working on my eagle, new stuff
« on: December 10, 2015, 03:53:03 PM »
Well may car started to run like crap last week, while I was working on it, installing new gauges, radio, and speakers.Found out I had a few carburetor issues, choke tstat bad, choke not opening under full throttle, got most of those issues corrected and the tstat on order, cannot find the part locally. The radio is a temp till I get a new radio pod,mine is busted up  and a fellow member may have a 1 din one for me.
