I swear I was thinking of doing this under my passenger's seat. The heater valve leaking plus that doors foam being ripped has rotted a hole under there. That was my easiest solution I could do by myself, lay down some fiberglass cloth to cover the hole. Wondered if I should lay it inside or underneath. I need to kill the rot asap with some SEM rust inhibitor.

I know how I am but not too sure about these other jokers but I won't click on a link to a photo. Please don't take that wrong but I think you'd be better off using the forums tools to upload photos or copy and paste them. When you reply look at the bottom left for the paper clip and CLICK TO CHOOSE FILES. it's pretty easy and you'll get more views when the pics are on the post instead of clicking off somewhere else. Just a friendly fyi. I spend way too much time on this forum. I really like the folks on here and they know EVERYTHING.

When you're bored as hell this thread has some pertinent info for your car, I think. http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/50850-no-vacuum-at-throttle-body-ports/

Glad you got it back together. I'm by myself and now have a timing light that shows rpms but before buying that I would use my phones recorder on the tach gauge while fooling with the motor. Then replay the video and see what the readings were. Almost bought a baby monitor in a momment of brain farts.

Two things I can add to Zeds response. Behind the black cover on the afm is a sweeping contact vane. Check that to make sure it's clean and shiny. I had a spider web on mine one time, moisture and carbon buildup can be suspect too. The other is the pcv dumping oily air in front of the throttle blade and gumming the throttle body up. That could cause the blade to not shut completely letting air past and high rpm. I clean them with an old toothbrush and lacquer thinner. When I'm on my laptop I will link some info with great pictures from member formally known as "Blue's tech tips" now I guess we call it Philip's tech tips Or 240260280'S Tech Tips. You'll have to plug the bcdd vacuum port from inside the throttle body if I remember right. That's another tech tip I'll post for you. You don't want any open hoses or hose bungs to suck in air.

Note to Self: Never feed spicey boiled peanuts to the dog. He doesn't know better but now you do.

I think it's gonna look like this...

Could that be where they go through the firewall? Weird they're broken open at the same spot. You have a 260, right? I don't think I've ever seen one in person so I'm just guessing.

here's what I go by for adjusting mine. Thanks @240260280

My bad. That tube/straw is the B-12 in the fuel supply bung.

You put the straw in the wrong hole. If you'll look, it's too late now though but, the straw in the other bung would hit the top of the float and push it down unsticking a stuck float. Those pins cannot slide out when the lids are mounted on the float bowls, there's not enough room on either side to slide out. They will hit the float bowl housing. When you say broken under the dash do you mean broken under the choke lever on the console? If that's the case the easiest fix is to buy a choke holder from Art Singer on ebay.

If you sent me some Omaha Steaks they'd be in a styrofoam box with dry ice. I could swap out the fillet mignawns for some jumbo peanuts.

That looks really good. What did you do for the 5/8s on top of the tank, the 180 degree bend? I lucked out and got all my stuff from O'Reilly's.

captain's is more suited for disassembly. I just read the FSM and turned the nut clockwise until the rpms dropped like they should at red lights and stop signs.

Make sure the slave cylinder is working. Get someone to work the clutch pedal while you look, it's mounted on the passenger's side of the transmission. The rod should push the fork out.

Next, Cincinnati Chili. The weather finally broke, lows in the 40s all this week.

Try the red straw off a WD-40 can down the overflow bung and see if you can unstuck 'em.

Hey now, we might have a trade in the works. Those look nice and fresh. Enjoy!

I drove to Chipley, FL Friday to get 96 pounds of green jumbo peanuts. 10 hours, 600 miles me and the dog. I don't think my dog had much fun though. The picture looks fake but I promise they are that fat. Only available in October, south Georgia and Alabama, north Florida. I had some at a wedding earlier and just had to have my own stash. Boiled half Saturday and the other half Sunday. Sea salt, Zatarain's spicy crab boil, 8 green jalepenos sliced lengthwise. Boiled 3 hours then let them soak 4 hours. Put them in a refrigerator overnight and bagged them up in gallon Ziplocs. I have a deep freezer with 45 bags in there. Maybe I'll still have some for Atlanta's ZCON next year? If you can believe it they make beer even better.

I'm no neurologist but one or 10 of these should help.

I put a turbo oil pump on my 2.4 with only a spray bar, my gauge stays pegged on the right side. I think it's too much for mine as it leaks around the oil pump a little. If that bypass ball wasn't there I'd be replacing gaskets. Hopefully this winter I'll be adding an oiler cam to go along with the spray bar.

Here's about the coolest I've heard so far but it's a Mazda rotor.

Just it just start this? Could it be some type of switch that raises it when in gear for an automatic. Maybe that switch has gone bad? What does it rev in DRIVE sitting still? Seems like there's a vacuum pull that raises the rpms on autos when you put them in gear. @djwarner would probably know. He has an auto and is pretty darn smart.
