Jvandal Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi, new guy from TN. After wanting a BRAT for 40 years, finally got one... Sitting under a tree, "Ran when I parked it there".... Ignition switch broken so raided my stash and rewired. Now will run on fuel supplied directly to the carb but the fuel pump itself is very noisy and not pumping fuel. But I have a BRAT! and all sorts of plans for it..... VANDAL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Danny Williams in Johnson City or near there these days , he is/was a junkie for those 80-84 Coupes and in general a Gen Two guy. If you’re local or find Danny on the Internet he may be helpful down the line. I’m pretty sure he had parts yet to unload and maybe a Brat or Hatchback to help you out. “dannybreadman” - definitely on eBay , and maybe here too. Not that your Brat needs anything , looks great. But I don’t have to tell you about being on the east side of the USA and how rare these are becoming. Enjoy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jvandal Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Got it running... had a strange very unique "knock".... found this in Number 1.... all cleaned up and repaired.... on to fuel injection and super charger..... Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvandal Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Fuel Injection installed, TBI500 from a 1989 Pontiac Sunbird, controls by Microsquirt.... Now onto supercharger.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Looks like an awesome project! The single port injection from the Pontiac is an interesting way to go about it. And was that a snapped bolt in the cylinder? That’d be annoying to say the least! Cheers Bennie Edited August 13, 2020 by el_freddo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very random. I’m glad you got onto it early. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvandal Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks, no idea where it came from.... but apparently was very new, at least at the time it was parked, I actually am guessing they parked it due to the "knock". Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
