Almost like a right of passage. Your going to eventually have to replace it.

Couldn’t get out there but I’m getting another swap meet in Buena Park. It’s a small one it I want to check it out. And thanks

@pacoimaspeed i have been to it it's tiny but you never know

That’s so cool that you get to restore a car that’s been in the family since new. Sounds like it’s going to look awesome when done.😎

We have a few state representatives along with SEMA that are fighting the legislator. All we can do is call our representatives and sing all the petitions to have our voice heard.

Yup. Unfortunate it is no longer all car related. At times it looks like a regular swap meet.

Thanks for the history lesson.

Yup. A lot of heavy breathing on this video. 🥶

pomona is a suburb of L.A isn t it ? and don t hit by the blaze ?

@ Pomona is in Los Angeles county but far away from where the fires where.

Looks like Toyota used the same valve with a whole bunch of models.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised with the turn out. A lot of good parts. Just nothing I needed. Great show

Also, I noticed you also have a CCC Quadrajet, I see you left the original computer controlled HEI in, technically this should work once you have the base timing set right? As technically it'll be locked out with no advance adjustments right? That was one thing I'm trying to figure out. Thanks!

Thank you. It took me a long time to finally pull the trigger and replace everything. I’m very pleased on the outcome.

My distributor is a vacuum advance and not computer controlled. The computer controlled distributor will lock you out. Not sure how it will run without the feedback from the original sensors. I believe it uses the throttle position sensor to adjust timing. Not sure about that. In order to work properly you might have to go with the Atomic efi controlled distributor witch is also smog legal. If you need any other help feel free to ask. It was an experiment and it’s not done. Still have smog it next year that’s the only reason I’ve kept it looking stock. Still having a cold start issue but I’ll get it figured out. I hope. 🤞

​@@pacoimaspeed Thanks for the reply! Luckily I live in NY where I don't have to worry about smog. So far, I'm looking to replace my manifold with a Edlebrock Performer so I can have the square bore flange and no EGR. The only thing I'm trying to figure out, I know with the MSD you have the option to either have the unit control the timing with the associated accessories. But I've also seen that the unit can run with the stock HEI. Being that you have a vac advance HEI, is yours disconnected? What do you have the timing set to? I know with my computer controlled HEI, once I remove the computer, the timing would be locked to whatever the base timing is set to. I'm just assembling a parts list and debating whether to go with the MSD StreetFire HEI or wait use my stock distributor and see if I decide to go with the timing control on the MSD. Thank you!

@@samirghanie465. Lucky you. Not having to deal with smog opens up a lot of options. Not sure a put the computer controlled HEI but if others are running it I’m sure it will work. I have my distributor connected to manifold vacuum from the atomic and it works like normal. Timing is set at 10 now but I have been messing with it trying to get better performance out of it. Its a cruiser so haven’t really changed much since everything runs well. If you don’t have to worry about smog you can go to a vacuum advance distributor and ditch the computer controlled HEI. You have a lot of options, you could get a distributor from a swap meet and see how you like it. I do that often so I’m not spending so much money on parts. Good luck.

Keep that thing alive. Can’t believe that they are getting rare to see on the road now a days.

Hope it helps.

In the video he briefly touched on the difference between the two valves, if you’re having hvac problems it’s related to the upper valve-#1

It is related to the upper valve. I’ve never had to replace the lower valve and I don’t know what the lower valve bypasses.

Yes it does and it sounds awesome.

Both steering wheels, the aftermarket and stock didn’t have an adaptor. The aftermarket wheel had the same splines as the original steering wheel. Saying that I don’t remember if the steering wheel was closer or further. But I changed the wheel almost as soon as I got it running. Didn’t drive it to long with the old wheel. Hope this helps

@ thanks for your response…just noticed you’re in Pacoima. Local to me as I’m in the valley, thats dope!

That’s awesome. Joe thought me a lot also and I was just a customer. Always liked going there to support and I liked talking to Joe.

It probably does. Toyota doesn’t really change much between model years.

I had one about 20 years ago that I also regret getting rid of. So happy I got this one.

Yes I love these cars. I got lucky with this one for the price I paid and the condition it is in it was a great value.

Yes I love fox bodies. I had a1993 GT in 2000. At the time I didn’t know how valuable they would become. That one had 30k miles when I bought it complete stock and was an awesome car. So happy I got this one.

Thank you. It will be rippin on the road soon.

@@pacoimaspeed yeah keep us posted 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

@ most definitely will.

Will do. Thank you for the suggestion

Thank you for the feedback.

I was always an Alpine guy so I’m not familiar with the amps and speakers installed in this car. The sound quality is great due to the high end components.

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s idling way better now. I guess it needed to run for a whole since it was not run for so long. Also I couldn’t run it to long because of the overheating. Replaced the radiator and ran it and slowly it improved.

@pacoimaspeed Yea, Those Cars Are NOT Ment To Sit Long.... I Would Still Reset The TPS And Check The Timing Since It Sat Long... I Battle Mine Cuz It Sits All Winter In Canada And Summer I Barely Drive It but It's Always A Joy To Work On...

@pacoimaspeed Make Sure You Change The Fuel Filter... You Will Be Very Surprised With The Difference It Makes....

done

done and runs a whole lot better

Thanks. I’ve always liked Fox Bodies and I am so glad I was able to get this one at a decent price.

Yes sir.

The good thing is that it was almost 200k miles before it gave up. It would be lousy if the starter went out more often.

Ford and Chrysler have started in the same location except it’s worsted than this 4.7

@ I don’t know why that is an option for them to put that starter under the intake. But I’m not an engineer

Yes. Its happening all over the US and it’s sad to see it happening.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

I singed and donated to try and help the track. Keep in touch about the track in the desert.

Yes. Everyone was giving it there all that day.

Your probably right. But sometimes you don’t have to totally restore it. Just get it driving safely on the road and enjoy it. Thanks for the feedback.

You are welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you.

Ohh Yes. The good old days when they where using the overflow near the entrance.

I was not sure about those cars. I thought it they borrowed parts from other cars. Thank for the knowledge.

@@pacoimaspeed Thank you for filming them....

For the shell of Mustang? I wonder if it came with other parts?

I might make it up there. Always wanted to go to Turlock and see there swap meet.

We should car pool were both in the 818 😂
