Hey there ill start from the bottom with the history..i bought my 521 about a year ago..its an L 16 with a junky carb ..it has a pertronix electrnic ignition system. Low compression in the middle cylinders.. it has a 5 speed i just bought a clutc for it..so i wanna drift this truck but i need some advice..i really wanna keep the L16 so i was looking for reuild kits nly fnding a couple that were pretty expensive..if i could get some site links that wuld be dope...um i am having a slight cooling issue..i have an electric fan about 12n..when my truck reaches operatng temp..my idle raises quite a bit and i have problems keeping it cool..any ideas..my alernatoe is new i bought it frm nap..when i put it on it whined with the engine rpm..i loosened it whic solved it but now it sunds like theres gravel inside it..t gets more rattly with more rpms..i had to tap the ground threads on the alternatr so. Was thnkng i should take it apart and inspect and clean..i want to lower it ive heard ndexing the torsin bars in front is a cheap one and bloxks in the back..mind you im locking up the rear end and drifting it lol..im also loking for fender flare ideas..and a winshield visor..oh and whats a good car to pull bucket seats out of..i need small seats.i realy wanna fnd a badass dual su crb set up or sme milkuni solexs so let me know..im know theres more but this s good for ne post lmao thanks everyone!!
