I need to replace the plug wires. Plus, I think I bent the shift forks or something inside the trans. 3rd gear isnt happy on quick upshifts or downshifts. It's fine for normal driving though.

I don’t think the motor is vented properly. I’ve got some valve covers with -12 fittings welded on I need to install with a catch can. That and probably re-torquing should do the trick.Cool glad your enjoying the car! Did you try retorqing the intake manifold? That may solve the oil leak.
All I can think of, considering the big giant antenna that you chose to group all those cars around is...
Went cruising with my buddies today. Beat on the car a little to see if it was quicker than the nova (420whp). It’s not, but not by much. We were all impressed - considering it’s a stock motor on 7psi. It’s pushing oil out the back of the intake, the power steering pump is spewing fluid out the rerun line at the pump, and the driveshaft has a bad vibration over 80mph. All minor things and we had a blast today.
It’s an LS swap. Surely you wouldn’t go for that!All I can think of, considering the big giant antenna that you chose to group all those cars around is...
Phone home.
Ask your buddy with the 64 nova how he feels about trading for a jap engined fairmont that don’t run.
cool rims,got mine because of five lug cobra upgrade and needed 17' s to clear the rotors/calipersIt's happening again.
A moment of weakness and I broke my self imposed rule of "one project at a time".
The car has been collecting dust waiting on a clutch. As such, I've been getting the classic car itch and have been in FO mode at work cruising classifieds for 6-7 hours. In the midst of all that, I still desire to upgrade the fox's rolling gear, and I finally found a set of wheels that fit several criteria:
- Cheap
- 5 lug
- quasi-uncommon on a fox
- free of rash
So, I listed the wheels/tires off the fox for $300 expecting to give them away for $150. Within 5 minutes, I had 3 cash offers for full price and they were gone. Whoops.
So anyway, I make an offer at $180 for these ultra-clean 35th anniversary wheels and the dude accepted:
So now, I've got to convert to 5 lug. I think I'm going to initially poor boy it and buy the 5 lug kit with drums from LMR for $260 and some Mark VII discs for the front - just to keep it off the jacks and driving. The woodwork side hustle is getting busy and that means $$$ coming in.
Nice! I definitely want to come see that. I’ll need one for my shop if I ever get it built! LolI’m climbing the redneck hierarchy. Another step up today:
Going to Dallas this week for work and will grab it on the way home. I waffled between buying this and spending the money on heads. I decided this was more useful in the long run.
