r0p0doe Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I haven't know anyone to run these yet, i'd think they'd be expensive too... Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 well i put in my new starter and my floater broke so i was letting the car sit for awhile. I'm really excited for my swap. I think I'm going to do a gun metal gray bay with a mint green valve cover and I'm also havign weird issues. It feels like my e-brake is on when i drive and I get the smell but the break is off. then the car sometimes starts right up and then sometimes not. ( in even conditions ) how do you guys connect your radio by the way? Quote Link to comment
DatMo Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Been driving the dime and appreciating it for what it is. Just want to say thanks to anyone who helped with this build because I went into it knowing very little and I still don't know enough but it's improved from my noob days. lolol Thanks to Tristin, Flat, Mods, r0po and if i forgot your name sorry but thanks to you too! :thumbup: I also haven't done mods because I want to make my 620 a bit better to suite me for my daily but undoubtedly, I will swap with an l20b or sr depending on what I feel I'm able to complete. This will be in a long time when money is not tighter than asian pussy, hahah :rofl: I'm also having idling problems and my idle seems to go up after a bit every now and then but I realized the bolt holding down my idle screw was loose. I'm not sure how to tighten it since nothing fits in that small space. my oil light randomly comes on occasionally when I start up my car as well. It does this in my 620 as well but stays on in the 620. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 There is a tool or device you can use to help you tune the carbs. I believe it is called something like a flowmeter. I can't remember but I have one at the house and have never had a chance to use it because I haven't put dule carbs on yet. When igegback home this weekend I will try to find it and post a pick of it. My MG fanatic friend in Gulfport, MS turned me onto it. Quote Link to comment
