DL Wagon Recovery


 Share

Recommended Posts

Well, My 81 DL wagon has been sitting since the carb failed about 2 months ago, About a week after I got my legacy. I'm not daring enough to attempt a rebuild of the carb, and the FI conversion is not really an option right now... -- I'm to stupid to figure it out...

 

Anyhow I pulled the cap off of the distributor and apparently that wants to quit also Lots of play. Now there is no tension in the clutch cable. before I got this thing it was all pretty much original. Well apparently I'm asking Should I fix it or should I send it to the next life...

 

I've already done a motor... or two... and its smoking again... so I'm wondering if its time to give it up.

It's not that hard - read through my write up:

Rebuilding the carb isn't bad either - look at it this way: what more damage could you do? It already doesn't run.

 

If it's just a carb and disty it would be stupid to crush it. Disty rebuild is like $50 for everything, and a carb rebuild kit is like $35 for a quality one. Or put that towards an SPFI conversion parts, and have me do up a harness and disty for you.

I have... all the mechanicals seem easy ennough.. its the Fuel pump and lines and also the Wireing harness that scare me..

 

I'll be selling harnesses soon with everything labeled. Should be pretty easy. The return line isn't all that big of a deal - PM bratsrus1 (jerry) - he did an 80 hatch and ran his own return line. I saw it and it didn't look hard at all.

def. interested... PM me price and such..

 

I was wondering if you have that right up in like a printable PDF or if it will all print out there on that site because of the frames?

 

I don't have the full version of acrobat, and I made that site in mozilla composer and wordpad..... someone else might be able to covert it.... here's just the document frame if you want to print it:
