Greetings all,
I finally decided to get off my lazy but and put my Turbo Coupe back together.
Long story. Something was humming on the bird (manual trans and something from the clutch plate, etc) plus it started leaking oil pretty bad and I drove it to Menards or Mills Fleet farm and when I left it wouldn't start. So I got her home and decided to pull the motor and get her cleaned up. Found out the valve cover gasket was where the leak was and the engine ran smoothly so I replaced all the gaskets, I think the clutch plate was bad so I replaced that and the weekend I was to put it back in my son was born the previous Friday. Needless to say the little boy sure eats up alot of time so it wasn't til he was about three that I could trust him outside with out much supervision (running to the street, playing in the front yard and visiting neighbors etc) and I started the process of putting it back together. Doing most of the work by myself I got the shaft and transmission lined up and got the engine in place. Winter arrives. Next year I start putting things here and there but just lazy plus so many other projects around the house (redo the basement bathroom, build a shower and tile it, finished my BA in Information Security so needless to say I didn't have much time. This year I finally started putting the everything back together and am looking for a little expertise since I don't recall everything that is plugged in together. Normally I just look for male and female connectors and match them up but not working to well this time.
Anyone in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area willing to help out a little? Text or call me 612-859-5262 Name is James

Publicity, fame and accolades can make a theory popular. They can't make it true.
