Chasing my tail with constant repairs on cars when you just get them.
Had to pull the C4 out, (as it was dead) and the exhaust ran under it. No movement in the slip joint....so I cut the sucker.
A bit more than a week and the gearbag is in. Test running the engine the other day gave an intermittent misfire....dizzy was modded to hall effect style in its past life, and its hitting the reluctor wheel.....on the inner on one side, and outer on the opposite side. Tells me a shaft bend, and possible worn bush....but the vacuum advance plate is worn, and gummed up.....and I cant get new rotor button to the above mods.....so easy answer is a new
distributor. (if anyone knows where to get me a cheap MSD for the clevo it would be much appreciated).
Got flange plates and plumbed up the exhaust nicely.
While doing the exhaust, I saw a brake line leak-tighten equals split joiner.
Left exhaust piece off as its easier to access the leaking mongrel joiner. Mates were over the other night, and helped fit a new master cylinder that I had, but due the same joiner that defied all efforts to fix it, said vehicle left as it was.
Basically today I just cut the old line out, and put another one in (that didn't run under the exhaust).
Repairing a vehicle modded in the past is great fun.
Still haven't test driven the C4 yet. Ran on stands ok
I am waiting for the next 'I hate that' thing to pop up to deny me my enjoyment of said 'toy' that I don't get to drive.
