love ke70

over 5 years on, thats cool shit :)

i might make the journey up for a day or something, if I'm in town...

like, when your slowing down, and leave the car in gear, like engine braking. ye old 4k in the sierra trick... have you done a full service, leads, points, dizzy cap, rotor button, plugs and timed the motor at the correct RPM? cheers, andy

okie, does it also backfire, or like pop and carry on on over run? this may well be running lean infact. what carby have you got on it?

so its an electric pump? or you put a 3k pump back on it? its an old pushrod motor, they like to tick... when does the backfiring occur?

its tipped to rain this weekend... it has been perfect conditions for about the past 3 weeks lol fail.

theyre just getting in before the ban on advertising kicks in, don't worry :)

bet lots at small odds is more likely to return better

i havnt worked in 6 weeks...

wgmg, understanding how easily gambling can become addictive. but so far I'm up, so its good, right?

can't get one new from toyota?

what gun is this? is it definately right? your saying it was saying 10 on the gun before you turned it an unknown number of teeth, and now its saying 10 after turning it a number of teeth, somethings not adding up... what rpm are you setting the timing at?

how was timing set at 10deg BTDC if your dizzy was out by a number of teeth?

nice, thats a good description of static timing, altezzaclub, your just so old school its cool :blush: now if i ever need to quickly static time a old points motor i can :)

out of fuel? blocked fuel line? what sort of timing did you have it set at, at what rpms? did it stop, or did you turn it off and then it woudlnt restart? so it turns over but doesnt start, and you have spark. all your vaccuum stuff right?

just don't post anything when your drunk in the future hey ;)

wtf? shut the f@$k up...

how the f@$k?

just ring an engineer, get a straight answer, and be happy. it depends whether you guys are under NCOPS yet or not

you could do it yourself, just get the machining done. its not hard with some advice from here and a gregorys book. would probably cost you around a grand all up at the worst case

haha i wonder :P can't believe you drove it like that, i woulda guestimated the toe before going anywhere with it that bad. if the steering is still a bit light, or you think its a bit weavy at higher speeds, put some more castor on it :)

cars that lock front brakes are a skill to drive, my patrol ute has a bad habit of it (Too much rear weight) it is something to learn, get some 3rd party property insurance, and put up with it, you will learn a lot!

lol, aint that the truth, i through away a few parts (I NEVER THROW SHIT AWAY) and then within the next week i see WTB for like 3 of the things i threw away :blinks:

f@$k it, now I'm gonna have to go to jamboree :lolcry:

you could get an RACQ inspection on it. but if its rust free, id be looking at oil leaks leaking rear brake cylinders (they always do it) cracked rubber brake lines cracked suspension bushes siezed or floppy shocks chopped springs f@$ked centre bearing on driveshaft (about 150) common thing to pack in too sticky front brakes handbrake needing adjustment faulty lights worn brake pads worn out ball joints thats about all i can think of. to be honest, if your doing the work yourself, expect to spend around a grand to get it roadworthy :)
