Well, I got another engine in the Black one (the one on the left here as my avatar) and she ran fine for a week until the oil pressure sensor started shooting oil out of it.
I replaced the head gasket and the oil pressure sensor and started her up and then was going to take her to work the next day and she would start.
She would spit, sputter, run rough, then die all billowing black smoke.
Here is what I have done in the last two weeks:
I have taken the carb off and cleaned it really good bottom up. I have taken the needle out to make sure it wasn't damaged and she is OK. I have adjusted the needle, throttle, and the thingamagic there that they use for fast idle (high cam), and I have tuned the thing on TDC. I have made sure everything is OK, re-done the vacuum lines from front to back and nothing. Still spits and sputters.
When she croaks she throws gas up on the windshield and backfires through the carb every once and a while.
I am braindead. I went through Haynes, Clymers, and the other book of blessed LUV and can't get her to run. I want my LUV back.
So if anyone can give me some Idears, I would appreciate it!
