Indrid cold Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Sounds like it needs some T.L.C. and bonding time with tools and parts... These cars are easy to work on (kind of) and very forgiving.... fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 Wonder Wedge Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Oh yeah, very savable. This "foamy" stuff, is it like puke yellow? If you open the oil filler, is it under the cap as well? Are you losing coolant? Shutting off at a stop could be a load/idle problem. I assume it's carb'd? Do you see any evidence of leaks (i.e. wet gaskets or wetness) around the intake or carb base?

509northwest Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 yes to the yellow foam and yes to draining coolant and yes carb'd but havent seen anything other then that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
