View Full Version : a new project.. 3rd in line.. lol
K5JMP 05-07-2008, 09:10:40 PM Got a call this afternoon out of the blue...
caller: where do you want me to park your car?
me: huh? my cars should be parked in the back yard...:confused:
caller: OK.. see ya later..
me: huh?:confused:
got home and found that Justin (kid up the street that I have taken under my wing to some extent..) finally has had enough of the '88 IROC. Was ranting about a horriffic fuel leak... handed me the title and keys...
"I'm done with it!" he says. standing offer kicked-in:) 6-hundie... not pretty, but solid and runs OK. Lots of extra parts and I helped him get it going so I know where the car is.
Like I say... 3rd in line.. but just couldn't pass it up:screwup:

it's a hybrid carb John... and I have emissions here or would put the L-98 TPI system I have on it.
Do you really want a complete (for a L-98 350) TPI system? I have one I won't be using....:innocent:
Hey kik... gotta find something other than a full-size 4-wheel drive. Is 100 miles a day round trip...
A race car would be cool. Just so happens a local guy has a sweet tube car I could use for a template.. lol;)
Need a cheap DD that does better than 12 MPG:screwup:
John Wright 05-07-2008, 09:49:46 PM I would like to find some FI to gain the low end torque to use the high gears of that T56 that I'm chasing.

OK..talk to me...
K5JMP 05-07-2008, 09:51:43 PM I've got everything from where the fuel lines hook to the manifold bracket to the fuse-box...
And I mean everything:D
Offer?:innocent:
John Wright 05-07-2008, 09:53:31 PM I don't have a clue what it's worth
kik_start 05-07-2008, 09:54:50 PM Second in line for the TPI... can you send pictures and how much you going to ask for it?
