[QUOTE=Scientwist;52310031][URL="http://www.padandwheels.com/mr2/alternator/alternator.html"]Here is a write-up that may help.[/URL][/QUOTE]
Yeah I know about that one.
Haynes or BGB don't mention taking the adjustment bracket off, and its already in such a tight place that putting it back on would be a hassle too.
I'll take a look at it again when I get the chance

What car is this on again?
The amazon/ebay knock sensors normally last about a year. On mine, after about 8 months, the housing cracked in the heat and threw the code again.
The 463 is probably your fuel sensor having a slow death.
My Impreza started throwing that code. Eventually the fuel gauge would randomly drop to empty, stay there, then go to normal.
The 440 is likely that leak.
A few months ago I applied for a processing job at the u-pull-it I go to all the time. Never got it, but whoever did either cannot read or doesn't know cars at all

The proper name is [i]right there[/i]
"Lesabre" might not be in the system or something.
There's a bunch of properly labeled LeSabres there, but mis-tagged cars all over the place of different makes and models.
I bet you 10$ the reason you didn't get the job is because you filled in the box "caucasian" and not "hispanic".

I bought a 1969 Beetle lol[/QUOTE]
Now there's one Beetle, one buggy and one mix on facepunch
[QUOTE=Slade Xanthas;52311980]A u-pull-it probably isn't a bad idea to find a cheap fuel filler neck, now that I think about it.. may have to visit Baughman's in York again to see if their Subaru stock hasn't rusted to non-existence.[/QUOTE]
Besides the fact a vented to atmosphere fuel tank is begging for a fire, it would be vastly behooveing to get that filler neck replaced on the pronto.
All itd take is some dumb git flicking a cigarette near your car in a parking lot and kiss those wheels good-bye sky-high.
[QUOTE=Ldesu;52311811]Now there's one Beetle, one buggy and one mix on facepunch[/QUOTE]

I only know of two others that had Beetles and neither of them have posted on FP for literally years so I'm not counting those.

Find one that has been replaced already.
Easiest way, 99% of the time, the fuel cap surround has to be replaced too and will be nice and shiny.

hey i fixed the rust
the only place any full on rot was was the floor pans, everywhere else was just surface rust that came off with an orbital
Once a rust beetle, always a rust beetle.

I will be the rust champion of beetles. Fuck you all.

And remember. Run her rich as fuck, get a bigger oil pan with a oil pump with a filter attachment either on pump or relocate and for god sake make sure your generator light works or else you will do this.

Hey i just rigged up a alternator light out of a pill container last week. Ill post pics when i get home.
Started the Datsun for the first time today, it runs great! but I think the exhaust might be a bit rusty

First time I had seen brown clouds come out of a car exhaust
Found out why my Daytona has 15psi compression on the two middle cylinders.

In other news. Just as I figure this fucking head gasket out, my PT Cruiser GT blows it's head gasket out too! Now I have two heads to surface! [B]FUCK.[/B]
Fun hobby boys. And one of my dailies down.
Speaking of down dailies, my brothers suburbans transmission is fucked. The torque converter started slipping recently, now it started screeching and his trans fluid has metal in it. Now he's gotta borrow my fucking car to get to work.

Tell your friend to get use to it if he doesn't get a trans shop to upgrade the valve body,servo and clutches. Thankfully my 700r4 with those mods have stood the countless abuse I've thrown at it.

Please use highway on-ramps to merge at highway speeds. If you are one of those who tries to merge at 20-30mph below the speed limit please let me know so I can educate you.
And stay tf out of the left lane if youre not passing

In Pennsylvania we call the right lane the speeding lane, and the left lane the SPEEDING FASTER lane.
in my younger years Id get up to like 90 miles per hour on the ramps. fun stuff til you throw a rod in your $500 crapbox at midnight and have to wait 6 fuckin hours for a tow truck. at least that tow was free because of it. good thing because I spent all my money on beer while waiting for the fucker
a lot of cars (ie 4 cyls) can't get up to 70 in that distance uphill so I can't get mad at people who don't merge at highway speeds
imo feel free to use the left lane if it's 4 lane and you're hauling ass anyway. for 6 or more lanes, stay in the middle, save the outer lanes for passing, merging, exiting, or people with cars that can't break 55 without grenading

I sped through your entire [del]lovely[/del] state on I90 today, but one thing I sure as hell did not do was get in the way. People like that drive me crazy. Frickin wisconsin drivers all come to a complete stop before turning every single time and it about drove me up the wall.

I swear, whenever I find myself up near the IL-WI border, the Wisconsin drivers are just way more aggravating. Might just be bias though.

I once almost witnessed a car get t boned by a semi after an old lady I was stuck behind cut off a car doing the speed limit while she got on the freeway doing 30 under.
[B]IM SORRY I CANT HIT 70 ON THE ON-RAMP IN MY MUSTANG OKAY MY 2.3 IS ABSOLUTELY TRYING IT'S BEST[/B]
No but seriously, our on-ramp's here are like, 50 fucking degree's and my foxbody literally is dying when I try to go up it. Even when I drop it in third, and people think (For some reason) I am a 5.0 so when I am FINALLY on the highway, they get next to me and yell at me, they obviously can't here my 2.3 at 6k rpm's trying it's little heart out.
Another thing, I found out about 2.3's is that Volvo 240 Head fits right on it with minor drilling, Thinking of doing that for (What I heard) 30-40 more horsepower. Might do that. Or just throw my 351w in it when I get it finally built. ALSO IN OTHER NEWS. One of my Rich friends who loves car's has an extra Coyote block from a 13 5.0 sitting around he was thinking about selling me for 300$. I'm debating about it but...it's just the block. Which is a steal for 300 don't get me wrong but to get everything else for it...and tranny and all the wiring...it's going to cost me a lot. I dunno. 351w or a Coyote? I could get the 351w in before end of the year but for the 5.0 it probably be spring next year. But that gives me time to get my car painted and interior done, as well as other shit.
IN OTHER NEWS (I haven't been on here forever so I'm sorry about dumping all my new car news, just enjoying telling everybody) I got new wheels for my mustang.

It looks SO much better. Paint's next then Interior (If not motor swap first)
