            HI        Have you made any progress with Blue bird ..You have a good body to start with a little pant
                and some T L C and you will have a sharp car ... I hope you find the bug soon .........Don

Hi Don,

I think bluebird is going to be passed on to Tougeagle. I really need to spend what little free time I got on Ginger. Ive been in this situation in the past and I wound up with 2 partially completed cars that I never got done. Ginger is really my one true love and I really got alot tied up in her. I thought long and hard the other day, and Its just not fair for Bluebird to be put on the backbuner, She needs a good home where she will be fixed up and driven regularly.... Tougeagle will certainly give her that.!! Its the least I can do for Toug as he is going to help me install my EFI and wire in the computer...as well as fine tune everything.....Ill keep ya all posted on Bluebirds trip to Greely. I do still need to get her running....Im going to install a new distributor and if thats not it an ICM...I really want it to be running when Toug comes to get it.

             HI     Shane   I know how you fell  two pots on a one burner stove doeant work that good .....I had to stop trying to fix all and consentrate on one ...I would like to see you have 2 eagles but I know your right maybe
 later youal find a   sx or   kam    that you fall in love with..........Don

If you don't mind, after work I'd love to come by and check it out on thursday.... that also kinda depends on when I get off of work, and what time you go to bed, cus I wouldn't get there until late... maybe I'll pay for another night at the hotel and come up friday morning or somethign... decisions decisions.... If nothing else, just keep me posted on whether or not you're able to get her running this week. I'm working twelve hour shifts every day until friday, but I'll have to leave on thursday night unless I pay for another room... Just keep me posted XD I'll have a friend come down with me and follow me with caroline back to greeley.

I switched the coil and it fired right up! it stays running as long as i pump the gas...will not idle...just dies when I let off the gas. The guy I got it from said there was a vaccum hose that comes off from time to time and it causes the car to stall out. Any one have an Idea which one it might be....I see a bunch of hoses disconnected and split etc. Which ones are the more "vital" vaccum lines....any help would be awesome.

Don: I'm really not sad to see it go cuz I know its going to be in very good hands...I would never sell an Eagle to anyone who isn't a nest member! Ginger is the most extensive Eagle project I have ever been involved in and I need to stay focused. If another Eagle comes along before Ginger is done theres still a good chance ill snatch it up. Bluebird would be a great rust free project car...but Ive already got my project wagon...but after ginger I would really like an sx4 or kamback....plus I will have a lot more know how and confidence after this restoration.

also if you have the auto the you prolly need the vaccum line that runs the modulator on the lefthand side of the transmission...

I believe the AMC trannys used kickdown cables,so no vacuum needed there

[brentsydlik]

If I'm there on friday (which I may be, it's a half day, end at noon) I'll have a can of seafoam with me, I'll put it down into teh carb bowl vent, the idle tubes may be gummed up. I'll bring some purple power with me too, lol

Ill be out of town friday but Ill leave the keys and title and all that stuff in the car. I didnt get a chance to change the oil yet but it looks pretty clean. I havent got to look at the rear diff. or trans.either. Your more than welcome to come up and work on her or take her if your able. The alternator, bracket, bolts, and spare handle are on the floor in the back seat....Ill grab the belts tomorrow and have them there too. My grandfather lives right next door so if ya need any tools or anything we got alot of stuff in the garage ...Ill PM directions to my place.
