And we have a running car!
Check out the cold start old start video! http://www.flickr.com/photos/29341303@N ... hotostream
I just ordered a new set of injectors, fpr, tps, and some reducers to help make my fuel pump setup more legit. Also ordered a fuel injection pressure gauge.
2 of the injectors are not firing and appear to have some damage on the ends. I ended up cutting off the rubber with my hunting knife to get the fuel rail off without damaging it. The rubber basically has turned to concrete. GB engineering sells reman injectors at 25 a pop and have good reviews.
The issue of having the extra connection on the d-jet fuel pumps is easily solved with a 3 way fuel filter that is available at all auto parts stores.
Also reviewed some of the history of my car and google stalked the previous owner. Reviewed the paperwork as well and found a few interesting things.
- Originally sold by david ramza motors of Oxnard CA. Google street view - http://bit.ly/V2eVrA
- Former residence of the original owner. The car was stored in a carport, clearly the reason for the very little sun damage to the paint. Google street view http://bit.ly/12j0ORN
- Found original dealer sales slip which contains the original Engine number, sales date, etc. The engine is ORIGINAL. Date of delivery 5-19-73
- The AZ title I have is from the original owner! It was sold in 2005 but never registered. Googling the original owner seems to indicate that he moved in 1992 and brought the car with him to AZ.
This guy was really living the dream. I can only imagine how awesome it was to drive this car at that time. If you put down your 3500 bucks for this thing you had to really want it. When is the last time we drove by a showroom and saw something we wanted more than a classic saab!
