I can suck fuel from the tank with my mitivac.
I have the steel supply line in the engine bay connected directly to the inlet of the brand new pump then with the outlet hosed to the carb barrel (disconnected) where I can see it from the ignition, when I crank nothing comes out...

I cant fill the bowl in my carb, so I did some testing.

Should I be seeing negative pressure on the inlet of the fuel pump on starting crank? Conversely, should I be seeing positive pressure on the outlet?

I have replaced the fuel pump, and on the bench it shows pressure but nothing when installed.

The one "safety" screw holding the ignition on was actually a normal Philips screw.

I got her to turn over and actually ran for over a half minute.

The plates in the trunk are tagged '95 so it has probably been a while since it has seen burn, and the fuel in the bowl was all the fuel that survived.

Its funny to watch the circuits kick in. Turn something on and it doesn't work. Curse. Try again and it works... sort of. Curse. Try again and it works fine.
Still haven't got the headlights or dash to shine yet.

Try some more tomorrow.

The column isn't locking right now, also I cant even get a key into the ignition. I wonder if someone jammed a screwdriver in there...?

David, there only seems to be 2 wires on the ignition connector, am I not seeing one (white, black/white, yellow)

I was kinda hoping to keep it neat looking, so there was no obvious indication that the car was tampered with (albeit by me).

I just picked up a 2 door sedan and it didn't come with keys.
I can't find any of my spare ignitions so I was thinking of putting a hidden switch and momentary start.
There are two wires coming out of the current ignition, how do I wire this baby up?
I am thinking that 1 wire is acc and 1 is ignition. Do I connect 1 to the frame for acc and both on a momentary to the frame for ignition??

Has anyone seen the new add for Timex where the astronaut is late for the launch and pulls up in a teal B210 sedan?

Has anyone ever replaced thier wiring harness on a daily driver? My electrical system is totally on the fritz and I am thinking it might be better to just replace all that old copper...

How long or how much can I expect this to cost?

I cracked the flange on mine, just a stock one will do.
Can I get the crack welded?
