Re: Cold start weber option

I can get my car going easy enough without the cold start mechanism, but with it it's much easier. I just ran a push/pull cable to it, one pump of the gas and a half pull on the cable and it starts first time. Without it I have to pump, turn it over for a second, let it die, pump, turn it over a cou...

Re: transmissions

Actually with a 1GG/1GF bellhousing, W series transmissions will bolt up. The 1g bell pattern is interchangeable with the 2T/3T. Also, 3TGTE bellhousings work great for mating a W series trans to a T motor, but are harder to find from what I understand. If you go the 1g route, you may run into small...

Re: Cold start weber option

Oh interesting.. The top image looks like mine, I didn't realize the mechanism was so simple! Yeah, then it looks like you could have it either way, and converting to or from wouldn't be very hard at all.

Re: Cold start weber option

Hmm, I don't know. Mine came with the choke switch already attached, I couldn't imagine how you could install it if you didn't already have it. But that's a DCOE, maybe the 32/36 and 38/38 are different. What type of weber do you plan to get?

Re: Side draft carbs, so many options! (leaning towards SU)

It bogged at 75% even before, I put the larger exhaust (crush bent mind you) in preparation for other upgrades. I was going to do it afterwards but it literally fell off the car so I figured I might as well replace it with something more in line with my final vision for the car. I think it had somet...

Re: Cold start weber option

I'm not sure I understand... Do you mean like a choke? like, I know my 40 DCOE has a choke of sorts, never need to use it unless ambient temp is like 65* or below, even then it's just for a second to get it going then it idles a touch rough until it's warm.

Re: 1982 Te72 Liftback Drift suspension and brakes.

SO ANYWAY... If you're going T3, they have a full budget kit, front and back, that's just under $1,100. If you're looking to do it cheaper, you can do things piece-meal and try and hunt down parts second-hand and such. I am in no way an expert, but here's what I think you'll need. Coil Over sleeves ...

Re: Lowering a 80 wagon

I've also heard that fox body Mustang rear shocks will work well with a lowering block, all you have to do is change out the bushing. Can anyone confirm this?

Also, does anyone know the stock spring rate for TE72 wagon rears? I'm sure it's something sorta firm but I can't seem to find it.
