Before auction, they were brought in and all equipment removed and returned to original.I thought it was forbidden to modify the cars from stock powertrain/driveline/electrical configuration? what happened when the vehicles reached EOL and were auctioned off?
Picture of filter and valve please.Tore into the carb again today, after spending hours researching why I was having such a hard start and every answer coming back as choke or timing. Timing is 0° without ecm, choke is set (thanks Lars) again, everything as far as I can see is good. Back to more research, and an hour later find 1 little blurb talking about the fuel filter. What the heck, nothing to loose now, so looked that up too. And found a YouTube video showing exactly how to remove/install one on a quadrajet.
6 hours of research, days of tinkering and tweeking and weeks of hard starts boiled down to a 50¢ piece of rubber. The fuel filter check valve that was not in there when I got the carb rebuilt. New filter, no check valve. Bowl was siphoned empty every night, no wonder it wouldn't start with a simple pump or 3 on the gas pedal.
You don’t have to remove all the paint. Get rid of the loose stuff and scuff it good. I have seen it done to whole Jeep’s for rock climbing. This is ten years old.I'm interested in doing this to my 5th gen (when I finally get it). Any tips?
What size was it new?Drilled the hole in my steering pump adapter/inlet to 5/32". Let's see if the turning gets easier. I'll go for a test drive after dinner.
Bought the El Camino in Florida 14 months ago. Had it shipped to NJ because I retired from there and was an electrical contractor that wires body and mechanics shops and made friends. My garage shop is in NJ. I am a resident of Florida but summer in Cape May area. I have this thing running excellently after 2 summers and I will drive it to Florida on 10/17.
