me & my brother took this on,
he said he knew how to do it,
I sort of knew how to do it,
we got down to taken the pulley off & broke my extension for a 17mm,
1/2 drive socket :banghead:
nothing was open but wally world,
the only thing they had was a set for 15.00$.I ended up getting it,
finishing up the work,the car started on the first try!
I was glad,took it for a quik drive,stopped at a stop sign,
let off the clutch,pushin the gas & it wouldnt go nowhere,
tried again & it acted like it wanted to die,
I thought the timing jumped or came loose or somthin'
I had to raise the rpm's & let off the clutch to get it going,
the temp gauge was going from cold to warm,back & forth,
depending on how hard I hit the gas,
it was going crazy,I shut the car off about 1/4 mile from my house,
tried to start it back up,it wouldn't start,turnin over!
my brother came out of nowhere & said,awwwww"I know what it is"
he said it was because we didnt put no antifreeze in it,
we started it back up,it started,drove it home(temp started to raise)
we ended up puttin antifreeze in it,I had no heat,
the motor was hot & the radiator was cold,
I turned the bleeder valve & air said "phssssssss"
no later then 10 seconds hot air come beathing through,
car ended up driving fine all night,took it a little over 80 miles right after,
runs better then ever,but it still didnt fix the problem,
my little sqeaking I got going on in the motor area!(driving my crazy)
sqeaks at 2300 rpm & 4000 rpm when I have it in gear off of the gas!
& sqeaks as im setting at a red light,just steady idle'n
changed alternator,have 3 belts,all bolts are tightened,(did inspection)
new water pump & its still sqeakin
o'well,
I guess tomorrow its time to think of somthing else it could be!
but the thanksgiving was alright! :cool:
4:04 am,i gotta go 2 bed

I'm not forshore about it,
we just tightened it up,had a little play init,
but it runs fine!
today I'm hooking up my air/fuel ratio guage,
some mechanic told me I had the wrong fuel mixture,
