Here's a cross section of a caliper for someone who was wondering what it looks like. Well, at least I was.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

That looks like a lot of effort. Did you try compressed air? You could have wrapped a rag around it hooked it up to the car & pumped the brakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

130psi did nothing. we did that for a day (seriously) and only one piston out.. Acutally not much work. maybe 10 mins each (sawing)...

We got them out and im happy.. car WILL run sunday. I guarantee it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Tried everything. Eventually would have gotten them out, just got tired and frustrated.

Didn't try on the car, the brakes weren't even close to applying pressure. We would have had to install old calipers and bleed the entire system before we'd have any brake pressure. Plus the seals around the pistons were leaking air. It would move a bit from the compressor, then we would push it back in and try again. Each time it moved a bit more.

It's actually quite easy to cut in half. But, it kinda ruins the calipers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Alright, everything is ready to roll (except the brakes, will do tonight..), so we tryed to start it.. well at first it wouldnt turn over, period. checked some things, then dad found something not put in all the way. Next it turns over, but know it doesnt fire, and I dont hear the fuel pump, and it looks like it leaked ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ), so we checked for spark and the wires arnt getting any spark, what things should we check for troubleshooting?

Anything helps,

Andrew

Ok, jumping the fuel pump relay, we get 12 volts to the pump, but no action out of the pump. Plus the pump is seeping fuel.

Still troubleshooting... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

With power to the pump.. tap on it with the end of a screw driver. They can get gummed up when they sit for too long. Dont worry about the seeping fuel right now.. the seals are probably dry and will need to have gas on them for awhile. You might get lucky and have the pump come back to life.

Oh.. check your ground at the pump. Make sure you have continuity to the ground on the battery (easy to do with the battery above it).

The ground is from the big cluster of grounds by the relay board right? I think I have a good ground on that, I'll double check.

I will try this, but I am also thinking of taking the fuel pump out and taking it apart, any reason or referance for doing this? Are they rebuildable?

Thanks

I think fuel pumps are rebuildable, but I seem to recall one of the gaskets is hard to come by. I might be wrong. It would probably be worth your time to find a good used one..

I just picked up another fuel pump, dont know if it works, but its a just in case thing.. I'll try getting the one I have on there now working, if not, I'll open it up and try and swich good parts for bad...

Does anyone know of a tech article for rebuilding it? I have heard of one, and I didnt see it in the tech places I looked at..

Thanks

Alright, fixed the fuel pump (temporarily) and the pump was good, the wires, no..

Now it doesnt have spark..
It has spark from the coil, but not from the Dizzy.. New cap, new rotor. Electronic ignition..

Any ideas? I really want this thing on the road tonight..

Thanks

Thanks, I did that, but it seemed to be that the wire attaching the coil to the dizzy wasnt in completely on the coil side (we found this after we changed points) And it now has fuel, and has spark.. So we'll do the timing next.. I think we almost have it.. Brakes bleed, pedal feels good. umm the drivers harness is installed, I think im going to need a harness bar, the shoulder one is not taunt, and the seat is holding my shoulders, so thats going to be fixed, later.

Monster Garage Day.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) .. 15....
IT RUNS!!!


Andrew no longer NEEDs to drive the Teener. Now he just want's to drive it more.

Here's where we are at. We ran new wires to the fuel pump. Direct to the battery. It works. Then we started playing with the ignition. I must have tried setting it to TDC 3 or 4 times before I finally got it right. WAY out of practice. Heck, I was doing this 30 years ago when I was Andrews age. Anyway after we were almost ready to back it out of the garage and put it up on blocks, it finally started. We checked dwell and set the timing. Beat on the fenders a bit to make the 225x16 tires roll. And took it on it's maiden voyage. Hey, we even got it home without calling a tow truck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dance.gif)

But, we're not done. Here's just the ones I can think of..
  • Most important - figure out the fuel pump wiring problem
  • brakes still a bit sluggish
  • slight misfire - probably go back to the Crane EI
  • Beat some more on the fenders
  • High Idle - possible vaccum leak
  • dash lights, tail lights, turn signals.
  • finish putting the interior back together
  • probably a lot more...
Andrew's worked hard and deserves this next pict.. Driving by the light of the moon...
