Gotcha, I just tried that too after seeing your update. Still, working ok/as it should on my end.

Re: Big VAM easy drop in?

I wish all of the photos were working, I'm getting ready to do this conversion. I do have the bigger VAM to turbo hose, so there's that:-) Pictures seem to be working today. Not sure why they were broken links before. I really don't mind the factory air filter or factory box, it's just that hose un...

Re: 85 XR crank won't start *no spark*

You should have 12V on both, and then the Green/Yellow should drop to GND real quick and fire injectors.
If the pump is triggering when you move the distributor and connector around, sounds like it is working properly.
Next thing I would check is timing of the crank and cam position.

Vovan has a Scorpio.

Re: Exhaust studs on the head or stick to bolts?

I did a search for Lima race engine and those links had lots of pictures of heavily modified Limas many with manifold studs. Those UK guys that build the various 4 cylinder Ford racing engines recommend putting red rtv on the manifold bolts to keep them from backing out. Haven't tried that yet myse...

Re: Resoldering control modules to eliminate warning lights

I feel you. I've tried the similar fixes on my tach and moving the pot, and it still barely works. yep, same with that post as well...I've taken apart and soldered the connections on each for the tach, still works, but also still reads 30-50% low. Basically no change except me doing a lot of detail...

Re: Resoldering control modules to eliminate warning lights

Anyone still here? If so, are these photos still available somewhere? I tried doing this last fall, however nothing changed on the module, actually did both but neither made any difference. I'm wondering what was here that isn't now and if it is something I missed. From what I remember, it was just...

Re: Body options and wheel sizes

Not driving yet. It was running when I put it in storage. The broken piece of cladding is the panel between the door and the rear wheel. I don't remember which side. My suggestion would be, before spending 10's of thousands on parts and shipping, get it running and driving. Make it reliable first. ...

I agree, that is a good combo if you were able to find a good shape interior in tan.
