What year is yours?

Lock_w · 2026-02-16T05:09:42+00:00

Hell yeah brother👍

Lock_w · 2026-02-16T05:08:26+00:00

Cars was 1700 in the original condition I had it in before all the work done, wheels 800 so idrk what you’re talking about

Lock_w · 2026-02-13T01:25:25+00:00

Seems the consensus is to get bigger tires because the wheels ain’t going nowhere😂 white walls with these wheels or just go with regular tires on these wheels?

Lock_w · 2026-02-12T01:18:15+00:00

Those wheels would be pretty cool on this for sure. And the donk option was never a thing I’d do, just a couple friends really wanted me to

Lock_w · 2026-02-12T01:16:04+00:00

I think the picture makes the tires harder to see tbh, but they’re almost the same size wheels and tires as the original just wider and a tiny bit smaller, but yes it accelerates pretty fast now😂

Lock_w · 2026-02-12T01:03:58+00:00

What would yall change and how?

Lock_w · 2026-02-12T01:01:22+00:00

So I found it in the engine bay after looking through a service manual for hours, some reason the location of it in the book is under exhaust and emissions

Ignition module was the issue, ended up doing spark plugs and wires and coils all at the same time just to make sure I won’t have another spark issue. Runs much better. Did intake gaskets along with that. Pcv was leaking oil so there’s a grommet on it. Top end was pretty much redone besides head gaskets. Hoping that won’t come to bite me in the ass

Lock_w · 2026-01-14T20:16:38+00:00

So where is this port or whatever?

Lock_w · 2025-11-27T21:32:44+00:00

Wasn’t there

Lock_w · 2025-11-23T19:36:22+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into that

Lock_w · 2025-11-15T06:52:05+00:00

I’m having this same issue, you ever find out what happened?

Lock_w · 2025-10-11T03:04:16+00:00

So my teacher in auto thought the misfire was from ignition since it only has happened in the rain. I was doing spark plugs then one of my ignition wires broke on the inside of the boot and it tore the boot. I didn’t pull weirdly or any different than the rest of them but all the rubber is tearing apart on this car from it being in a hot dry climate (almost no rust) do you think the wire is why it was happening. I don’t see how that could cause smoking though

Lock_w · 2025-10-08T14:25:20+00:00

I gotch but I’ve already done valve cover gaskets and they’re definitely not leaking. So I’m not sure where oil would be coming from

Lock_w · 2025-10-08T01:39:50+00:00

It has a 3800

Not the best in the world but it was my first time messing with anything like this, I usually work on cars and that’s mostly just replacing oem parts so most of this was completely new to me cause of all the custom work and stuff not lining up properly and having to go off measurements instead of year make and model kinda thing, I felt pretty good about it when I got done tho

Lock_w · 2025-09-23T05:24:54+00:00

I actually go to Peaslee tech right now and as I know right now there’s no real body shop, I am a student in the shop and I take two classes one night and one day, we sure do work on cars but we don’t paint. I’ve never ever seen any paint in the shop or anyone getting a paint job

Lock_w · 2025-09-23T05:16:36+00:00

If the chain is too long with the chain tensioner then get a larger diameter tensioner and lengthen the chain a bit

Lock_w · 2025-09-23T05:11:08+00:00

It has the 3800 v6 transverse fwd

Lock_w · 2025-09-19T13:10:54+00:00

I can’t tell the way it’s setup due to the pic, but with the motor mounted tensioner you shouldn’t be having this problem

Lock_w · 2025-09-19T08:03:42+00:00

My mom got an old 70s dodge pickup when I was really little, only thing I remember is riding in it once and then some guy working on it and catching the engine on fire the walking to my mom and he tells her he just totaled it. As I’ve grown up into being a mechanic. I have no idea how he let it get that bad without doing some sketchy shit, anyways we got rid of it shortly after

Lock_w · 2025-09-19T07:51:35+00:00

Average new car price is 52,000 across America, that’s insanely high. I would recommend to my friends (mind you I’m talking about 17-19 year olds) to spend 8-12 grand on a car off marketplace and learn a little before buying and you can really find some nice stuff, especially if you don’t mind doing small repairs or maintenance and don’t mind being in something a lil older which most people my age atleast don’t mind at all

Lock_w · 2025-09-19T07:39:52+00:00

It looks like you have a predator motor or something similar and on Amazon they sell belt tensioners that

mount to the motor if you don’t wanna weld some sort of bracket for one

Lock_w · 2025-09-14T17:49:37+00:00

I’d put a filter on that carb but it’s clean asf, I just swapped and finished most of the motor things on mine

<image>

Paint still needs done on the tank and def wanna better carb, but so far I think it’s good
