DAT510 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Since i'm ALMOST done with my car, i think i should have list of my goals and cross them off as i go. i think the toughest thing im going to have to do right now is put the gas tank in without cracking that plastic piece. Note that i include long term goals i intend to do within 2 years 1. Moar lower 2. Carpet + interior 3. Convert to stick 4. get a good sound system without cutting holes or annihilating the interior, NO 15 inch subs for me, ok maybe one lol 5. Rebuild L16 bore to L18, and Turbo + EFI (Yes, i have the block) i'll add more goals as they come. right now i have a basic understanding of what to do with the engine to make it L18ET Oh and the L20b BARELY cleared the hood like maybe a eighth of an inch Quote Link to comment

That (and occasionally slotting the engine bracket mounting holes) is usually what you need to get it lower. ;) Quote Link to comment

Yeah!!! Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 bump im sure some of the wires on the bottom of the tranny are for the back up lights,but which one is which? and does it matter which wire they connect too? as you can see the wires are connected to the same colors 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 this thing run yet? If you have point distributor I dont see a Ballast resistor dor the POINT coil. If you have a Matchbox then make sure you have a EI coil. I dont see the PVC hose hooked up to the crankcase also the other hole below carb needs to be plugged. Fuel pump is from a 620 which will work but the 510 ones have the inlet /outlet in the correct spot. to make it a cleaner run from the corner by the lights to the inlet of fuel pump.
