an effect from an old o2?
