You should be running ported vacuum. Connecting to manifold vacuum is what causes advance to drop when tipping into the throttle like you are seeing. Also, did you have the vacuum advance line...

Thx for the eBay item number. I just bought that piece. I’ll check out jegs for the other piece I’ll need.

I checked for that kit on RockAuto but they didn’t have it either. I called Metro Moulded and they do have some WC3396 available. It looks like I’m stuck buying it from them at $60 bucks a piece!...

Didn’t have time to make the call today. When I got home from work I did more searching and cannot find the Wc-3396 anywhere. I’m going to put metro molded in my call list for tomorrow to see if they...

I called Fairchild today and they are not willing to do anything nor do they have any universal material that will work. I emailed Steele the other day but haven’t heard back. I’ll give them a call...

The glass on mine seems to rise up properly but I’ll take a closer look at it before I commit to doing anything. Good to know it doesn’t guide the window in as well as the original.

I reached out...

Thx! I’ll send them an email and see what they can do.

Lol yeah arts and crafts was definitely not something I enjoyed. I’ll go the new bulk material route and get a good pair of heavy duty scissors…and make sure to take my time.

The Wc-3396 seems to...

Thanks guys! I neglected to include in my first post the car is a ‘85 4 door CV with vent windows.

Wagonman…do you have a good used set for a vent window door?

Looks like I’ll be enlisting the...

For those that have replaced the front window run channels does the factory stuff go all the way down to the bottom of the track inside the door? I’m hoping not as I’m not very good at removing door...

Nice job getting to the root of it. I’m surprised plugs would cause a misfire on decel due to the extremely low load the engine is under. I would have thought the miss would have been more noticeable...

Does it feel smooth with no misfires when accelerating hard? If it were an ignition issue heavy load is when it would show up.

It potentially could be the trans. I’m not an AOD (or trans in...

A Hayden 5942 from Rock Auto looks to be the correct replacement. There is an upgraded assembly, Motorcraft YS-173, but those are difficult to find.

Crap I should have kept my mouth shut and not made my comment about everything lining up. Looks like I jinxed it lol. I was really hoping that there was a way you could make the rod could be made to...

It sounds like everything is going to line up well with the TV so hopefully the adjusting goes smooth. Excited to see the project in the final stages.

Sweet! Have you gotten the TV rod hooked up yet?

Looking good! Can’t wait to see it finished!

Looking great! Can’t wait to see it finished. Watching it come together is making me want to move forward with a carb swap on mine. Glad you’ve got the roller block,too. That is strange that the...

Glad your making progress! I’m curious to know if you’ve got a roller block once you get the intake off. I believe they switched to that block mid 1985 model year.

Looks like that fan clutch is for tow package cars. IIRC tow package/heavy duty fan clutches lockup 80-90% whereas a standard duty one locks up about 60%. Did the tow package cars get a different fan...

Definitely a neat garage! I would put a sheet of 6 mil plastic down over that dirt though. The moisture coming up will rot the undercarriage quickly.

The instaclear cars had the 100 amp 1g alternator as standard. Non instaclear cars had either the 60 amp 1g or the 75 amp 2g depending on the year.

All three of those alternators have very weak...

That’s great to see one of those trunk trim strips for sale! I’m in need of a new one since mine didn’t survive being removed to replace the adhesive. Yikes on that price though. I can’t justify that...

Instaclear was available on US cars too. I actually saw two of them in the junkyard earlier this year. One still had the instaclear windshield installed while the other one had an aftermarket...

Sure thing! It won’t be until the spring until I’m able to work on it though. The car is in a storage facility for the winter and this one doesn’t allow work to be performed on cars while they are in...
