yeah im fairly experienced just not with the older cars this only my second ever carberated car but ive been working on fuel injected engines since i was about 15. i have done one successful engine swap in a 81 cutlass pulled out a deisel and dropped in a 350. i know enough to get by with repairs and such. ive just never been to great at diagnosing problems.
anyway .the engine seems to be running real smooth on the road just lacks power. the stearing may be normal but to me it just feels like i turn the wheel 90 degrees before anything happens. Im sure im exagerating there but thats who it feels to me (take in mind almost every car ive owned was a small sports car. so im use to tight steering)as far as the breaks sounds way to loud to be a normal sound . as far as emissions go i live in wv we dont have emissions testing here. even if we did it wont effect me im one of the lucky ones who just happens to have a buddy who runs an inspection station
ive always been more of a jap sports car person but all in all im a true car lover i like em all sept them damn civics. i generaly hate to see any car go to waste and my sis was gonna junk this so i talked her into giveing it to me.i feel when its finished it will be a nice addition to my now all domestic small car collection including 77 olds 98 regency 93 olds cutlass supreme 89 eagle premier(currently used as storage bin) and a 94 ford probe gt(current project)
anyway let me stop my damn babbling
thanks for the help
