Wish I had pics. Saw it on my way into the movies this afternoon...maybe I'll see it around town again, although this is my first sighting in this area since last summer. Couple of young college gir ...

I'm no expert, but....

I ripped all the old EGR stuff out, and everything I've heard says pull the vacuum lines, leave 'em open on the dizzy, plug them on the intake. And then replace your distribu ...

yeah, it was my first (and only) foolish dealing with them....but I'm still really looking forward to the manual one of these days.......

Back on topic, let's not forget the books published by Broo ...

You can still get an (expensive!!) photocopied factory blue from 2002ad....IF you have the patience (mine's been on order waiting for "binding" since early March). Maybe not the best decision I ever ...

Also, there's Aardvark Racing in Bonita down San Diego way...

I'm with Steve and c1cc on this; spend a little more in the beginning, come out ahead in the end. Better to buy a car for $5000 that runs well and is tight than spending $1000 on a rust bucket that ...

this looks like a 320i rad; in fact, with that lower hose and the way it's bolted in, it looks like a textbook conversion from BavAuto.

oh yeah, i forgot about those guys...i'll give them a ring tomorrow and see what kind of quote they can give me. wish these things weren't so damn expensive!

cheers and thanks for the tip

That about says it all...there were others, but they got scooped before I could get 'em, and I really don't want to pay $400+ for one. Need one in a bad way! Any reasonable offers on clean/new/used ...

I'm trying to track down the exact distributor I need, the mech advance from the tii, and following threads here have led me to understand this is the 002 distributor. Most sites don't have this info ...

I've seen them from 2002ad here in the States:

for the odd price of $51.11?!

Hey Justin, thank you for the tip! That's just the sort of thing I've been wanting to do, but it seemed too "complex"! You make it sound easy...that plus I wasn't sure where to get the harness. Glad ...

Hi all; I'm looking for a replacement for my vacuum advance dizzy in a '76, looking to upgrade to a mechanical advance; maybe we can trade? Dan in OKC recommended a tii dizzy...if compatible. post yo ...

got any '76?

Some engine pictures; this is the engine in it's ORIGINAL state, only the red rag in the carb is my addition at this point. Sorry in advance about the quality of the pictures, it's a cheap Canon Power ...

As promised, some preliminary pictures.

The first you see in the series are the day of purchase...if only I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have given him nearly as much for it!

As you ca ...

This will be a journal of the partial restoration of my 1976 California 2002. I say partial now, but I know I have big dreams for it in the future (or possibly another '02, if the body on this one tu ...

Yes, you definitely need the lower hose from the 320; I did this install a month ago, and there's no way to do it with the stock hose. Also, it's recommended (AFTER you check the fit) that you cut ou ...

Dan - still got it? I'll take it off your hands. Shoot me an email!

Cheers

...to tide you over; will include engine pics when not in a totally embarrassing condition...

speaking of which, can anyone recommend an engine cleaner? i'm looking to remove 32 years of perma-slud ...

nice two-tone! beeeeautiful.

no, in that case you don't need to bother plugging it; i thought it made a passage into the manifold. i'm not so sure this has anything to do with ignition timing...perhaps attending to the choke iss ...

FINALLY...after being off the road for a "minor coolant leak" for the last 3 months (well, it would be exactly three on the 28th...), in my garage, waiting patiently for me to learn the whole thing fr ...

As I understand it, you don't need to use the choke, and many people don't in all-year temperate climates like San Diego; not sure if TN falls into that category, but if you're not having problems, th ...

yah, it looks like your choke's not hooked up for a start (unless of course you unhooked it for the pictures), and that last picture of the hole in the intake between 3 and 2, you're missing a coolant ...

what a lovely car!! looks like jadegrun has a tii twin!

I used to name my cars: Ruth was the last one, a beater American hunk of plastic that, while she didn't give me big problems, was tough to deal with all the same. I tend to side with Tom and Ray Magl ...

Nice...is this jade green?
I kind of have a soft spot for jadegreen....

thanks for the pics...sounds like all the things mine needs....someday.
