lokirx706 is on a distinguished road
The other spark yellow has disappeared, assuming the owner came and got the car...



So on the first test drive the secondaries worked, since then, they have not. I am assuming the vacuum diaphragm for the secondaries has failed. On further inspection they were frozen shut, lubed them up and worked them back and forth until they operated smoothly. Then I did the mechanical secondaries mod, and I went out for a drive, MAN does the car feel faster. Feels like what a stock first gen should feel like, and with the open diff it melts the tires off lol

There is a video of some shenanigans...

I also put new radiator hoses on, new heater hoses, and a new thermostat. Oh and a new alternator belt to replace the old dry-rotted belt.







Hoping the weather holds out, I want to keep driving the car as much as I can!
