Dude I love the Entire look of that car. The color, fenderless, slammed front axle slid forward. That took a lot of time and energy and looks incredible. Can't wait to see what you do with the sa lol. As for the front cover, I normally work on v engines and the front cover is what I call the timing chain cover

Thanks man! I sold it like a month after it was done,had a blast building it for a year and a half and it turned out bad *** looking but after driving it for a month the fun was over.It wasn't a drivers car and I like to drive if you know what I mean!

Worked on my mazdarati today,got a new water pump,thermostat,painted the new housing,pump,ext.

ready to start tuning next time I get a chance to work on it(gets dark at like 5:30 now)anyway I took some more pics.

I think I have a RB header?And the p-o gave me a new dash,just showing everybody what TX.sun will do to a dash in 30 years.lol

Thanks.I got it idling good and put a new water pump and housing on it.Now I got to find out why my temp gauge is still not working?

I have taken it just around the block (tags are still out) and it's running good but I think I remember these being a little quicker?

Not sure the secondary is opening.

That's great! I think on my fb the temperature sensor was in the radiator. You should see a sensor in it with two wires coming out of it. As for the performance, with the stock carb and headers you're not going to have much back pressure and therefore little torque. However she should sing at speed though and have great acceleration through 3rd through 4th

That's what it feels like,I think you're right.As far as the temp sensor,it's by the themostat and I replaced it when I did the water pump housing because The old sensor had a broken wire.I've traced bolth wires back to the fire wall and they look fine.So it's got to be inside the car I think,maybe even the gauge.I do have another gauge cluster that is nicer and I was going to put it in anyway.So when I do tha I'll get a better look at the wires inside.Hey,I have an oil leak somewhere under where the oil filter goes,only when it's running.Is this a common problem?I can't see under it but I can feel where it's coming from,goes drip-drip-drip.
