The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

$1,100
But I'm open to all offers.

Just finished the passenger side window rubber (what a pain!) on the 19th.

Benc1

iTrader: (10)

But it does run and drive?

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Indeed it does. But, I wouldn't rely on it as a daily just yet.

I'm still trying to tune the carb. But it's been difficult with the wacky weather.

Benc1

iTrader: (10)

Dude I could easily give you $800 dollars cash money for it as it sits at this very moment, but I do believe I would be getting a divorce the very next day.

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

I could do that.

Haha I hear ya.
Well let me know if things change.

hey man nice car. hows the carb coming along?

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Its been annoying. Turns out the air horn is warped (typical for Quadrajets) So I'm taking all the new parts and putting them into an extra one that I used to run on it.

I've actually got them both on the bench next to me right now haha

85bluefirebird

You still have it I'm interested just trying to make enough to buy it

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Yes it's still here

85bluefirebird

Location? Im in va, cash in hand. Can come as early as wednesday, and Im in fredericksburg.

The Eager Teen

My apologies for the delayed response. A lot of stuff going on this past weekend setting up for the move.

The Quadrajets are causing way too much trouble. One keeps flooding the motor the other has a warped air horn that causes it to run crazy lean.

I'm hoping to purchase a Holley 3310 tomorrow. But until then it would need to be towed if you want it. This is getting extremely irritating.

Until I purchase the carb, price is down to $900 (basically removing the cost of the new carb) but that means it needs to be towed away.

If no one wants it by March 1st it's being either donated or junked (*sniffle*) :'(

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Im in Woodbridge by the way. Right off Jeff Davis Highway.

TymeStopper

Ok, i live in fredericksburg, so youre not too far away. If you get it to where i can drive it home, we can work out a deal. I assume it doesnt run, or run good enough to drive?

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Right now it doesn't run at all thanks to all these carb issues.

When I had my old (86 roller motor) 350 with a reproduction LT1 cam she was quite a peppy drive. Also I was averaging close to 25 mpg

I did get it to run right after I got the L98 in but, I didn't drive it very far.
I'm off to get the Holley tomorrow morning, and when I get back from class I'll go through it, slap it on and hopefully get it driving around again.

I really just want it to go to someone on here rather than just be scrapped or donated.

I will keep you updated with what happens around tomorrow night for sure though.

TymeStopper

Well, theyre calling for a ton of snow wednesday, so that isnt going to work, as far as meeting up. Maybre tomorrow evening? I also was curious, was the car originally a carb or tpi?

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

I'm not sure I'd be able to show it to you until the at least Friday though.

I have class until the almost 10pm Tuesday.

I hope it doesn't snow. That's what slowed me down the week before last!

Original LG4 carb car.

TymeStopper

Well, friday can probably work. I just want to look at it before it sells. Lol. Im also a real buyer, and love third gens. I currently have an 87 gta, 87 iroc, and an 89 iroc. Ive always wanted a 5 speed bird.

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

I guarantee you have a spot to see it, regardless of the day.

Like I said I really do want this to go to a TGO member.

Unless, someone comes and literally tows it away from me. lol (rather unlikely)

Also, I'm loving that bumper sticker in your sig XD

TymeStopper

Good good. I remember seeing this car on craigslist, right before i bought my iroc, and i tried to find the post again, but couldnt find it. I figured youd sold it. Then i was looking on here and boom. Anyway. Thanks for the compliment. I work until 5 pm pretty much every day, so itd be around 7p if thats good.

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Yep that'd be fine.

No, I had to take the ad down, since I was running straight water at the time and kept putting off adding Antifreeze, then that night BAM <20 degrees F. Water freezes in block and then I was back at square one.

Learned my lesson this time haha.

TymeStopper

Ouch =/ well, keep me updated about the progress you make with it. Hopefully you can get it running decent

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Carb is on. It's too late/early to try to start it tonight though.

I'll do it later morning before class.

TymeStopper

Let me know. Im still interested. Theyre calling for like a foot of snow tonight, so. Lol

TymeStopper

Any updates? I know the snow probably hurt. I reckon tomorrow would be good for me. I got sick as a dog and am trying to recoup.

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

Tomorrow should work.

Yeah I spent most of yesterday evening getting snow off of my cars and the driveway.

That's unfortunate, I hope you feel better soon though.

TymeStopper

Ok cool. I get off around 6, so ill be available after that. Did you ever get a chance to fire it up?

The Eager Teen

iTrader: (4)

She runs!!!!!!!!

Removed all the plugs (PAIN IN THE *** w/ these headers) and cleaned them all with a MAPP torch.

Also loosened up the rockers and Vroom. Started right up. Finally.

I'll clean it up in the morning.
