What did you do to your 2002 today !

Dang, heal fast, @BarneyT. You gotta get back to building those cars we all drool over. 

[Stevenc22]

Barney hope you feel better!

Just swapped out my cap and rotor on the 123Distributor after extreme corrosion was cleaned up a month ago.  I'll keep the old parts as used spares.  For anyone looking for replacement 123 cap I found NAPA had s good price.

 

Distributor Cap (Beru) ATM VK106 Qty: 1 $12.99 $12.99 /each New replacement rotor from 123 in place.  Rotor is $25 w/ $15 shipping!

I have done nothing with the 2002s in two weeks but look at them, I took a tumble the other day, and now I need rotator cuff surgery...

 

 

 

 

 

Stop doing that.

I think the oil ingress into mine was able to minimize the corrosion.

I was thinking my extreme corrosion all the way to blue azurite was promoted by possible oil and acidic crankcase gasses combined with wet winter conditions. It was an oily mess but had a beautiful blue color.

I installed a new gas pedal and bushing because my pedal was starting to grind. 

[Shiparino]

Disassembled the front suspension and steering and pulled the subframe.  Got it cleaned up and treated it with rust converter.  I was going to buy the engine mount reinforcement piece from Ireland, but noticed that someone had already done the repair.  This project is picking up some steam, maybe driving by end summer?  Or did I just jinx myself...

 

Oh yeah, also had some fun over the weekend, removing a seized rear subframe mount...

I am refurbishing my front suspension piece by piece…

Worked on a new rear shelf today and got installed some decals in my center caps and also swapped the shift knob.

Decided I needed a break from Franzi's engine bay so started cleaning up "firewall Forward" components/assemblies.  Strut stuff is done but waiting for Bilsteins to arrive to reassemble.

Going at the pedal box now.

Yes there's 2 of them there, have an extra so may as well do both now, good trading stock😉

Wish it would stop raining long enough to mow my yard.

First wash of Spring. Tuned the DCOE Webers to new intake, better but not perfect.

 

I used Pat Allens tune box and dwell would float from  56.1 to 62.4 ish at idle.  Is this normal ?

Finished POR-15ing inner door bottoms. 

Now, putting rehabbed, refinished, refined, regrommeted, rechanneled, and regreased door innerds back in...

No.  It should be steady.  I've never seen or heard of fluctuations like that.  I'd take a close look at the points.  Very strange!

Do you have another dwell meter to try?

 

Was the idle fluctuating as well?  It seems like it would be, because timing would also be changing.

Idle would fluctuate very little and would idle well for the most part. I do have an Innova light also.

I'll check that tomorrow afternoon, can also take a look at the points. 

Thanks for reply.
