Stupid question: your drill is in ‘unscrew’ mode? I mean it needs to be counterclockwise for the pump to pump to the engine.

It’s surely repairable but as it looks like both sides from the ‘cord’ got loose, and I bet the old wire holes are stretched or open till the side. So to sew that back and end up with something that doesn’t burst first time you sit on the seat, I would for at least 2 inches before and after the...

You miss the rod connecting to the trans. When in P, it turns and it can lock the steering wheel. You need then the key in contact to unlock.

@Cleveland Crush and it would be tight in the back!! ;D @Paul Schmidt I wish I could help but unfortunately, just like @Vinnie I'm a tad too far... Why not give it a try? I mean, Vincent shows here for his roof, channels etc... that it's a piece of cake!! :) The key is to spit in your hands...

I would not use a rust inhibiter primer, simply because it's of no use since you will spray on top of e-coat, preferably roughen a bit so that all sticks good. The rust prevention is about being airtight, and the properties of these primers work only if in contact with the metal itself as they...

@Vern Cook I just see your canister picts on bigger monitor, (on phone it looked like yellow paint dots). Wow, that's unbelievable! For what it's worth. Extra vacuum brakes tanks do come in many shapes & sizes and have all have the fittings you need and could act as the original canister with...

Nice find! The console with clock too! You scored! You also could look for the pancakes motors and have power rear windows vs cut for your crank. I love to drive the 4 windows down, while with non electric, it's impossible to open/close the other 3 windows from the driver seat!

Good looking Grandé!! Welcome from the Northern Netherlands

One thing you can be sure of is that these cars, even the less optioned are holding their values and can quickly be worth good money if well maintained. You say all metal was changed. well, not sure what "all metal" means, but if indeed the car has been restored properly and has the usual...

@Sheriff41 Thank you, I wish I were but I'm light years away from that! I try to learn but man it's hard tho I confess I start to like it! :) I wish I had more tooling to help, but being hobbyist, it doesn't make sense to invest in these expensive tools for the one or two times I'll ever need...

Over the years I had a few smelly guys. A bad basket at the tank. there were fuel fumes in my trunk and of course outside. The breathers. I used to have open breathers "mushrooms" and at some point, the foam inside them, after many quick downs and right foot to floor, fills up with oils and fuel...

@August07 If you do not have a multimeter, buy one, but more invaluable and most simple tool you need, is a simple circuit tester. which is basically 2 wires with a light bulb in between. also, I did mention measure the feed at the coil. that the battery is ok is nice to know, but what...

oh and a little extra. As I try to document everything that really goes into this.. I forgot a few details that I did and will not mention later on as I will forget! :D I did more details, like further paint removal to inspect the metal that might or not be in need of a future surgery. That...

Hey all, Some weekends have passed and I did not post anything. Weather has been nice after weeks of rain, so I've been enjoying my 73 more than usual ( ain't it the goal!?) :) So this took some time off my 71 project. That having said, it's not like I went go burn my skin on a beach! I did...

Sounds to me you are loosing the feed at the coil. Check if you have 12v with key on. The contact switch is often prone to failure

And it has the original bumper too! Welcome from the Northern Netherlands

Beautiful 73! Take good care of it! Welcome from the Northern Netherlands

Niiiiiice! Welcome from the northern Netherlands

Very clever indeed. Tho I must say I have no issues with the ECU (yet). I got issues with the device for sure, Most due to my lack of knowledge in the first place. Like not knowing that exhaust needed be airtight (they do not tell you that in the install vids). or modify Masda parts to move the...

If the knob rests are turning . I’d use a heat gun ( protect the surroundings well, remove the plastic cover behind). When hot use pliers or vice grip and press it all around. When cool the plastic will then match the threads again. Repeat with the vise grip, turning slowly while pulling...
