This is correct, cannot blow air in to the hardline coming out of the body beneath the fuel filter. Can the rollover valve(s) be deleted? Doesn't seem to be the issue this time, as I cannot blow back to the tank. Might just have to replace the whole run of fuel line with a new sending unit.

So the saga continues. Old girl left me stranded last night. AFTER driving it an hour to work and an hour home. Home for half hour, go to go to store.. sputters out and dies a mile from home.. I had just gotten fuel before getting home.. not out of fuel. Get out, check, yup no squirters, no...

Hello all! I never got under the car to see where the leak was coming from. As releasing the cap stopped it. I have done a few small drives since with the cap loose and all was well. I need to replace the fuel sending unit anyway, so I was just going to get a tank/unit/straps and replace the...

HOT DAMN DUDE, that thing looks hot AF

I developed a fuel leak last year with too much fuel in the tank, or if she was parked nose down.. Just figured it was the sending unit gasket and I was going to get to it this year. HOWEVER, when I got it out of storage with the same low amount of non leaking fuel from the fall.. i went for a...

Well shit eh, thanks for that info! It has a little sag.. as can be expected. And yes, i know shocks arent what set ride height. Lol. It is needing shocks because the entire car floats uncontrollably over rolling bumps. Granted, i had the trunk and back seat loaded with camping gear, and...

Hello there all, Ive semi owned this car for a while, driven it my whole driving career. It is need of shocks. The fronts, at a quick glance, look like more than just the shock ends need to he unbolted to get the job done. Whats the preferred procedure here fellas. The rears are likely...

The engine isn't fully stock, nor is it built or anything lol. 4 barrel and intake, and electronic ignition upgrade. The pump is making an awful racket, so it is sure to go sometime soon. Ill keep it on there as long as possible I suppose. But if it goes, pipes on the head, and remove cat...

No emissions, still has the cat. Remove the belt and pump, what do you do with with the air tubes?

Thank-you all for the SUPER informative replies! :) As it would appear, I may have a fairly shitty time trying to find some rear brakes.. haha. I am pretty certain it has the 7.25 diff. It also definitely has a finned drum from what I recall the last time I had the wheels off.

Hello good people of the FMJ world :) ! I dont post often, because for the most part my old girl runs along just fine year after year. However, at the end of last season I got stranded for the first time in about 7 years AND the front brakes finally wore out. I don't know that they've ever...

I normally drive an 01 diesel volkswagen to work (75 mile round trip), but it has been down for a steering rack replacement for the last three weeks! So I have been driving my 88 5th, and it has been extremely enjoyable :). The looks you get, and the heads you turn is a good time. Luckily I get...

Yup, pretty darn certain lol, have I seen them drip? no lol. But the fuel is gone and the oil is very gassy. I do not get days out of it sitting, it will be hard to start within 12 hours. It will stumble away on what is there for a few seconds until the fuel pump pumps some back up in there. For...

Thankyou, I took that picture in my grandmother's driveway this past weekend. It spent the first 30 years of its life since brand new in that exact driveway ;). Scarborough, Ontario. What I ended up having to do when I swapped to 4bbl was move the bracket on the intake back a set of intake...

So, I have an 88 5th. Years back the ECU or the carb died and it wouldn't run right. To replace those items was looking at near $800. So I went the cheaper way and scored a TQ, performer 4bbl intake and a regular ignition distributor. Fast forward 7 years and 15k kms. It has always ran pretty...
