The Market / 86 Base with ISUZU 5 Speed

« on: February 24, 2011, 08:30:03 am »

I have taken all I need out of this car, but it still has the tranny and engine (bent rocker) in it.
I'm having a towing company come get it next week, so if anybody wants anything from it, let me know.
The tranny and clutch is good, so are the shifter cables and shift assembly. Bring tools and get what you need, next week she'll be gone.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / I desperately need some help – Iron Duke

« on: February 18, 2011, 03:29:47 pm »

I have done some moderate repairs on an 85 Iron Duke....
Last weekend I replaced the water-pump, as I was told that the bearings were shot, so off I went and replaced it
The pump doesn't leak, but I had leaks elsewhere and planned to get around to them this weekend
Today the new water-pump started making the same noise and I could tell the belt was getting hot (it had snapped on me twice before, and that's when the bad water-pump started making sense). So to make sure, I adjusted the tension on the belt via alternator a bit, same noise...and then..........car won't start anymore
Cranks, but nothing else.
I know I'm a layman, but I have some knowledge of basic automechanics, I have sparks/ignition and I get fuel, but she won't fire up.
I'm also smart enough to know how dumb I am, so I need help.

Anyone willing to come out to my place and inspect her? Compensated of course.

HELP!

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Front right running lights

« on: February 16, 2011, 09:04:42 pm »

It seems that I have an issue with the front right running lights. All other lights (warning flashers, right turn signals) work. Have all new relays.
Anyone run into this before?
