Hello again all,
I know, I'm slacking on the pics, I apoligise, just haven't had time to run the film threw the process yet, I will get it done soon though. Now, I got a good question, actually a couple for the local gearheads here, or should I say the More mechanically inclined then I,lol. :P
1. I want to rip the bench seat out of her, it's old, not meant for the fun I have in it. Now just happen to have a set of bucket seats out of my wife's old 94' Pont. Grand Am. My question is, Will the swap be as difficult, or more, if I went out to buy a set of aftermarket racing buckets?
2. Now, this truck has 160,000 original miles on it, and still sounds real good, when it wants to. The truck was pulled out of a barn where it sat on blocks for about fifteen years. My brother-in-law rebuilt the carb, replaced cap, rotor, plugs, and wires, replaced ignition coil, oxygen sensor, and (a weired named emissions valve?). Now, when she is cold, she is very hard to get running smooth, and I noticed black smoke coming from the t.p. while she puts away, (Running rich I suppose) but this ends after driving for about fifteen-twenty minutes, and does this about 7 out of 10 cold starts, I do not however know if it is running rich once warmed up, and trying to inspect the plugs for the old school symptoms, she gives me a different looking plug everytime, but nothing to indicate to me there is whatever wrong, by the climer book manual anyway.
What could be causing this? if anything. Where might I possibly look to check this sickness out? And NO Auto Zone, and the Pep Boys gang are no help to me, after I say "1987" I feel like I'm talking about a long extinct species when I go to these people, around my area anyway. Oh, and it is the little 2.2L (22R).
3. Does the manual four speed they put in these things, have a clutch adjustment anywhere? or is it all left up to the grand ol' Hydrolic Sponge, I mean clutch system......
Thanks for all who know more then I, and for reading all the junk I left behind. Thankx in advance if you could help me out here though...lol.
Later.
