New World Datsuns...

And yeah, still the Buick lol.

That's what I thought originally. But even after it warmed up decently but was still wet as fuck it didn't wanna fire.wasn't until we had a couple dry days in a row that it decided to work.

So went out to put the battery on a charger, decided to turn it over for shits and giggles...the bitch fired right up. Something just got wet and took forever to dry out maybe?

I don't have any kind of scanner, just what I can get to through climate control that didn't tell me anything.fuel pump does turn on when key is cycled

Possibly too much fuel. I know I've read somewhere that a small drop in battery output fucks with these engines, I just can't find it again. Same with fuel pressure(that one I can find) so my other move was gonna be to get a fuel pressure gauge and make sure it was up to par. Just leaning towards ...

Only thing I'm coming up with is water oil ratio, and it all seems to be in relation to fracking. I'll keep looking, see if I find it, but if you're back on here before(if) I find it driven, am explanation would be much appreciated

Turns over beautifully, coughs occasionally. No idea what a wor clear flood is, but I'll Google it

Can't find where I read that now, but I swear I did

Has fuel, has spark, has air, no fire. Once this next round of winter bullshit passes I'm gonna stick it on a battery charger. Had it tested, came back good, but something keeps nagging in the back of my head that I read if the battery gets any kind of weak with that engine, it won't fire. Even if ...

Welp, something about the cold weather fucked with the Buick. Get to play troubleshooter now... Not a game I enjoy

And yeah, the 4l60e seems to be decent, I've just read that they're close to being overmatched by the lt

Mmk. Water pump was changed out in the last 2 years, tranny serviced 2ish years ago, 6 month old ball joints and tie rod ends, fuel pump about 3 years ago, plugs/wires/tune up misc about 2 years ago. Planning on having a shop nearby do a check up on it to give me an idea of what it needs, I know of ...

It's a 94, so lt1 and 4l60e, I know the Trannies can barely handle the power, and the optispark can be a bitch. Other than that, I got a steep learning curve lol

Anything specific I should look for driven? The beast has 200k miles, but was pretty well kept.

I used some of the money to buy a boat...family grew to 4 of us, and my step son is about to go through puberty and likely a large size change, plus I'm not exactly tiny either.

At least it wasn't the one the build thread was on

Yes to a good home, and noflers, the car going away isn't the one the build thread is about. The 710 is still kicking in my garage, my garage just leaks, and it rains a lot up here. The 510 deserved better than my skills could ever give her, and quite honestly I like the styling of the 710 goon ...

Off goes the 510 to her new home...

Lol, some of it is buying a used Datsun. The c clamp holding the exhaust to the manifold in place of the missing stud for example. Seats with only 2 bolts holding them in on the other hand, is just dumb fuckery. Especially since one of the two bolts on each seat was a redrilled hole, so it's not ...

The amount of fuckery that's just plain stupid I keep finding is starting to piss me off...
