Dear All, Thanks a lot for all the support along the way. I decided to stick with the manual choke and yesterday we did the final connection of the choke wire and the linkage, filled up cooling fluid and new oil and filter. As anticipated their was a waterfall out of the thermo housing. After...

Allright! I think I have all hoses hooked up where they should and the other inlets/outlets plugged. If anyone is into Quality Control feel free to have a look as I am only about 70% sure I got it right. (C-code. No powerbrakes or emission control) I have plugged the forward facing PCV port on...

OK. The Thermo housing needs to go it seems. I will reuse the original then. Check. I shall also ponder on the electric vs manual choke choice. Thanks. If you allow me to return to the question of the heat tube for the stock pedal choke: What have you done with it when upgrading? Did you just...

I am beginning to think you are right Rob. It might be a long thread. So before continuing, I just want to say I REALLY appreciate the help!! And here comes a few more questions: 1. When it comes to the single vs dual vacuum advance I understand you as I CAN run it as is but its better to...

Thanks! This answers 1-3 for me. But I am not sure I understand #4. This hose was connected to the stock carburetor. See picture. So I assume it has to attach somewhere to the new carb. But the only connection left is something called power brake port on the new carb which confuses me as my car...

Hi, It's been some time since I last checked in here. And between then and now my oldest kid has turned 14 and decided to rip our C-code engine apart and install a new performer intake and an Edelbrock 500 Cfm carburetor (1404). Its all good learnings and he is on his way becoming a decent...

OK, Doors are back from paint and look great. Thanks for the pointers. Now next question. Door Sill Plates. Mine are not original and in very bad condition. I am looking for replacements but again, its a jungle. Originally were they in aluminum or Stainless steel? The decal should its say only...

Unless, they make more than one version, that is what I got. Maybe I just got a bad sample then? Any other suggestions?

I ordered reproduction Arm Rest Pads from CJ, but they did not match my expectation. Internet shopping can be very tricky, trying to judge from photos and very little info. Does anyone have a recommendation for good reproductions or if someone is willing to sell good condition originals. I have...

I am going to remove the doors in order to paint the inside. Have never done this before and need a few pointers. 1: I assume best way is to unbolt the doors where the hinges bolts to the body of the car? Or can I get the pin out of the hinges? What is the easiest way? 2: the inside of the...

...guess it's not foam but cotton batting? In bad shape is it anyways... Hard to tell how it was when it was new. Should the foam/cotton be going over the top of the back rest as well, or should it just be burlap on top?

The quarter trim panels and the Masonite board are back from the paintshop and reinstalled. Doing the upholstery I found I need new burlap and new foam for the rear seat back rest. I have been trying to find this at npd, cj, tmi etc but only find full kits including upholstery. Since I already...

My car is without door speakers so I shall find a replacement long crank. The quarter trim panels are in the paint shop now and I was thinking painting the front doors at the same time to make sure I get the same shade, but the door is one piece isn't it? Apart from the trim panel, the inner...

And what about this? Should it really be one long and one short window crank for the fron doors? The long was on the drivers side. Which one is correct?

Ok, so which one goes where?
