after getting a buddy of mine to dolly the car to my house i went to town diagnosing the car.
Image
the car is so slow that we had to jack it up and roll the dolly under the car :squint:

once i got the car to my house and in the garage, i started by checking the time bc i knew the kid was messing with it to get more power out of it... listening to his honda friends :facepalm:
i notice when i took the distributor of it was installed upside down with only one of the screws holding it in place. so i put the motor to TDC, put new NGK plugs in, put the distributor on the right way, plugged in the wwires and the car started right up. :rolleyes:
Image
Image
Image
Image

BUT the car was running like a 2 stroke motor and idling really low. as im playing with the throttle i notice a llot of exhaust is coming out between the motor and the headers. there was only 2 bolts holding the headers on. MASSIVE EXHAUST LEAK. so i went out and bought new exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts... 7 out of 8 holes were good one had a broken stud in that i will get to later but after i tightened all the new hardware in i didnt feel any leaking so that will do for now. :inout: plus i only am keeping this motor for a couple more weeks before the car gets a heart transplant :ohno:
Image

the still runs a little rough but i will fix that

BUT i got some parts in to do my battery relocation
5ft of 0g black ground wire
18ft of 2g red power wire
2 150amp breakers with resets , one inline one ring terminal
Image

Image
Image
bought the car gutted but it came with interior pieces except rear seat and passenger seat

AND yes ABS is getting taken out just need to go to the junkyard and pull non abs hard lines
