The forgotten Beige 69 510 build - NWD edition

[draker]

I got these really sweet floor mats from Al. (Denmarkboy)

I'll give them a bit of love and clean them up a bit. They are in good shape, just dusty. Thanks Al!






In preparation for Blue Lake and other activities I've been trying to get some miles on the engine. I am guessing I've got 100 miles on it so far.

I noticed a strange sound yesterday from inside the car.... wtf is this?

[DRIVEN]

Blue Lake? Is that coming up?

[draker]

Blue Lake? Is that coming up?

You better believe it. Next weekend.

[DRIVEN]

Well, huh. Maybe I'll wash my car and roll over there too.

That noise sounds like either the throttle linkage hitting something or the heater control flap

[izzo]

I have those same floor mats I put in the truck you sold me

Ding ding ding!!!

I found the throttle linkage mount loose on the firewall and the linkage mounted to the carb was coming loose also. Put a bit of blue locktite on it.

SNow that that annoying noise is gone,more seat time

Kind of.. I broke down on the way to work this morning. Matchbox module took a shit on me pulling up to a stop light.

I got it replaced and it's back on the road. 3.5 late for work though.. but that's ok.

I hate it when that shit happens, throw an extra module in the glove box, it doesn't take up that much room.
I have never seen a bad one before myself, my issues are always with the plug that connects to the module.

[draker]

That's what I have always heard.. not the module. I'm gonna get a spare.. since I just used mine. Dang it.

[Laecaon]

I have one not being used...

I have heard of them dying from an alternator going out.

What do you want for it? Just the matchbox right?

I'll hook up my scope and check out the alternator.

[Laecaon]

Idk. It was came from a junk dizzy in the JY. Got any hotwheels?

I think the alternator was due to lack of charging, low starting voltages, not enough amperage in the battery. Basically browning out. Your alternator is probably fine.

Yes, I have a few. Not a ton. I'll check my duplicates.. mostly older 510's.

I'll get back to you.

its alive!!!!!!!!!

[draker]

Kinda.. I re-adjusted the valves tonight to try to get rid of a bit of noise.. now it idles even worse. Wtf. I'll probably adjust them again and go on the loose side rather than the tight side.

I set them to spec though.. meh.

That scope is flippin sweet.
