what do you do with old gas after draining? last time i just left it in an old container to evaporate.

i seriously used to hate your nova, but it grows on me a little bit more everytime i see it. kind of

Got a 1980 two-door Civic. You replaced your headgasket and entire floorpan, yet?

Oh well fuck I don't know. My linkage feels smooth and crisp but it's a new transmission and I just re did it. Was it the his/hers? You can see the linkage under the transmission check for wear and corrosion or a blockage in the linkage. There's also am elbow and arm that go up to your steering column in the engine bay which turn on the reverse lights and lock the key in the ignition. Check that for binding

You guys want a real slushbox of a trans, just talk to the guy that drove a '58 Corvette with a 2 speed Powerglide from central PA to NJ for the first Dirty Jersey meet. He said it was the worst slushbox he's ever driven.

i like it, looking to getting my rotting one replaced/wrapped if its cheaper

I could just not be used to it is all. Can't wait to go pick it up Sunday or tonight.

Must of missed it in the other thread but, did you trade your dart? How did it work out?

They're not too bad if you've done wrenching before. Just be meticulous about it. Don't want to do that one twice because you forgot something. Read up on it beforehand and find an online how to if you can. Get a timing belt kit. Do the water pump with it.

But to be completely honest man, that belt really doesn't need to be replaced. It looks to be in good condition. Yeah sure it would be "a good idea" to do it since it's 5 years old but unless it cracking or oil soaked or the water pump is leaking, it's not necessary. If it was my car, I'd leave it. Focus on other necessities first. Then if you have a bug up your ass about it when that stuff is done, do it.

Still have the dart, in the process of selling it. Friday morning I had 3 highly potential buyers, now we'll see who actually pulls through.

I decided to jump on that purple 79 trans am and get back into the F bodies. I'm taking a day off of work next week to go transfer it to my name so I'll actually keep this one.
