[AMC-list] IT RUNS!! (and idles pretty dang well now)

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

ok, so my issues are getting solved on the new sx4. i was tinkerin with it some more tonight. did what jim blair had said and swapped 1/6 plug wires to make it backfire to blow out the carb. still didnt work after i put them back. it backfired after that (it would do once in a while anyway) and i just so happend to be looking at the carb when it backfired. and POOF!!! i saw a bark of flame out the back side of the manifold next to the manifold/brake booster. waddya know. there was a threaded hole where a plug or SOMETHING was at one time. stuck a bolt in it to plug it for now. fired right up and idled pretty dang nice. the stepper motor and micro switch on the choke are not hooked up. so, i decided it was time to put the radiator in, and fill with water. (didnt run it for more than 1-2 min dry and let it sit for about 1hour after) filled it with water and let it idle for 1 hour or so. temp gauge wont work. where is the sensor at? i cant find it. i had a
 mechanical gauge dropped in the radiator cap hole. read solid 170* steady once the t-stat opend. hooked up vacume line to the 4x4 stuff. clutch master is gone, and rear drive shaft is out. try to slide into first, car wanted to creap forward. so, feels like 4x4 might work. got the car for $125, have $35 in parts in it now. i think im goin to have a CHEAP winter driver. need to get all fluids changed before i drive it more than a mile from the house. im EXCITED!!!!
