    75 Cordoba restore

    So I have been piecing together more and more parts. Thought the motor was going to be put in today. Found out the oil pickup I have will not work. Due to the longer stroke of the crank, I am going to have to get a external oil system. Something I have never messed with before. Hopefully I...

    75 Cordoba restore

    Ok, so I havent updated this in a LONG time. A lot has changed with my plans for this car and the work on it has started moving forward again. I was having a LOT of issues keeping it running. Turns out it was just the carb. Replaced the little Holley with a Demon 650 cfm I loved...

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    Well I think the compression guage is bad. The part that screws into the motor spins and does not sit tight. Nowi can get it to read anything for the compression. Found a new problem, which may be the source of some of my other problems. I started the car and it was idling rough, so I went...

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    I checked the vacuum at the intake manifold and it held steady at -19. I tried to get the compression tested and on cyl 1 I am only getting 60. :( I tried getting the compression on cyl 3 and can't get a reading.

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    Finally a little bit of an update. AfteR a few hours of going through my Haynes and checking everything connected to the ignition system, I found the problem(well one of them). I checked everything, and pulled all the grounds off, hit them with a wire wheel, and everything was checking out...

    No, there is no progress. I started a new job working nights. I worked the last 6 nights in a row. Haven't had the motivation to get out there and mess with it.

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    Thats ok, I like it! increases my chances of getting this thing up and running. Unless i miss understood this, if I try to move the fan by hand while i try to start it, I will loose fingers. :( I did this the other day, when it died in my driveway, about 100 feet from my garage :( SAme...

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    I found my haynes manual. I used a MM and checked the ECU and starter relay. They seem to check out. I arced the started with a screwdriver and it clicked once. I assumed the starter was bad and started to pull it out, before I disconnected the wires I hit the ignition and the starter engaged...

    1) I will work on it, when i get the engine to turn over, all those are possiblities 2) Cap, rotor, plugs and wires are all new, gap on plugs is good. I dont know what the Ballast resistor or EI box is. I cant find my manual and only checked a couple auto parts stores, not in stock. :(...

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    Sadley no, I did not use any fuel stabilizers. THe battery post are clean, and battery has been on a chrger/maintainer. Which of the 4 relay wires do I jump? I know jumping the starter itself works. Figured you would like the title. No it doesn't crank at all right now. It only clicks...

    I put a 4bbl on my engine and now it hates me

    It clicks one time, then nothing. Yes, when it does start if i keep it at a higher rpm it stays running. I have been looking everywhere for my Haynes manual for this car, I think i just need to buy a new one. :( I was still Active duty when i started working on the car, I know it ran well...

    Back in January 2000 a friend of mine passed away and left me his car, a 75 Cordoba with a 360, 2 barrel carb, auto trans, completely stock. This car was my daily driver until I joined the military late in 2001. The car sat until about 2005. I was able to get it running again, but not very...
