Car sold today, and I'm glad to say it stays in Nova Scotia. Sort out the tranny and the car could still be good 20yrs from now. Sad to see it go but lots of other projects waiting for attention!

Tachometer air conditioning kickdown starter ring gear sensor

The tach eventually died completely, the air conditioning stopped, and the kickdown stopped working. So after lots or reading and testing the engine speed sensor (open circuit) I replaced that (...

I eventually managed to get this transmission to shift acceptably, but now another gremlin has crept in.

Ooops, yes you're right, the odometer offset accounts for 4%. Tyre size changed from 195/65-15 to 215/65-15. This car can easily pull the higher gearing so I don't think engine fuel efficiency is...

When you screw in a thread crooked, as long as you don't actually strip the thread right out, there is a lot of the original thread left, and usually enough to hold a fitting. I guess you're taking...
