Most of you may remember the green car that started this addiction. After acquiring the red one, I decided to give my 16 year old whom has been wrenching with me for the past 2 plus years.
As he will turn 16, on 9/14 of this year, he will be able to drive. We have decided to take the car back to fuel injection. A very generous member here, donated a full system, including Ecu, trotle body, mps, distributor to name a few. I handed him the responsibility to have everything mounted and get the car running under my instructions as needed. I am proud to report that so far he's is doing a great job. He removed the carbs, installed the intake runners , now he is routing the fuel lines. I will let him take over this thread and post progress pics. |

That's awesome, I did the same thing with my son, before he turned 16 we bought him a Toyota pickup that needed a rebuild. We tore it down together and rebuilt the motor.
He drove it for 4 years until he went in the service, and probably took better care and respected that truck more than any since, it means more when your personally invested like that, and it never hurts being able to work on your own car. Good for you for teaching him, and good for him wanting to learn. Too many kids these days are more into video games. Ok now we need pictures, good luck with the progress. Jeff |
