That is a nice looking Wagon.

What was the processes and products used for the engine bay cleanup? Came out really nice.
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Re: 1975 710 wagon KA24DE
I think I just used simple green, soap, and warm water,, and probably turtle wax after that.... The motor/intake got steel wool and Mother's aluminum polish.

Re: 1975 710 wagon KA24DE
I got a CX racing radiator and fans, with the shroud, and it's a VERY low quality radiator ... too thin and not tall enough, but it seems to cool okay with one fan on most of the time.
and I modified a 240sx intake tube, by shortening it and moving the IACV outlet:

Re: 1975 710 wagon KA24DE
It was probably because I had the fan hooked up to a toggle switch, cause it died as soon as I flipped the fan switch. I had to disconnect the MAF to get it to idle and limp home. Everyone said I needed a new MAF, but that didn't fix it. Then I checked for vacuum leaks... nope. So I just took everything apart .. and broke out the cut-off wheel ...

Re: 1975 710 wagon KA24DE
A new/used ECU fixed the problem .. but when I drove it there was no power. It sounded like an exhaust leak, so I got a OBX S13 header:
but it didn't fit, so I got 2" extensions welded on at a muffler shop:

Re: 1975 710 wagon KA24DE
The wagon still didn't have enough power .... it turned out the spark plug wire firing order was backwards ...
... but before I figured that out, I had already torn apart the whole wiring harness:
