Another 1990_LX Production

[1990_LX]

Well the compression is in the mid to high 150 psi range across the board so the motor is pretty tight! I think my problem is the regulator I have is a piece of shit so I'm going to save up and get a nice Mallory unit that has a return line hook up to bleed off the excess fuel.

So I have since got a Moallory regulator, I'm going to be buying a new Holley carb in a couple of days. I put my stock hood back on and got my floor pan, but now I have to weld it up. Here's how she sits...

And my new sheet metal just sitting in there. Once that's done I will have taken care of the ONLY small bit of rust on the entire car!

Just like your old LX Project this one has no paint on it

Looks like things are coming together nicely Jeff!

Shiny cars are cool, fast cars are cooler.

Great job on cleaning up the engine bay. My next project on the 88 that I am working on is hiding the wires. They are such a mess under the hood and the solenoid cover for it does not seem to last from all the write ups I've read.

 

[1990_LX]

Thanks an, I still have to finish up wiht some wires and what not and I'm on the fence about moving the battery out back but the next step would be to start tacking the holes closed. Moving the wires can be a bit tedious and annoying but I didn't have too muc hto do since my car is carbed. You might have to extend a few for a nice fit but it's no big deal...just do them one at a time and if you can, solder and heat shrink them.
