So here in Oregon you can drive on some of the beaches. Now that I've got this thing running and road worthy I figured we better get down there.
Power steering test..

"stuck" :hello2:

So here it would appear I am "stuck" ~well the problem was the 1/4 tank of gas and a carter carb. It died and would not start until I got it back on flat ground, then no problem.
all in all a good trip a couple bugs that I expected but it did good for a car that hasn't run in almost five years.
Getting it out to stretch its legs did a lot of good for the motor it is sounding better~ not so rough but still seems to be lagging it takes all she's got to get up to speed 0-60 in about two minutes if I floor it it chokes and dies I have to ease into it .
Still more work to do but count it as back on the road!

Great pictures! Keep them coming.

Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

No worry's she got a thorough spray down at home! My buddy in the gmc came out with us just in case something happened, He has a lot of work into his truck so I wont tell him you picked on it.

egg to ya for the pictures and another one for letting a Gm product do what it was inteneded to pull stuck ford parts free (eagles have ford parts, mine has alot less now ;D)
-
great pics at least it was an american made product that pulled you out do the 2100 swap and you won't have the problem of dieing on a hill. where in org. do you live my step daughter live in myrtle creek.
-
I live in seaside.I have my eye on the 2100 just waiting for the funds to surface.
what about a clogged catalytic converter could it be causing the lag?
-
Cat yes

Maybe I will get rid of it for testing purposes....
