mikeys toy[RL] Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Got moved out to Washington state, Sold my 1966 valiant cheap and quick, and got into an '81 TE72 wagon! the po thought it needed a carrier bearing; I drove it and found it to be a bad U-joint. The car drives like it has 75,000mi but actually has 275,000mi on it!! Found out you cand change the u-joints so I found another shaft at a junkyard for $65. It's a 3TC car, T50, 3:54 gears (I think) No a/c, but has the rear wiper/washer dealio. Little rust around the rear quarter windows, bottom of the left doors, no holes; just pitting. Pics to come....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono.C Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) That makes me rather sad! Edit, I do say it's fixable though? Edited October 31, 2012 by Jono.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skellington Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Plans for the wagon? How is the 3tc-T50-3:54? That is the setup that I will have when I put all my parts together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeys toy[RL] Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Carb is junk, but I think it's wearing around 3:91 gears. It's in the same range as the Cricket and it has 3:89. 60mph @ 3,000rpm in 5th. NOT 3:58's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
