Looks good as always Bro. I know it's about tired of not being driven much. I am ready when you are to get wrenchin' on it. We'll get it there soon. Cooler evenings are here so almost time to get busy.
Markus, the belt is either routed wrong, too long or stretched real bad and needs to be replaced anyways if you haven't already. There is a "Range" indicator on the belt tensioner. IIRC the tensioner should be pointing to about the 4 o'clock position.
As far as with or without the handling...
Definitely don't run the timing at zero. 10 degrees before top dead center is the stock setting IIRC. Let us know the vacuum at idle too. You should have approx 16" of vacuum (maybe more) at idle with a 150K+ mileage engine.
Distributor could definately be worn out if mileage is high. Just curious, how much vacuum is the engine pulling at an idle? I would put a vac gauge on it if you haven't already.
Guess I need to add an update to this one. Nothing too much new to report on the Green Machine. Paint is still a along way off as I am trying to save penny's to build a new steel building/work shop. The car runs and drives just great. I typically drive it back and forth to work which is a 110...
Very Carefully....
You will need a small flat tip and a number 2 phillips.
Read the following thoroughly before proceeding.
When looking up at the lenses of the map lights you will see a small slot in the surrounding black plastic that is in the vertical position nearest the on/off...
Has you car ever been hit in the nose? J/C because your hood cable broke, you are having alternator issues and a large harness runs behind the grille.

I just swapped out both front bags (with a pair of used Arnotts) in my 92.
I almost had similar situation had I not watched the bags inflate while it was still on the jack. I had to stop them from filling let some air out and readjust (twist) the lower section of the bag so it was nice and...
Just curious what plugs do you have in it and what are they gapped to?
IMO anything fancier than an Autolite Copper 25 plug in a 5.0 is a waste of money and doesn't perform as well. I set the gap to .045.
Some things to check.
Is your TPS set at 0.98vdc when measured between the green and black wires with the key on? If not adjust it by turning the screw under the throttle body. If you can't bring it into range you may need to elongate the holes in the TPS sensor to get it in spec.
Is your...
No the neighbor hasn't asked to buy it back. He is on to another project for his son. A cheap 1995 Jeep Cherokee. Actually he now drives what was for a short time his sons truck, a beautiful 2001 CrewCab KingRanch F150. Since kid wrecked dads car, kids truck is now dads! :eek:
The overhead display unit has been brought back from the dead. The burnt section of PC board was cut out, all three 100uf 35v capacitors replaced and the traces that were damaged have been hard wired back in. So far so good, it works like new and the compass seems to be accurate too.
I went...
Thanks all! And a huge thanks to Donnie and Mike for the parts donations and a helping hand to get the twisted pieces removed and the new skins installed.
As far as performance goes, I am going to keep this one fairly stock.
There will be no poly bushings in the suspension save for the...
Its a 92 Deep Jewel Green LSC with a sunroof and theft system options. It was a pretty nice ride until my neighbors 16 year old son wrecked it. It was his dads car. He said he was going to part it out but I couldn't let that happen. I had driven it a few times and knew it was pretty darn tight...
Passenger HID is out.
I have a 97 GenII and my pass side HID is out. Only a matter of time before I get a ticket. :( A couple questions.....
When I turn the lights on, the one that is "out" flickers 4 or 5 times then nothing.
Does that mean its the bulb or the ballast that is bad? I plan on...
