Turbone

The manual doesnt show them on the suspension, so they must be on the body. Rob

I think a Release of Interest is whats needed. She has to have it Notorized and then can mail it to Richie. I went thru this with CalebZ, and he's in Texas. I also think Ed's idea is correct too. Rob

Did you keep the old intake? And if you did, did you remove the Air Relief Valve? Rob

Hmmm, sounds like petrolaphobia to me:cool: Rob

Wheres the rest of it? The car/rotor/wires? If your going to do it, do it right;) I would use 10-W40 for the first run, maybe 3/400mi, and buy a Puralator filter. Then pick a good brand of oil and use the OEM filter. Rob

Put a recovery tank on the side wall. Should work. Rob

I think they are attached to the rear suspension, and about 4in square. They are supposed to protect the rear axle inner DOJ. And sorry, no. I'm not crawling under my car to measure it. Rob

If its got a wiper it should have the washer. Rob

If you did the XT6 suspension swap you would have a greater choice of wheels and tires. Rob

I think I read here sometime back of someone useing an ABS rain gutter downspout, the square type. Take some measurements first. Rob

Hey Jaim, glad to see you back in the saddle again. Well, as soon as you get it running:D Good luck, you've done it before. Rob

The person was Rguyver. I thought his setup was Turbo on a NA block? Rob

Check the bolts that attach the carb to the manifold. Also check the filler tube to the tank, they sometimes develop cracks. Rob

15, if you count the parts cars. Have 5 in the driveway right now. I might have forgotten a few:rolleyes: Rob

Check the voltage output at the Alt, and then check it at the battery. If its 12v +, and less at the battery, then the VR is toast. If its less than 12v from the Alt, then its toast. Rob

Is it a 2 piece driveline? Rob

Welcome to the board. Indeed you do have a rare 83. Most 83/84 4wd's with AT were Turbo models. It sounds like you have a vacume leak somewhere. Listen for a whistle, but if you cant hear one, get a can of brake cleaner and spray (lightly) around the vacume lines. If theres a change in rpm's, you have a leak. The autos also have had issues with the vacume modulator. A line runs from the intake manifold to the passenger side of the trannie. Make sure this line isnt leaking also. Rob

When was the last time you changed the oil? And what grade are you using? It might help if you used a 10-W40 for colder temps, maybe even 10-W30. If you re-seal the oil pump, go with OEM parts. Rob

Turbo pistons are flat for low compression. Rob

Where did you buy the plugs at? It really makes a diff, the superstores end up with old stock and not the best of the batch. Thats why they can sell them so cheap. Buy your plugs from an auto store. You are the first one I have ever heard of having probs with NGK. Rob

Sparks? From what area of the trany were they coming from? Sounds like something came loose and bound up. But sparks do not sound good, you may be looking for replacements Rob

Are you using the designer (for lack of a better word) silicone? Thats not designed for water or fuel. I can imagine it could crack in freezing weather, its pretty cheap stuff. Rob

What, it took you 3 months to find it? Rob

Give us an update after you get them off. Rob

I suggest putting in a new waterpump, not terribly expensive, and it sounds almost like the problem I had. Rob
