    I did forget to metion that the car shuts off when the secondaries do open - kind of scary trying to stop. But that was only when I removed the clip that locks the secondary to open.

    1983 So Cal turbo for sale

    I worked on the secondaries - even took the carb to be rebuilt and still no secondaries opening. I do hear the turbo spool but not turbo boost. This car has been a love hate relationship. I guess I will never buy another carb car again. In California smog laws suck and every other year the...

    Can a broken tranny mount cause trans problems?

    Sorry for the rant - but I paid more than 1500 for a tranny to be rebuilt and I get an excuss that a mounts was the cause of my trans problems. At my job - no matter what happened I have to say the truth is real. What happened to the customer is always right.

    Can a broken tranny mount cause trans problems?

    Short story -- I hate customer service. I will buy a new trans next time. But with my lock i always get the defective parts and no one wants to honor. I guess living in LA is a bitch. Plus since I am no Trans mechanic I have to go with what they say. Just an example - today I went to have my...

    Made sure that the wires (orange) were all connected and put in new fuse. I have radio, clock, int. lights again. I did mess around with the lighter (back side) maybe that did something.
