Got some bad news..well kinda. I think cyl #3 is shot. barely got the car to go 60mph on the highway and due to the extra rich #3 and having no real exhaust to speak of my eyes were ------- BURNING the whole way home. Add some rain, no windshield wipers and the window all the way down to keep from asphyxiating oh yeah, and no heater controls, shitty brakes it was a bitch of a ride home. People honked, I cried blah blah. Found out the previous owner did a rear disc swap, so thats neato (no parking brake yet tho). I'm HOPING #3 is just an ignition issue. Dont feel like cracking open the motor right now. Its dark..and rainy. I'll try to get better pics tomorrow

IM A ------- IDIOT.

Seems after I did the compression check, i put the plug wires in wrong (prev. owner had the lengths all fucked up). Motor runs fine. I was running on 2 cylinders on the way home. Guess that would explain the lack of power.

Got the heat working today. Yes!

This is true. Speaking of the burning eyes, I just can't express how ------- horrible that was. I've been in a dyno room for 4hrs on a windless day. That was unpleasant. This was ------- hellish. I probably could have lit my spit and made a fireball.


Yea, driving behind Jess to pick that bad boy up was awful. He was hangin his head out the window like a dog to get fresh air, and yet he still got gas fumes all over himself.
Anywho, enough bitching. Hopefully today I'll have time to inspect/bleed the brakes at least.
