post-2275-0-46936100-1330304442_thumb.jpgHi there all!

long time reader first time poster, A few years ago I bought a TA22 with great intentions of putting a 4AGE in and restoring her to her former glory, long story short got bent over and absolutly ripped in the process,

4 years later the motor is half done and the body is wrecked.(so thats the sob story over :D)

 

Yesterday I picked up this baby, http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/58322-black-ta22-1974-celica-3t-gte-motor-intercooled-blue-plated/page__p__585900__fromsearch__1#entry585900 (don't know how to make it a clicky?)

 

Drove home just beautiful, I think the gear ratio's must be out somewhere as it was about 3000RPM crusing on 100kh, drove it from brisbane to hervey bay with a rest break every hour, just as i pulled into the drive way it died!

just comepletly stopped all electricals cut out, no dash lights nothing, there wasn't any weird noise it just turned off, so pushed her down the driveway and had a look this morning. I checked the batt still fully charged then I found this! may be the problem

What sort of igntion is it running? Points still?

 

Check points gap and timing if it is. Then hunt through the water system.

 

Ah- and read the code on the diff tag, or jack a wheel up and count the turns to get the diff ratio. Check the VIN plate to see if its on there too.

 

3000rpm at 100kph is probably a 4.1, might be a 4.3 on a 5speed too.
