Engine's Out!!!
Man, what a weekend that turned out to be. That stupid "Driveline Beam" must have been put in when the driveline was out of the car because those top bolts suck. Anyway, here's a few pics of the weekend and then a few questions about stuff I found.
The car at the beginning :
End of Saturday (Day 1):
Engine's Out (Day 2):
Empty Engine Compartment (Yeah, it's gross right now):
The Final Toll:
Ok, so here are the questions.
First, since I'm converting to a carb, which sensors and wires do I keep and which ones go to the computer? I don't need the computer to run the dash, do I?
Second, when I removed the clutch, the pilot bushing fell out on my head. My friend who was helping me said they are usually in the flywheel really tight. The bearing was a little spun on the outside, so we figured it just wore out, but the weird part was I couldn't put it back. I'm replacing the crank with a forged one. Will the new one have the bearing in the same place? Some cars have the bearing in the flywheel.
