1. He's got a 5-speed so the Park/Drive selection is not relevant to his setup. But for an auto you are correct.
2. 1982-83 have a slightly different setup than earlier throttle bodies. I can't find a good picture of the 82-83 type. The verticle cylinder molded into the intake manifold has a slot head bolt down inside. Unscrew that bolt a little while the engine is idleing. (warmed up already) That should do it. |
hey, bleach, if you could get me a pic or something itd sure help, thanks

it was a 50/50 guess.. mine is auto, but i havent seen how the standard models go about it, wild shot in the dark i guess

Ya, that's fine. It is the same throttle body for the auto and manual. But on a manual you're just adjusting the idle while the shifter in in neutral.
The main difference is the 1979-81 throttle body and 1982-83 throttle body. Ok, I found an old pic of my engine. |
I'm sure you get asked this all the time, but where did you get your 3-point strut bar? Assuming it was custom made, how did you go about making it (ie the mounting rings)?
