    changing '78 from auto to manual - problem

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    I cannot see anything that resembles a spacer that could be pushed out from the crank.

     

    We didn't really see it either. You will notice the pilot bearing wont fit properly right? Keep banging gently around the crank area (around probably works best), or pry, until it starts to back off - at that point it just about slides right off.

    AOL is a rotten peice of garbage and always has been, I have dealt with people in support several years ago who had all kinds of problems with thier proxy servers. Why? Because AOL wants to keep you within the AOL environment, so actual internet connections they have suck, because they refuse to spend money on speed. This goes along with websites you see "AOL users click here," because AOL insists on reinventing the wheel for minimal bandwidth (like turning graphics into .ART inferior images instead of .JPG, this is done via the proxy for your viewing torture), along with basically destroying any hopes of a normal web browsing life. AOLs proxy server destroys almost any chance of logging into a website painlessly, again this is one I know from experience thanks to thier proxy scheme.

     

    Money is spent on obtaining new customers, thier own support is making barely more than minimum wage. They charge the most for services yet provide the worst of it, on top of thier popup ad schemata, but as a company they were once a hot investment because of the way they treated people who fell for thier plot.

     

    Last time I saw AOL Broadband it was 144kbit, barely faster than dual channel ISDN, the slowest broadband you could possibly sell. If its still 144 that would make my own RCN cable connection more than 30 times faster, and no screwy proxy servers or PPPoE garbage to slow that down any further either.

     

    Your probably going to tell me how no other sites have any issues etc, I haven't had anything really odd go on here, but bandwidth costs money and nobody is getting charged for being a member here. Steve Case is leaving AOL next month, although I doubt anyone is going to fix anything, the company is projected to get worse with his departure.

     

    Ways to be successfull in business:

    * Treat your customers like crap

    * Provide poor service, but make it look flashy

    * Charge lots, deliver little

    * Pay your own employees nothing, half of them should volunteer

     

    I would use a modem before I'd support AOL again.

     

    Good luck

    computer trouble for 83 turbo motor

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Posted

    The NA computer is not going to put out the proper fuel, and the turbo computer controlls the timing on the turbo setup, NA timing is not going to be suitable unless you figure out a retard mechanism - but then you still have the fuel problem.

     

    The wiring harness for the FI is also different between both cars, pin out is also different between 81 Turbo and 82/83 Turbo.

     

    There is no MAF except on later cars, the AFM may be turbo specific though, I think it is but not sure.

     

    Make sure you get the coil and bracket for the Turbo car also, otherwise you are probably going to spend $100 to get one, or you'd have to look into an aftermarket ignition setup as I am going to do. Dont forget the fuel pump as well, unless you already have an FI car, supposedly its sufficient.

    opti-spark info

    Ha! Not from what I've seen. My 94 Opticrap had oil and coolant INSIDE of it, there is virtually no sealing on the back, it sucks IMHO :) 95 is virtually impervious to damage, much better sealing. I opened mine up and used silicon (shoe goop) around the seals as they dry and crack with heat/age.

     

    I am not going to spend $699 on some aftermarket opti with a better seal, thats a load of cow pie. If you want coil on a plug its going to be MoTeC, or some other aftermarket ignition system, and I really dont want to spend that kind of dough. Ford EDIS is wasted spark, with essentially one coil driving 2 cylinders at a time, much better than only 1 coil, should easily run 9k RPM or so for those that needed such a beast.

     

    Or MSD/Crane/Accel systems can drive 2 coils without issue, problem then becomes running all that power through the Opti, so something like the one-time Optispark-Eliminator used it for trigger but ran no ignition through it, this product didn't last long, I believe there were 10 systems made and they will no longer support them, I know someone that recently sold his setup as he has MoTeC now ($$$).

     

    When Megajolt hits the public, it WILL support coil on a plug, its the cats PJs, I'll be happy with the JR version for my Turblow. Hardware is done, looks like they are hammering out code fixes/optimization.
