hot **** man! Nice car. Looks like you got yourself a Racing Beat Holley Carb , fuel pump, and intake, as well as a set of headers. (The 13bs were fuel injected from the factory...) Looks real clean too. from the looks of things it'll haul ass. Congrats and welcome to the strange world of rotary! btw, if you have any questions about your 1st gen, this isn't a bad place, but the guys at www.mazspeed.com are the end-all-be-all of 1st gens. just so you know!

Looks good man. Welcome to the world of rotaries & welcome to no pistons.

Nice car.Welcome.

well i love the car... but something is kinda holding me from enjoying it. The battery keeps getting drained i think. My car wont start. If i get a jump it starts. I got a new battery and it worked in the morning, then it died again. The alternator looks new, I dont know. Theres a lot of loose cables not being used all over the place, maybe that has something to do with it, something touching something it shouldnt... possible? When i turn the key it feels like it wont make it so i give it gas and it turns on, but sometimes the rpm just falls if i let go of the gas, then i cant turn it on no more... and the battery drains if i try to turn the key. I really wanna drive this thing... but im a total noob and im just being patient, im gonna let the man who sold it to me look it over. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png (it is kinda frustrating that everyone likes my car that i havent really drove yet)

Is that a Holley? Looks like an Edelbrock to me but anyhow, just because your alt. looks new doesnt mean it is! You should have it tested!

That is definitely a Holley. The fuel bowls on Edelbrocks are integrated into their bases, which means they don't leak like Holleys. I'm currently running an Edelbrock 750 on my '69 Cadillac.
