Finally got it to run. However I discovered that I'm going to be replacing the engine.:-( Cracked block right in between cylinder 6 and 8. Looking at putting a 454 in it, anyone have advice for doing a swap? Helped with one before but this will be the first one I've personally done. Questions I...

Well put the batteries back in and it's still refusing to start, checked glowplugs and compression all coming up fine. Narrowed it down to a fuel issue I think its a clogged filter. Picked up one today popping it in tomorrow. If that doesn't fix it I have no idea, not a kinked line. Might be...

Pulled the batteries yesterday to charge them. Voltage reading was 12.41v, Quite a bit higher reading than expected. While I was pulling them noticed the cold start retarder was hanging next to the injection pump, Would explain my no start issue. Won't be able to get anything done till Sunday...

Looks good! Is it the Rust-Oleum paint?

Lol it doesn't have mufflers currently so I was not giving it much throttle. It started and ran for about 15 seconds then cut out. If I'd have gassed it like normal it would have ran fine. Fairly certain it's a combination of the cold start solenoid not working and junky injectors.

Can I use a normal 30mm deep socket for the injectors or do I need the OTC 5060?

Alright haven't updated in a while so here we go. Brakes are doing much better it stops in a straight line, just a little vibration from the warped rotor. It is skipping second gear and going straight into third, not sure if its a vacuum issue or a shift solenoid. I can put it in first and bump...

Hubs are not locked, Was able to get it in the air last night, there was an incredible amount of gunk in drivers side caliper. I should have taken pictures, scraped as much as I could out and hit it with brakleen. Turns out rotor is also a little warped not to bad though still driveable. In...

Probably gunk built up all around caliper and in the slidepins. Doesn't feel like a warped rotor although not ruling it out. Forgot to mention when slowly down right before stopping there is a crunch kind of sound. Difficult to explain the noise I'll see if I can record it.

Guess brakes aren't fixed yet. :x Took it for a drive yesterday, it now pulls to the right when braking. Had this problem before master cylinder replacement, But went away for a few days after. I'm fairly confident its not a pinched or clogged line with how easy brake bleed was. I'll get it in...

If I'm correct its AC-Delco 15-81743. Although alldata isn't being to helpful with part explosions.

Met up with DJones yesterday. Great guy really excited for the Haspin rally now. Tank is topped up now. When it's getting close to empty I might pull it and give it a good cleaning I can't even imagine the gunk in the bottom after 30 years. I'm going to setup a long-term study with different...

I'll top up the tank Sunday when its out for a drive. Also DJones will be meeting up with me to take a look at it and hopefully give me some advice since he's had more experience with these vehicles. Excited to meet another member.

It has half a tank currently. I'll go ahead and dump a full can in for a little extra action along with some two-smoke oil, and then go to the to one can per full tank. I've dealt with air in lines before, that was the main problem when i first got it. Would start and run for five seconds and...

With the seafoam should I just dump two cans in the tank? I've heard of popping off the fuel lines and just sucking a bottle dry, Although I'm not wanting to blow up my engine.

Grill covers are going for 125 on ebay. Can't justify that right now with how little it gets driven, next time I drive it I'll slide another yard sign in there. It has quite the noise to it when its warming up sounds like an intake valve popping open. Once it warms up the noise goes away for the...

Grabbed an old yard sign made out of corrugated plastic and ziptied it in there. Got it covering about half the 1/3 of the radiator, will have to play around with it, currently its not blocking enough. Anyone have any experience with Liquid Moly Diesel Purge? I was given a can of it and...

Since it a balmy 14 degrees (-11 windchill) decided it was a good time to fix the brakes. Slapped in a new master cylinder and bled her, old fluid in the lines was nasty. Popped in a new headlight and filled her up along with a health dose of anti-gel. Glad it's back on the road, been a while...

Dot 5 I believe. wish it wasn't so expensive.

Belts were replaced last month and coolant last winter. Although hoses do need to be done. Didn't get to do much this weekend, was pretty miserable out. Did get it to fire up though for the first time in a few weeks, ran like crap has a misfire in cylinder 3. it cleared up after running for a...
