- Fri Dec 01, 2006 5:55 pm #643 Good find! while the motor is out is the best time to change the clutch too. Unless you knew the original owner and he says there was planty of clutch left.
Are you going to have any issues with OBD1 vs OBD2? wondering if the Distributor harness will be different...

Keep us updated on the swap!

Quick update

- Wed Dec 06, 2006 3:11 pm #683 the LS is in but as the car was running we noticed a small fuel leak one of my friends said it could be an o-ring in the fuel injector so he is gonna take a look at it while im at work so hopefully that problem is fixed and i can get my car bak on the road!

- Wed Dec 06, 2006 5:03 pm #684 some times the easy fix for that is that the bolts that hold on the fuel rail aren't cranked down all the way. see if they can be any tighter. if not, then new o-ring like you said.

- Thu Dec 07, 2006 12:27 pm #689 another update: fixed the o-ring so theres no more fuel leaking, it was ideling really wierd the whole day but we got it working around 11pm last nite so its basicly done just need to bolt on the front bumper and need to take to to a muffler shop to get the exhaust welded on. then ill post up some pics
