next step is heavier oil for better compression, fixing cosmetics like the dash, new motor mounts all around, new harmonic balancer, getting the driver side window up at least, mounting the radiator fan and getting a new plug for it, and some small stuff like a proper shifter knob and boot to cover it. should be fun
@joshuahedahl6768 it's a limping cylinder not a dead one. it's got low compression not none. at about 1.5k rpm it runs fine cause it builds pressure but till it gets that power to it it's low compression on cylinder 1. I'll be changing oil weight and seeing if that will build the compression on that cylinder and if that doesn't help I'll be taking the head off to see what's going on in there. also i dodnt put it in this condition. the previous owner let his buddies drive the piss out of it and they ripped the timing belt and it didn't run at all when I bought it. I've revived what they said was a dead car amd will continue to make it run better each time I work with it.
@joshuahedahl6768 it's also appreciate the comment bro. I didn't mean for it to seem like I was yelling at ya. if you watch all the previous videos and shorts you'll see ive done the best I can for having no idea what I'm doing so far. it has been a very fun experience and I hope it'll run better as I go with it.
